This is something I am considering because it's just not doing anything for me.

I'm thinking about taking down the print option of some of my images.

Mostly because no one is purchasing them.

This option is available for any subscriber but it seems to only benefit the very, very popular artists.

Which I am not.

I had someone buy some of my prints, but only when I pointed them out to him.

And the percentages I get for the prints aren't that great when I barely get any buyers anyways.  Yeah, they would even out for those who again are more popular and get a lot of buyers for their prints.

But for those of us who don't...the percentages are shit.

I much rather see the full amount of the money rather than the percentage.

I don't know why I thought I'd bother since all I get is a bunch of "I don't have any money, or I'd buy them" comments from my watchers.

I'm "popular" enough to have watchers, just not popular enough to have watchers who want to buy a print from me.

So, yeah, I am thinking of taking it all down.

yeah, i can understand the feeling. i stopped selling prints of my artwork years ago because no one buys any and really the way the percentage system works on DA, is almost criminal they get most of the percentage and may it not really worth it.
