Smutbase uploads announcement (Patreon)

I would like to address a potential future complains in regards to "why you uploading models with the patreon perks for free". A few days ago I received an email from Smutbase admin, saying that many people complained and my way of marketing s too aggressive and I am not allowed to upload limited versions on smutbase to funnel people towards my patreon, so if you wonder why I upload full version of the models for free... welp, because I has been forced to do so, aka "if you want to stay on smutbase, then upload full versions".


Besides I hope that smutbase admins started to enforce these rules on all creators, I don't have an issue with the fact that I received a warning, but I hope that this rule will be enforced equally, as I have seen at least 1 user who is doing the very same thing I received slap on the wrist for, I already contacted admins about that, will see how they react, if you want me I can upload a screenshots of our discussion, I have nothing to hide and as I said I don't have anything against the warning if this is indeed the rule that I broke.


As for how my future models will be monetised, first and foremost it is an early access secondly it is exclusive models, weekly models release will still continue, but starting from now on, patreon members will receive additional 4 models per month (on top of free models that will be available on smutbase on day 1).


I apologise for inconvenience, unfortunately I am forced to make these changes.

So, the main reason I became a patron of yours was for the full release. Did you explain that to them? This potentially will lose you business, not from me, I'm not like that, but I'm sure there are some that (probably in protest) cancel and just wait for the full release on SmutBase. If I were in your shoes, I'd ask if you could either just be a version behind on SmutBase to give your patrons a few months with the newest version, or, hold out one feature, or outfit, or both for your Patrons. Have us vote on which outfit/feature you should withhold and do that. It's not right that they're trying to control your business, how else are you supposed to funnel people here, than with a perk?! Just my 2 cents.

The problem is not that I cannot have "demo on Smutbase, full on patreon", the problem is that I cannot openly advertise the perks that patreon have. See they told me that I can only advertise my patreon in the description... how many users read description? Almost none I would say, If I could advertise patreon exclusive perks on preview images this warning would probably not affect me as I could replase promoting outfits and shape keys with different models, I will keep negotiating my situation with admins, but if I failed... yeah this could essentially kill my business.

Your true supporters will not stop supporting you because of this change. I am all for sharing and caring, together as a community we can do so much more if we collaborate. Just the fact that you take the effort and time to create so many models, and then share them with the community, this alone totally make it all worth supporting you. I will always support artists that contribute as much as you do to the community, as long as I enjoy the content. Take Blender the software as an example, it is totally free and running on support of the community. I will do the same when I start uploading my models and assets. I will give them out for free and in return by doing so hopefully get supporters who want me to continue and keep me motivated! :-)
