There could be a market of people who would rather pay other people to make AI-generated pony-related images for them. People who don’t want to spend the time to learn the intricate ways of coaxing the best images out of a generator, or don’t want to put their money directly into a website that does image generations. Pay someone who’s already familiar with how to manipulate the software.
A section for commissions?
We disabled the commission listing here because of the experience on derpi of the overhead it creates while not actually having that much engagement. Basically plenty of people treat it as more than a listing and think the site itself is handling the listing or even acting as a middleman, and moderating that sort of stuff where money’s involved is… not great. Add to that the aspect of AI and art styles, our collective livers don’t need the extra punishment.
No issue with there being a thread or people linking stuff on their profiles and images, though.
Just makes it a little trickier to find people willing to do image generation on behalf of others, that’s all.
