I have had so many people showing me proudly (assuming I'd be honored) that they used my art on their wallpapers. Artists have the worse financial recognition for the value added to society.

yep
I have mixed feelings about this, of course.
It is an honor, but why why WHY people forget that even though we love art and it is great to do it for a living, it is our work and we should be compensated accordingly?
I have started digital downloads as a product in my shop. Small fees.

Thats is part of our discussion, people assume that artists feel honored when someone uses their work without asking. 

100 $degen
5000 $units
50 $hunt

right click save... at least it keeps the art in their minds. Eventually, people come back for something. I've had clients who started with notecards, then prints until they could afford an original.
Not getting paid is far from ideal, but exposure eventually helps, and if it wasn't for the need to pay bills, we actually do love to have our art to be admired. The only problem is most people assume artists don't need to get $
A very very very twisted historical mindset that has yet to be fixed.
If my bills were taken care of, I'd focus on creating art for the love of art only and for the good impact it can create in the world.

Assuming they’d not buy it, would you rather they right click save and use it or not at all?
