Another Update (Patreon)
Content
Sorry to have so many of these updates, but I've figured out the plan for going forward. Erocast works as a temporary home for the removed stuff, but long term I want to have my online presence consolidated (and I've also seen quite a few people who have trouble accessing Erocast). I want to only have to manage the two places I'm already used to, Youtube and Patreon, and on Patreon I have the ability to post things publicly to everyone, including non-Patrons, and I can add a link in my Linktree that goes directly to posts using a particular tag.
Here's the messy part: There's no way to make a public post that won't send out a notification/email when it's made. There's no "unlisted" option, for lack of a better term. And from a long term searchability perspective, I want each audio to have its own clearly titled and tagged post. I'm going to load all of the missing audios into Patreon, tag them appropriately so that they can easily be found/linked to for non-Patrons, and schedule them all to post at once. That's gonna make for a notification spam when it happens. I wish that aspect of it could be avoided, but it can't, so I wanted to at least give warning of when that'll happen and make sure that it's a one-and-done thing.
THE AUDIO DROP (AND SUBSEQUENT NOTIFICATION SPAM) WILL HAPPEN AT 4:00PM PST SEPTEMBER 10TH [four hours from now, at time of posting]
*moving the drop up to coordinate with the video release, sorry. because i'm sure there's gonna be loads of questions in the comments of that vid*

Long story short (too late), it's gonna be a mess for a little bit, I'm sorry for that, but it's gonna get us where we need to be.

Thank you guys so much for your patience through all of this, I know it's been frantic. It's been stressful trying to figure out the best way to handle this, but I know that it's been stressful for you all as well, having the content be in such a tumultuous state. I've been on the internet a long time. I've been a fan of independent-creator content for just as long; I can't tell you how many times I've had videos and audios and stories and content that I loved disappear without warning, and that fucking hurts, and it's scary. I don't take your care for my content lightly. I get so many incredible comments telling me that what I make helps people feel good. That it's a comfort, or an escape, or an outlet. I never could've imagined the impact of this channel in my wildest fucking dreams. I'm so grateful to you all for that. And I'm gonna do whatever I can to keep it going and keep it available to everyone who wants it.
also also, I'm doing a few re-edits of the story centric audios that had to be removed (Gavin's intro and confession, Lovely's power reveal, Aaron's promotion) that are significantly ̶g̶u̶t̶t̶e̶d̶ trimmed down. I'll then repost them, unlisted, into their respective spots in those playlists. It's a poor substitute for the originals, but from a storyline perspective for new viewers, it'll at least make a little more sense.
