      Kid should have told the mother that he was studying to be a vet. I know a fella who works three months a year (during the breeding season), and for each little slice he makes in a doe, he nets somewhere between $300-$1000. A single rich rancher can have dozens or hundreds of deer that they want to selectively breed to get bigger, more ‘prize-worthy’ bucks that can fetch a high hunting fee for folks willing to pay for it. All the feller has to do is the last step of the IVF, not even the semen collection bit, so he shows up, works for about a week at each ranch, and moves on.

      It’s mind boggling how much money he brings in.

      Can you provide me with a query that would get me this information? Because furfeak (probably misspelled but this is really outside of my knowledge realm) does not yield many relevant results

        I’ve seen people asking for up to $500 for a commission. It was a pretty intricate commission, but they obviously get it. The ones that I just can’t believe are the very obvious character drawn naked, and then some clothes are added on top. Then a streamer style bullshit goes on where after they get X amount of money, a piece of clothing is removed. I’ve seen people, in an aggregate, toss thousands at those. Boggles my mind.

    Furries are notoriously rich, so I think that’s the only out for someone who’s drawn themselves into this type of corner. It was business, not pleasure.

      the more niche a fetish is, the more money there can potentially be made because there’s no creators that “Create” in it. hence theres an inverse relationship to mainstream fetish and how much a typical content creator for it makes.

        Well, the people who want your art also have to both exist and have money to pay you if you want to make money. There’s probably a sweet spot. I’m not sure what it is, but the money to be made probably declines after a point.

          at some point yes, but that rabbit hole is very deep.

          for example, hard to prove if actually true or not, but the whole theory on nikocado avocado and his channel actually being a front to advertise for a secret feeder fetish crowd.

      I fucking love buboosenchan.

      She’s amazing.

      Although watching her I’m super reminded that she’s a tiktoker through and through and would like to let all of you know that a different tiktoker (etymologynerd) just released a book about how language is evolving to circumvent censorship particularly on tiktok and even discusses a few instances where the algorithm silenced his content. It’s called “algospeak” and is just soooo well researched and cited and I’m just enjoying it so much!
