19-year-old artist accepts game currency as commission payment for digital art, only to get told she's a fool for not taking actual money: ‘Let me have fun’

What type of currency should one not accept as payment for their services? While there are plenty of ways to pay someone for a job, some forms of payment are more useful than others, and we all get to decide for ourselves what we think is acceptable and what is not worth our time and effort.

A starting artist, for example, might find themselves accepting a variety of payment forms to keep their business going. Pretty much any artist would admit to having provided a service in return for a hot meal or a social media shoutout, anything to get them going and keep them afloat.

Obviously, money, real money, is the best option out there. Getting actual dollars as payment for your services is the best option for anyone. Without money, none of us can pay our rent, our bills, or our food.

When the young artist below, a 19-year-old college student with barely any money to her name, had the option to choose between getting paid for her art in real money and in online game currency, the choice should not have been hard. So when she chose the latter, it obviously shocked some people in her life. She can barely afford food; how could she pass on the opportunity to get actual cash for her art?
