I hearya. There’s a few reasons for that. First, the premium sites usually have the HD videos, so when I use those, I have to post a link back so they don’t get me for copyright infringement or something. I’m not gonna lie and say the money doesn’t matter… of course part of the reason is sometimes I get paid from them too, but I work on this stuff all day and food and shelter doesn’t grow on trees, ya know.
The other thing is, I used to grab full videos from streaming sites and then post the links, but those are usually low quality and I’m trying to post more big gifs instead of the little ones. Plus I had a whole bunch of bookmarks to streaming vids that I lost (which actually I recently recovered). And the full vids from the streaming sites are usually pirated and unauthorized, and I got stung a couple of times on Tumblr for that. Don’t wanna take money out of anybody’s pocket if their work is out there and people are watching it for free.
I’ll see what I could do tho. And I know I don’t have to explain myself, just trying to be straight up.
you used to be more friendly about those links… now it’s just advertising to make money
