"Any reason this cropped preview of a paid reward was approved except „the uploader is my friend“?"
The "whoops" above was because I usually try to avoid uploading the cropped alternate versions so her artist page mainly consists of full or only slightly cropped rather than landscape-cropped posts - it's a personal thing so there's not too many crops while scrolling qiandaiyiyu. That being said, most of her crops do have some variance to the base post and are worth having to an extent.
Besides qiandaiyiyu, there are other posts where the crop is the only version we're able to get and it's better to have that than nothing at all - check out cropped paid_reward_available status:active. This being approved has nothing to do with me being friendly with the approver - they don't give me free passes simply because we're amiable. Notice how some of my accidental duplicates of their favourite character are not approved.
tl;dr Check out cropped paid_reward_available status:active. Not all crops are bad and it definitely has nothing to do with the fact that we aren't hostile to each other over another silly stuff like an average Danbooru commenter. Hope this helps.
