something that boggles my mind about creators STILL using adfly despite most of the community being against it is that it shows that they either donât have the self awareness to think about the children that click on their dl links, or they just donât care? like yes a lot of the adults and older teens and people who have been online for a while know not to click on sketchy links, to have adblock installed, etc but young children probably donât know that.
i started playing the sims when i was like 5 years old, and i didnt know SHIT about online security back then. i didnât know shit about online security until i was at least 12, and i played the sims that whole time! if i knew about cc back then (which essentially in a kidâs head, is just stuff that Makes Your Game Pretty) i wouldâve gone ham online downloading everything i could find! and i probably wouldâve clicked on suspicious adfly links! and i probably wouldâve done some serious harm to my family computer, or been exposed to nsfw content that kids really should not be exposed to!
yes there should be options to enable people to support your work, if thatâs what you want! a lot of work goes into making cc and mods and if people want to support you they should be given the option to do so. but there are better and safer options that donât put people at risk, like ko-fi, patreon, or even a paypal donate button.
