He wasn't just cranking out all this art and then suddenly decided to start charging people to view it. Without the prospect of earning back the time investment, I'm sure he'd rather be playing a videogame or something. If anyone does want to commission a pic of Cheetara from Oni, I'm sure he'd do it, and with their permission make it free for everyone to see, as he does with his Monday pics, but since nobody has, this is the only way that this pic would come into being. Now, if a pic is on HU, it's there because nobody commissioned it (he doesn't post any commissions to HU). The costs of producing the work get spread out over multiple customers, as if 3-4 of them chipped in to have a single piece produced, so it ends up being cheaper for each of them while returning the same rewards. Instead of paying $70+ to get a single image, you're paying less than half that to get access to dozens of images from Oni, as well as hundreds from the other artists on the site. The benefit from the consumer's perspective is that you get more bang for your buck. If people don't end up paying to enjoy it, then you've clearly wasted your time in bothering and aren't likely to do it again. It's more like a comic book or a song or a movie, you do the work on spec, and the idea is that people later pay to enjoy it. Yes, commissions and such are ONE way of earning money on a piece, but this is another, equally valid one. Now, as for the rest of your argument, poppycock. Same thing here, everyone who legally enjoys the full version pays HU to see it, HU pays the artists. They pay the tiller for their meal, and the manager pays you from the tiller.
