I never want to criticize something that someone has made, but I do want to offer an alternative! I think you'd be SHOCKED how much amazing, completely custom artwork is available out there on sites like Fiverr and Upwork. For $100, you can get something beautiful and not generic... and best of all, support an artist! (Obviously you can eventually spend significantly more on talented designers, once your project beco…

Why does every Silicon Valley company have these creepy looking people on their websites?
Facebook did it, everybody copies Facebook. It's awful.

I'm curious, do you feel this way about open source software as well? Does it cheapen the value of being a developer? If not, why do you think art is different and why is open source art a bad thing?
I love and highly value open-source software. I try to donate to the creators of every piece of it I use, and make a rule of it if I intend to use it commercially.

Honestly, it sounds like a bullet dodged if you lost a contract to a clie…
I think you might just be a bit more optimistic than I am, as I myself am not convinced that quality (by non-monetary measurements) will win (or even survive) in the end D:.
Why someone should go to such lengths in order to make someone money for free? Have companies just become a leech on public with tax evasion and discount and private?
Surely you don't do everything for monetary compensation? Maintaining a contact, helping a friend move, having a guest, teaching someone something, people do all sorts of stuff for free. Just because feel like it, inclined to the thing itself, promoting their other work, wanting to make the world a better place. Ruin others' similar efforts, to emerge as a monopoly and excercise larger control[0]. There's plenty of reasons.
