as mentioned before , I'm looking into restructuring the post system for the 20$tier with the main reason being reducing piracy potential. One of the system in question being Sakimichan's . How it basically works in my head right now : 

Patreon will now only host preview images with no files attached . The main file site now will be Gumroad. At the end of each month, all of those in the Tier AT THAT POINT IN TIME will receive a redeem code for the purchase post that contains all the files of the works THAT IS IN THAT MONTH only. This code and the post will be available until the next batch is release, after it will be replaced by individual purchase posts of each of the painting 

Bascially , very much similar to Sakimchan's term system  

And addition I can add to this is a rotating redeem code for the individual posts that will accompanied with the tier , so in theory if you're still in the 20$tier, and you missed the monthly post, you can still get the files you wanted via the individual posts with no extra cost. 

Please tell me what you guys think. !! and pleas feel free to suggest anything else !.

Thank you

Could work, say i drop my patreon (fat chance, love your work) and pick it up a few months down the track will i still have access to the files from when my pledge ends to when I pick it back up (example: drop it between October and pick it up in January)

I wish you good luck with this idea. I've noticed many artists no longer having items on Patreon itself due to leaks, so they use Gumroad or other sites for downloads.

Wait I'm confused. So you are not going to post your work here anymore and instead you'll give us discount codes so we have buy your art on gumroad?

I don't mean to come off as entitled but, this seems like a pretty bad idea. I think you're gonna loose alot of money in the long run. It makes it to hard for the average person to conveniantly access your work. Also (this is just me) I don't feel comfortable trusting my personal information with a website I'm not familiar with. I also can't figure out were to punch in the discount code.

I wish you luck. It’s sad you have to go through all of this.

If a lot of people are exploiting your current system, I support these changes 100%. Because changes must happen if the circumstances change. But it is sad, that a new patreon isn't up to date with your NSFW artwork anymore. That's why I dislike sakimis system and like your current system. It should be possible to get ALL artwork without bankrupting yourself. You could do something like: Be a 20$ patreon for a year and receive all nfsw artwork. That reduces piracy, who would wait a year to pirate, and makes your NSFW artwork more accessible. This also would reward loyal subscribers.

Will this really stop the leaks though? I mean they're already in the $20 tier right?
