Artists like Shiden Akira or Salad seem to release 1 new work every year or even several years, i dont think they can live off that, so what do they do ?

You can use [base64] and [hide64] BBCode to automatically convert your string into Base64. The [base64] tag will give you the encoded string, while the [hide64] tag will conceal your post but will still reveal the Base64 encoded message when unhidden.
The raw text is only available to you, and it will help you to edit your post faster.

It's the other way around. Normal mangakas are moonlighting as ero-manga artists (or someone else's drawing assistant), during their "free time". I mean, they gotta feed themselves while working on their own serializations. It's the same reason why some voice actresses goes by their pen names or choose to go uncredited, when they're voicing lines in an eroge to make ends meet. They're all getting paid a pittance afterall.
I've had my fair share of "hmm, I know that art style" moments, when I read normal mangas and recognized that some authors literally have the same art style with the ero-mangas I've read before. Knowing the kinks of a certain mangaka is definitely an awkward moment. It might be an open secret, but never mention it to their faces. That's in poor taste, even as a bad joke.
Needless to say, kinkshaming is also a major faux pas in our community. "Live and let live" is the golden rule.
