Gotta love how they bitch and moan about how artist can price their work however they want... but if the price is low that's suddenly very wrong and harmful. What a manipulative bunch

More artists should be doing this. This actually gives artists a good name and makes them look good. Showing that not all of them are deranged wallet leeches. If you have reasonable prices, SHOW THEM OFF! This is EXACTLY the kind of moment to do so! They'll whine about artist solidarity and all that nonsense they say while they'll try pressuring or bullying you but don't listen to that tripe. Don't let them drag you into the dumpster fire they'll pushing the market into!

Is this really that common? I've seen 2 artists admit that today and another one getting pestered just like that. Are artists really pestering and bullying those that charge low prices??? Kinda ironic that they have the audacity to keep telling us to just find someone cheaper but apparently they're also going around and trying to make those cheaper ones to disappear so it would normalize their high prices. What a manipulative market...

lol. Lmao, even. Anytime people say that the prices artists demand are outrageous, some wise asses come in and say "Just find somene cheaper!" Here's someone cheaper and the result? "Raise your prices! Your low prices for quality art make us look bad!" But think about the artists, they'll likely say. They don't think about the artist either. It's purely selfish self-interest because here's some quality art for lower prices while they keep chargings an arm and a leg and look like scamming leeches. They'll peddle the bullshit that they care about the artist, but all they care about is maintaining the 'virtuous' look of their ridiculous price lists. Artist can charge whatever they feel like and it's their right... but not when it's low enough to make them look bad. Hypocritical and self-centered. It's this sort of sentiment that does more harm to the artists. At a time when they need to solidify and entrench their position in the market, they do their utmost best, down to pestering other artists, to price themselves right out of the wider market and remove themselves from it. It's like they're trying to maximize their profits while they can and cash in before shit goes up in flames because they know they're fucking it all up. Their own worst enemies, as always.
