I wanted to ask why you don't have a character named Zibai?

I don’t think this is a good change, and I hope you can seriously reconsider it. First, when I subscribed, there was no notice saying that my tier would only receive around 70 images. Changing the rules after people have already paid, and then asking them to upgrade in order to see the full set, does not feel fair. Second, even if you want to change the tier structure, I think it should start from next month, not be applied directly at the end of the current month. Applying it immediately feels unfair to existing subscribers who paid under the original expectations. Third, higher tiers already had extra benefits before, such as videos. That already worked as a reason to upgrade. Splitting the image set itself and making paying members unable to see the complete set feels like missing the point. For me, the core value of subscribing is being able to support your work and enjoy the complete image set. If even paid members cannot access the full content, then the value of the membership becomes much lower. I hope you will think carefully about this. I believe the tier system should encourage people to upgrade through extra bonuses, not by taking away content that subscribers originally expected to receive.

Although I understand that you've decided to stop making videos and instead focus all of your time on creating more content for your fans, I respect that decision. However, I don't think this should come at the cost of reducing the benefits that existing subscribers already have. If videos are no longer part of the higher tiers, then I believe the better approach would be to add new exclusive benefits for higher-tier members, rather than taking away part of the image sets from lower tiers. These are two completely different approaches. Adding new benefits gives people a positive reason to upgrade. Reducing existing benefits, on the other hand, makes long-time supporters feel like they're losing something they originally paid for. To be honest, this change is very disappointing and makes me question whether it's worth continuing my subscription. I believe many existing subscribers will feel the same way. People support your work because they enjoy it, not because they expect to pay more just to access content that used to be included.

Hi! I’ll start with a quick summary, because I know many people don’t read the full post and may only keep the first part in mind. Old format: around 10–15 sets per month, usually 70–90 images per set, available for all tiers. New format: 20+ sets per month, still around 70–90 images per normal set for all tiers, while higher tiers will receive extra content and extended versions with around 110+ images. I understand your point and why you feel upset, but I think there has been a misunderstanding. I didn’t want to make another post because I felt the changes were already clear, and I also didn’t want to keep spamming everyone with announcements. But maybe, since you are new, it wasn’t that obvious, and maybe more people understood it the same way. So I’ll make another post to explain everything better. Still, I want to reply to you directly here. You said that the better approach would be to add new exclusive benefits for higher-tier members, rather than taking away part of the image sets from lower tiers. And that is exactly what I’m trying to do. I’m not reducing the normal sets for lower tiers. They will still receive the same kind of sets as before, usually around 70–90 images. The difference is that now I will create extra content on top of those sets for higher tiers. For example, take the latest beach set I posted. That was an old request, made before the new changes. It has around 90 images, just like most of my normal sets, which are usually around 70–90 images. That is why I wrote 70+ images in the tiers. I never promised one fixed number for every set. With the new format, that same kind of set would still be available normally for lower tiers with around 70–90 images. The extra work would be added only for higher tiers, making the extended version around 110–120 images. So if the original set had 90 images, and lower tiers still receive those same 90 images, then I’m not taking content away from them. I’m simply adding extra content for higher tiers. That is why I think this was more of a misunderstanding than an actual reduction of benefits. Also, when I say I’m adding more content for everyone, I mean it very literally. Before, I was stuck with certain characters, animations, and delays from my real-life work. My idea was always to upload one set every other day, but sometimes I got delayed and ended up posting every three days. So by the end of the month, there were usually around 10–15 sets. With the new format, I’ll be able to keep a better schedule and upload 20 or more sets per month. That means every tier receives more content than before. I understand that the announcement may not have been clear enough, and I’ll explain it better in a new post. But I want to make it clear: lower tiers are not losing the normal sets. Higher tiers are simply getting extra content on top of them.

I don't see any problems, nothing has changed, it's just that the number of images for higher levels has increased, and the video content was underdeveloped anyway and isn't really needed by anyone.

Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. I understand your idea much better now, but I still have a few concerns. First, the Patreon upgrade system itself is a problem. For example, if I subscribed to a lower tier on June 2nd and wanted to upgrade on July 1st, Patreon only lets me pay the difference until July 2nd. Then I have to pay for the higher tier again almost immediately. I can't simply start a new monthly subscription from the day I upgrade. That makes upgrading feel very poor value, and I honestly don't understand why Patreon doesn't allow a fresh billing cycle. Because of this, many people may simply choose not to upgrade at all. Second, if the lower tier is going to receive fewer images than the higher tier, then I at least hope the story remains complete. I don't mind if higher tiers receive extra bonus images, alternate versions, or additional content, but I don't think the main story should be incomplete for lower-tier subscribers. If I can't see the complete story, then I honestly don't have much motivation to subscribe. For me, the story is the core of the content. Extra images can be a premium bonus, but the main experience should still feel complete. I think higher tiers should be rewarded with additional value, not by making the lower tiers feel incomplete. That approach would encourage more people to upgrade while also keeping existing subscribers happy. Thank you again for listening to everyone's feedback. I hope you'll continue considering these concerns before finalizing the new format.

I don't think it's accurate to say that "nothing has changed." From the perspective of lower-tier subscribers, something has clearly changed—we're now receiving less content relative to higher tiers than before. The issue isn't whether higher tiers get more. Most of us actually support rewarding higher-paying members. The problem is that this was achieved by reducing the value of lower tiers instead of adding new benefits to higher tiers. Also, whether the videos were popular or not is irrelevant. If they weren't worth the time, removing them is understandable. But removing videos shouldn't become the reason to reduce image access for existing subscribers. A better solution would be to keep the current image access for lower tiers while giving higher tiers additional exclusive content. That rewards people who pay more without making existing supporters feel like they're losing value . People don't usually complain because others receive more. They complain because they themselves receive less than what they originally subscribed for. Those are two completely different things.

I still don’t fully understand your point, so I’ll make a poll to see the general opinion. If people vote to keep the old structure, that’s okay. Lower tiers will keep the old format: around 15 posts per month with the same amount of images as before. Nothing would change for the $3 and $5 tiers. Higher tiers would then receive 20+ posts per month, plus extra images. Is that what you mean? In that case, nothing would be changed for the lower tiers. But please keep in mind that if I go back to posting for lower tiers only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I don’t want people asking later why they didn’t receive the sets from Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday.
