I don't think any admin is going to be upset towards og artists

Not admins (except the three problematic instances), users that already complained (very close to the reddit exodus) about gooner art appearing too much in their feed.

For the rest, basically you are telling them to host their own instance and pay for their own storage (which most already do), most don't have the technical knowledge or time to do that, so basically zero incentive to leave where they already are.

The part about the collective might work, but someone would have to get enough of them on board, host where they won't be censored and have a team efficient enough to prevent them getting brigaded (or actually react when it happens).
Also everyone would have to be on board on which software was going to be used between Piefed, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Loops and/or Peertube, specially since not all of them use images only and not everyone does animations.
Then it's just a matter of hopping they get enough exposition so they don't feel like leaving because the reach is not enough to justify giving a part of the comissions to the hosting.
