I'm very sad to hear this news, I feel your pain deeply and want to express my heartfelt sympathy. My current job and the whole industry are becoming less and less prosperous. I'm trying to learn illustration/animation creation, hoping this skill can become a way out for the future or at least give me more career options. But your situation and many other creators' experiences keep telling me: this is also a very difficult path.

thanks for your kind words 😭 yeah, I think we are experiencing the same way in these industries, one the reason I quit my previous job is bcs our art studio was a mess, so I decided to go with this solo career, it was quite a healthy growth tbh, until I have to deal with these kind of problems by myself, kinda stressful

I hope it'll be removed, I noticed it since some ppl started posted my paywalled works, they didn't know the source, and turned out it's already spreading

Damn bro, that f*cking sucks to hear that.... I feel like it's inevitable for something like this to happen to an artist but it doesn't make it any easier to hear about, especially to you of all people Hopefully whoever IS doing it stops, but if not are you thinking of doing anything? I've seen a fair amount of artists lock a lot of their works behind sites or drives that need passwords (that they give to their supporters) instead of just posting it on the Patreon but I'm not sure if that'd even help in this situation

yeah, I'm afraid that leaker is from the sniper class he/she is here, and prolly still active, since I saw varesa post too I just hope this person would understand, the more contents got leaked, the more this account is falling

OkamiFrost

Unfortunate that people do this.... But just know we love you bro! Hope this doesn't discourage you too much. Me and many other people are more than happy to support you and wanna see you continue doing what you like! 🥰👍

In additon to what the other person said, once the month is done for a certain post, lock it to a higher price. For example once June is done, lock any June posts to a $100 tier. This would really deter any re-uploaders. If someone wants a certain past content, make them be a patreon for a certain amount of months, maybe one or two before you allow them to pick a past post that they may want. So if someone new wants to try re-uploading past content they need to pay the extra. I really appreciate that I can access all old $1 posts but it makes it too easy for thieves to just come in and re-upload. Also consider upping your prices so the old $5 tier costs more so that also deters them. These are just some thing I see other artists do to combat re-uploaders and it does work. On those pirate sites, some artists have stopped getting re-uploaded cause it just costs too much money to do so.

hmm, I think this gave me an idea I'll monitor the content leaks, if the leaker is still reposting, I'm gonna use this method by locking the previous monthly maybe some members still can acess thru DM only

Valenthania

aww thanks brother, as always this past 2 months been tough but I'll not go down without a fight of course 😉
