Hello my dear supporters and friends,

For the past five days, I've been uploading the daily content to MEGA while showing a harmless preview here.

The reason for this was the stricter rules imposed by Patreon, and you can find the post explaining this at this link.

Since I still consider the option with MEGA as an experiment, I would like to know from you what you think after the first 5 days. Did the links work? Were there any problems with downloading, or did everything go smoothly?

Therefore, in this survey, I'm only asking you two questions: Are you satisfied, or are you not satisfied? You are welcome to write anything else as a comment under this post.

Yours Amaz2k12/ Jim

So far I haven't had any difficulty with opening files and reading the content it's been a smooth buy interesting transition

Long story short: I rather put up with a bit of incidence and have you feel safe and secure staying on Patreon then easier and loose you. The experience quality varies on platform: - For viewing on a phone/tablet in the Patreon app without the mega app sucks. It’s not easy to quickly view and read and basically forces me to download to view decently. Which is mostly just extra time and steps. - Viewing in a web browser on phone or tablet is better and less clicks. However at least on iPhone clicking download tries to open in other apps and requires more menus for some weird reason. (Easier to download the PDF) - on a PC I haven’t ran into any issues it is large enough and easy enough to view/read and move on. I wish I had a better solution for you. But sadly minus doing something extreme there is no easy way to do this that I have seen. Also you already reviewed most of the idea other artists I follow do. Each has a pro and con. If I see or think of anything better I’ll follow up. If this makes you feel safer and helps keep you on the platform and no one else has a huge issue with it I’m fine with this being the new norm. Keep up the awesome work and can’t wait to see more addiction to bimbohood.

While using Mega has been pretty hassle free for me, I find it annoying that I need to keep going farther and farther back to get the lead up to that point. I much preferred the pdf attached that had the whole story.

I thank you for the analysis. Hm, the phone variant, you're right about that. Would it be alternatively helpful to use a Discord server, or rather upload there, to easily access the data?

Amaz2k12

Thank you for your words. I'm reassured that the mega links are working for you. As for your review, I have to ask: you write that you'd rather have the whole story, do you mean the fully finished comic or the updated comic of the ongoing story?

Well, it be hard to know how other people would see it but I use discord for a lot of things. It’s great to chat, and it’s great to see random things. HOWEVER it’s horrible for “indexing” which is basically “oh I want to find the image that had (this) in it” you basically can be SOL unless you know what chat it was in or know what date it was posted. So it can make it hard to view any content that isn’t right in front of you. However I would say that it would be easier to view the images for the comic pages. And be easier to get notifications for posts depending on how you do it. I would think it be trickier for you to do a PDF on discord as you would need to pay their monthly fee to upload files larger than a certain size. And for you I would worry about the extra work that would be needed to “maintain” the discord server/community. Wouldn’t want that draining you from your work.

Previously you would have a pdf of the story so far, that was the main way I viewed the content. It was a one click stop so I could get the run up to the new content

I am very pleased that the MEGA link works well :)

Amaz2k12

That's true. I'm currently still busy with planning for Discord. It's already leaning towards a paid model simply because my works are too large for free data transfer, both in terms of data size and image resolution. I think to have some kind of index, it would make sense to set up channels per level 2. One for chatting, the others where only data can be uploaded and downloaded, but no chatting would be possible.

Amaz2k12

That's correct. Personally, I would prefer to keep this direct approach as it is, as I'm not a fan of too many paths myself. However, as already described, this approach has become necessary. You can read why this is the case in the original post; you'll find the link to the article there. Therefore, MEGA is still an experiment for me to see how this option is received by you, whether there are or have been any problems, and to analyze which other paths I can explore.
