Patreon Updates & WIP
🕑 Added 2024-03-20 23:23:17 +0000 UTCHey all, I know there's been a fire storm lately with Patreon and Gumroad cracking down on NSFW content and taking down Creators, so I wanted to touch down with my thoughts and some of the things I'm planning.
A quick aside, I'm rebranding my logo and a WIP of the Rogue one off for this month.
First off, is Patreon and their crackdown on NSFW content. I read their Terms of Service whenever I get a notification of an update and I feel I keep myself safely within its NSFW guidelines. The bondage and DID art community is a very precarious one and I keep events like this in mind, which was what lead to my initial change in off-site content delivery a couple years ago.
I have not received any warnings from either Patreon or Gumroad regarding any of the crackdowns happening to other Creators. I emphasize, my art is 100% fictional, all characters displayed are 18+ or older, and it's all a work of combined fantasy and parody. This is the main reason why my variants are delivered and viewed off-site. I plan to keep posting content on Patreon the way I have been until I'm warned otherwise by the Patreon Staff. But to not risk their ire, I will keep the more intense pieces to our Discord.
Which leads to my second point, if you are in the Variant Tier, I strongly recommend that you join us in the Discord server if you want to see the rotating content at hand and their variants. You are also kept up to date as to what I'm working on, plan to work on, and the others talk about neat stuff on there from time to time. You don't have to be an active contributor, but it's the best way to see content.
I am starting to work on my own website with its own Discord server for 18+ content to transition away from Patreon and Gumroad, as both sites take a very sizeable portion out of every transaction. I keep a manual log of subscribers who cycle in and out every month, so in the event Patreon nukes everything, people who sub yearly and those in commission tiers aren't screwed out of anything.
I have no plans on stopping. I love what I do, and I feel I'm getting better and better at it. Commissions are still my bread and butter, Patreon and Gumroad are just the facilitators of access. Cyber doormen, as it were. If you're already in the Discord server, you don't have to worry about much.
As always, I thank each and every one of you for your continued support!
PS: Also it's the time of the month were we can start setting up the poll, so feel free to start nominating!
