No more Gumroad.

Very sad news that was inevitable and I did see it coming. Due to the new payment processor policies on NSFW content they have been cracking down on artists such as myself and my account on Gumroad, as of today, is suspended.
So I will look for a different place to put up previous Patreon packs! I have my sights on Itchi.io right now but I may also look at pixiv.
I'll let you guys know when I've set up a new place.
Very sad news indeed since I've used Gumroad since 2016 ): RIP.

Not calling you a liar to be clear but it shows on my bank records and through my Gmail. But anyways, hope to see your packs soon, love your art style, and have a great day
MLeth
Really? In my audience list you're obviously pledged but you haven't been charged yet so that's weird!
Bakapotato-kun
For me personally it charged me when I joined the membership immediately. And that was less than a week ago
MLeth
No it's a good question! The new Patreon plan is that patrons DO get charged as soon as they join so that could work if I went over to that new plan. I'm however still in the old plan which, as mentioned, means patrons only pay if they stay until the end of the month! I just find this old plan works better for me and my workflow <3

I see, sorry bout the ignorance. Really like your work and am excited to see what you decide
MLeth
Posting on the feed here means that anyone can just jump in and get the images and get out before they get charged at the end of the month hehe I have been looking into a new tier that gives access to all previous packs though but so far I haven't figured out a good way of doing it!
Bakapotato-kun
I'm definitely out of the loop but why couldn't you post them here?
MLeth
Unless you're willing to only draw children's books or something

you should do Itchi.io. Pixiv has restrictions that often forces uploaders to censor their content, and is also under the same payment processor umbrella as gumroad so I would not be surprised if they suffer the same fate eventually

And a lot of this is still the aftereffects of SESTA/FOSTA being written by a bunch of legal illiterates

Just more proof that money and art don't really mix well.

Yeah that sucks, Igot hit with the same issue recently. I'll check Itchi.io, but Justforfans seems to be an other alternative too?
Sean
Well that's good to hear, at least 👍
MLeth
I’ll put them on the new site I end up using! So they won’t be lost hehe
Sean
Didn't you have a couple exclusive packs on there, as well? What's going to happen with those?
MLeth
Yeah, although to be fair they're beholden to the payment processors which are the biggest culprits here ):
Yuki Alaunus
Worked so well for tumblr… it’s amazing how many companies will just destroy themselves
MLeth
Haha, right? They do to be fair have a lot of good artists on there selling all kinds of things such as tutorials, brushes and stuff like that which is neat. But yeah NSFW is/was probably a very big portion.
Richard Hardslab
I have to wonder what they still sell there then…
MLeth
Thanks so much! Yeah it's a bit of a hassle but we'll find a way to move forward!
Kiz
Love your art. You draw such cuties. Sorry payment processors are becoming anti-nsfw
MLeth
Cheers! I'll make it work B)
MLeth
Thank you! Yeah about 8 years.. So it does hit me hard in that way hehe. But I suppose it's just a sign that I shouldn't keep all my eggs in one basket haha
Dragonia Crimson
I'm sorry to hear that lass

Gumroad trying it's best to run itself into the ground. You had a good run there, your fans will still follow you no matter where you migrate to next.
