PayPal have a habit of freezing accounts under suspicion of money laundering. I’d move funds to a bank ASAP.
Maybe it’s only on their PayPal because it’s frozen there? 🤷🏻♂️
PSA: nobody should keep more money on paypal than they can afford to lose
ESPECIALLY IF THEY’RE AN ADULT ARTIST OR ENTERTAINER. Last I checked using your PayPal for that is against tos and PayPal has zero scruples about seizing all that cash.
PayPal has zero scruples…period. They’ve gone downhill, I don’t trust them anymore & I deleted my account.
Yeah i got an email from them saying they deactivated my account from not using it and I can log back in to reactivate it. No thanks!
Yeah they should really move it. But that’s pretty decent for the first 2 weeks of October.
Maybe that’s the real flex - that a million dollars is something they can afford to lose.
That’s about 900 k short of a million, but your point still stands. I don’t have 100 k to lose.
There’s no need to prove stuff like this to anyone. People nowadays need to feel validated by putting everything out on social media and being bathed in positive feedback.
Putting your bank balance out there for clout just draws attention to places it doesn’t need to be drawn to. Let haters hate! If you enjoy what you do and get paid for it, then no amount of hateful comments should slow you down.
On another social media site that is losing relevance by the day, I remember two guys (edit: normally I don’t assume every poster is a man, but I feel confident in this one) were getting into some argument that got personal in the “you’re a no life loser” kind of way, and one of them started taking photos of the sports cars in his garage to prove he wasn’t a loser. It was one of the most bizarre things I’d seen. Like dude had no self awareness of how foolish it made him look to think that anyone would care about his material possessions.
It got even more surreal when the other guy did the same damn thing. Also photos of sports cars, also apparently proving that he wasn’t the loser and the other guy was.
It was incredible to watch them both continue to insist that the other one was a loser and themself wasn’t, whilst also being perfect mirror images of one another. It was the spiderman meme.
I interjected to point out how sad they were both being, and one of them stopped replying and the other one agreed with me and said he had expected the other guy to delete his account after one of his particularly epic ownages. I couldn’t particularly identify which ownage he was talking about.
I don’t remember if I pointed out that my comment was about both of them, or if I just left it alone out of pity.
We get it: you don’t like sports cars
storms off to garage to take photos of sports cars to impress internet people
it’s like a nature documentary
“Here we see two human males competing to see which has the finest plumage, to decide who gets to mate. Unbeknownst to them however, while they’re distracted a less opulent male has courted the female.”
I was having a bad day.
Now kiss.
What if I have a constant, crippling need for validation
Show your bank account balance to your therapist
You can always show me your bank account your pin number perhaps send over your ATM card as icing in the cake.
Find someone important in your life. It doesn’t have to be a spouse. It can be a friend, family, even a pet.
It’s an incredible feeling to get approval and validation from people who think you’re a significant part of their world.
I learned not to make fun of something if it gets bills paid
Except for lobbying

Robbing people can also pay bills. I’m sure there’s a common denominator that we can use as an exception to the rule.
The suspiciously wealthy furries strike again.
The real cost of selling your soul to be rich, you turn into a furry.
I argue the opposite: If you get rich, becoming a suspiciously wealthy furry is the only ethical choice: You gain riches, you don’t keep them, you give them away to the less-fortunate.
The only ethical consumption under capitalism, other than ass.
✅Furry porn
✅Ass
✅The Rich
But for real: why do furries have so much money? Do you get a raise when you come out as a furry? Do you become a furry when you get rich? Do furries just steal a shit ton of money?
Indeed. No IT pros I’ve ever seen dress that professionally. They brief the highest boss in a polo at best.
Someone draws furry porn, they become rich but it turns them into a furry as well.
A rich furry.
So then they pay for someone else to draw their furrsona.
It is a vicious cycle.

A furball system
IT jobs pay well.
They don’t, there’s tons of poor furries, too(I’m still convinced my cousin is one…). You just notice the rich ones more because they’re the ones that can afford a fursuit and/or commission art.
I work at furry cons, and have done security at Bronycon. There is far more money in that fandom than people realize. A lot of it is IT of course, but you’d be surprised how many young and attractive women are in those suits with real professional careers in law, business, and medical. Furry fandom lets them be themselves.
They better move that balance to a couple different isolated bank accounts since PayPal is NOT a checking account.
It can still be embarrassing tbh
i wish i knew how to draw so i would only draw peoples crazy fetishes and make a ton of money. I would even tell people I had a publishing company focused on the sex industry, while on my pool drinling a beer at 3pm
Not embarrassing if you have no shame
For other people then
None of the furry artists I know got rich off of their art, but that’s probably because they all specialize in fairly niche kinks.
Pretty sure niche kinks pay extra.
Who is this artist? So I can tell them to move their money off PayPal of course.
I couldn’t find a job as an illustrator/animator, maybe there is still hope for me.
