I Need Your Feedback: Old Audios Going Public? (Poll)

So after what happened with my last Youtube ASMR video wrongly being taken down for nudity and explicit sexual content cited at a part of the video that was silent, and the rest of the video was fully SFW, I've been doing some thinking (and a lot of panicking) about where else I could post my audios in case the worst happens.
Some people suggested posting more on Reddit. I used to post my public NSFW audios on Reddit years ago, and they did well over there, and I didn't realise how many of you came over from Reddit. The thing is... to use Reddit in the UK due to our new internet laws means I have to give Reddit my ID or credit card or face scan in order to be allowed on Reddit. And that... is scary. So, if I'm going to take that chance, I want it to be worth it. But I don't know where on Reddit I can post SFW audios, so if anyone knows any SFW audio roleplay subreddits that would be very helpful. And I can't post anything to GWA again because I don't have any public NSFW audios... unless... I was talking about this on stream today, and what if I started making old Patreon exclusive NSFW audios... public? What if once or twice a month on Reddit/Soundgasm I released a 2+ year old audio. The fledgling tier would still give you two exclusive audios every month, but you'd only get that exclusivity on some of the audios for 2 years and forever on other audios. It's either that or have one NSFW a month be public and the other be private and I just think that risks too much of my income as most of you pay for two exclusive ones. My income and life depends on the money I get from the fledgling NSFW audio tier here and I don't want to make too many audios public and risk people not wanting to join any more if they feel they can get the audios for free. But if it's older audios going public then hopefully people would still want to join for the new ones (that would be better quality as I've improved over time), the chance to have the new audios based on their personal request, and 2+ year early access. I also could, if I find scripts I like, participate in script fills on GWA (reading out NSFW scripts written by others, these would be public on Reddit/Soundgasm and shared on Patreon)? Reddit was a place that got me a lot more listeners, though I'm not sure how many hopped over from Reddit and came to Youtube/Patreon/etc as GWA and other subreddits don't allow self-promo so I cannot in any posts on there mention that I have a Patreon or commissions, I'd just have to put that information in my bio and hope people click on my username and look at my profile.
Is that fair? To have some of the old audios (as in 2+ years old, so as of this post audios from December 2023 and earlier) go public even though people paid for access to them here? Would you keep your membership if I did this? Would you still re-join or pay for the fledgling tier for the first time even if in two years those audios might be public?
