Rant Incoming (Patreon)

I was recently made aware of a website archiving my Patreon content, so here I am trying to collect my thoughts on this instead of sleeping like I should be. I expected this to happen eventually. Content creation is a very difficult and exhausting job. In fact, I have about ten years of experience to evaluate. I have created under many different names, abandoned accounts, and started over many times. This page is only six months young, and my art has already reached so many yaoi enthusiasts, artists, and other content creators. I'm forever grateful to my genuine supporters. It frustrates me to think someone dishonest is mixed in with that crowd.


I am not a full-time content creator, but it's these kinds of things that discourage me from wanting to be. I already dedicate fifty to sixty hours a week on a film production that pays very little. The remaining free time I have is spent creating art and working on personal projects. I've started hiring voice actors and working with writers on my material to improve the quality of my work. As of last night, I'm having second thoughts about all of this.


I've always wanted my page to be affordable because I understand how financially fucked most people are right now. I really don't care if you cancel your pledge and come back later for new content. Hell, feel free to save all my content onto a hard drive. If you paid for it, it's meant for your eyes. Just don't make this content available on a public archive for everyone to see because you believe it's harmless. I have a lot of thinking to do moving forward, and I'm not sure how to go about protecting my content from any more leaks.

UPDATE: For the time being I've removed access to video files and will be replacing them with lower quality videos for Patreon only posts. I'll send out expiring links to the full resolution videos later. Thank you everyone for your understanding!
