Hello friends!! I wanted to make a quick thread about tipping via ko-fi! I’ve had a few questions about it, so I figured I’d make this. These are basics that apply for some/most content creators. If other people have different things they do, I’m sure they will specify them! +

Ko-fi, or buy me a coffee, is often used as tipping or donation system for content creators. They also have other services, but I am not familiar with them so I will not speak on them!

Ko-fi does not allow nsfw content, just as a heads up for any people filling

Commissions on ko-fi.

A donation or a tip is simply a thank you or an expression of gratitude for a content creator. Many of us do this for free, so it is just showing your appreciation for the creator through a sum of money. It’s literally like buying the creator a

Coffee to say thanks.

You can write a little message of gratitude on there, but definitely keep it sfw. The creator can see every message and I’m sure they appreciate and cherish every single one!!

Tipping however does not guarantee that a particular thread/ work will

Be continued. You can think of it as encouragement, but unless you are approaching the creator for a commission, you cannot expect that your tip or donation 100% means that a creator will continue. This should be for every creator unless they specify otherwise.

I don’t mean to sound condescending or like I’m talking down to anyone in this thread, I’m just answering some questions that I’ve gotten more than once over the past few weeks since I’ve started linking my ko-fi and the end of threads!! I figure that maybe it’s a bit confusing

Since sometimes I have had comms open for threads and others have as well, but it is different than just getting tips! Thank u all ily
