Little Sally, I think your suggestion to just stop making SW content is not conducive to anything.
I didn't suggest you did that. Read more carefully in future.

Even if you were ok with just "sfw sw", you should read the terms of use of Gumroad and Ko-Fi: even if the characters are clothed, if it can be construed as fetish or titilation it's not allowed on the platforms
So ok, making content that is more SFW/SW is more like what I meant. But if you say even that isn't going to be acceptable on an online selling platform, then it's going to be difficult. Unfortunately I've nothing to suggest since monetary gain is your goal, other than exploring patreon and doing commissions as Sai said.
Failing that, maybe adapt your style and content to something that
will be accepted on Gumroad etc, which will at least give you a chance to sell something.

So basically go re-watch 80s cartoons shrinking clips and Arrietty, because that's all you're saying should exist
Again, I didn't say anything of the sort.
And just for the record, I've no interest in animated cartoon depictions of shrinking women, or manga or similar stuff that passes as SW art. Same goes for clips from online games, and most of the other video content that gets posted.

Your other suggestion to just do everything for free is just I'm not gonna dignify that with a reply
I wasn't suggesting you choose to do everything for free, that's your own choice. But I simply said that I don't personally choose to pay to see stuff, and that's
my own choice.
But if you can make a go of what you do eventually, then good luck to you.

People don't realize this is a side gig and we are sometimes striving to survive. The free stuff is for people to hook you in for stuff later on.
Eddie, I don't know your personal circumstances (nor do you know mine), but I can assure you we are all working hard and striving to survive one way or another. Sorry, I don't buy this 'struggling artist' perspective, the way it's used about an online fetish.

Yea, I thought so as well. By definition amatur/professional is defined by how you get paid, so in that world no professionals would exist, and no one would ever develop professional skills because they would have to devote most of their time to real jobs to survive.
Well, that'd be me putting paid to many a glittering movie career then lol!
"Darn! I'm sorry I didn't support you when you were living in a bed-sit on the bad side of town, but I really loved your latest blockbuster!"
Sorry, I'm just cynical enough to think that doesn't really count in our own context. But if someone from these circles gets to remake a mainstream live action version of "Land of The Giants", I'll be happy to be proved wrong!
We shouldn't be holding our breath though.
