So apparently, someone or someones has gone around to a ton of furry and furry-related Patreons, pledged at the highest reward tiers with fake accounts, and have leaked all the material within the Patreons on a site that I won't link but you'll probably hear about eventually. One can seem to tell they're fake because they're new, they pay at the highest reward tier, they have no avatar, they use certain kinds of email accounts like hotmail and outlook, and they only pledge to you alone.


And of course this Patreon is also included in that, so that is why the per week amount jumped so high this last month. I haven't gotten these new pledges declined yet, they're still Pending, but I've heard from several people that they've gotten similar situations and they've had those people be Declined, so I'm just waiting for that to happen before I remove them.


Honestly, personally, more mad that the dollars per week amount was artificially increased so high and for the false hope/happiness than the leaks themselves, although I'm sure a lot of other Patreon people are going to be the other way around. Regardless, until Patreon decides to change their system in some manner, I guess I'll just have to contact every single new Patron personally to confirm they're not a bot/throwaway account.

I might have one of these fake patreons myself. I guess he/she thinks they can make more of a profit off my comic than I can. My first comic is just a starter to build an audience so it's posted publicly 2 days after posting and HD for the small amount of patreons I currently have. No real loss for me but for the big time artists this must be a headache....

do you only update your comic here now?
