Bianca did a mess, and she is gone. (Patreon)

The ever evolving career of the model that was named Bianca in my project, required a clean past.- On the 27th she asked me to abstain from posting more of her pictures in the future, but I was allowed to leave the ones I had posted before in place. I replied it was ok for me because her job was more important than mine.- Few hours later she must have contacted directly Patreon to communicate she wanted to revoke her consent for publication, not only for future posts, but also for the older pictures present on the platform, or at least this is what I imagine, because on the 28th I received the mail from Trust & Safety Team asking for the consent documentation from the model and my page was obscured.- When I asked explanation to Bianca, she candidly replied she just revoked consent, because now she wanted also the older pictures to be taken down, but she had no idea about having jeopardised my main paid platform and the revenue coming from it!!!She could have just asked me in the first place and I would have removed the pictures immediately, just over 40 overall, considering some had been already removed last year.- Fortunately Bianca actively tried to make up for the disaster she created, and contacted Patreon to fix the issue, explaining she had given her consent, but wanted to revoke it now.
Not sure what solved the issue, if the spot on documentation, or the taking down of all the remaining pictures, or the model's clumsy intervention to repair the damage, but my page is back online now.
Anyway, I have learned the lesson:- I can't trust the models (especially the Italian ones).- I can't trust Patreon that blocked the page even before checking the matter, after 10 years of collaboration, and I was unsure I would ever getting it back, even if the major issues with Bianca started from leaks of photos from Patreon itself, something they confessed being unable to fix.
So in the future I will differentiate the my offer on various platform to avoid having all my eggs in one basket.The first Backstage video has been uploaded on Substack, and I have the first paid subscriber with an annual fee.I will also accelerate the implementation of Fansly, for which I have already some consent from the most recent models.
Patreon will still survive as the entry level in the Community, where everybody can dip its toe in the #BramleyApple Project and contribute with a voluntary sum, but I can't guarantee it will last forever, and this crisis was a good example of how delicate it can be.
Tomorrow everything is going to go back to normal, sorry for the inconvenience.
