Third Party Site Reposting (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I've been heavily debating about posting this, but it's something that has been bugging me for quite a while now and I feel the need to get it out there. I apologize as this is gonna be more of a vent.

I'm aware that someone here has been leaking Patreon content on a third party website ( don't ask what the site is, I'm not gonna give it out). It's been going on for a while and while I manage to kick the last culprit out thanks to the help of fellow artists, I'm afraid it has resumed again with the latest content- including early access pages, concepts, and even patron exclusive stuff. This has admittedly caused me to become heavily unmotivated the more content has been getting leaked. I had a lot of plans for side stories that were gonna be patron exclusive for a while and I'm getting closer to finishing Jua's Gratitude but now I am just wondering what's even the point of posting it here if it's just gonna get leaked.There's nothing I can really do as the site itself refuses to remove anything that is posted there and it's not like I have the time or the money to have some sort of legal battle going on. It all seems hopeless and pointless.

I'm a freelance artist and Patreon is a heavy chunk of my income, and all it's doing is making it harder for me to live, and thus making it harder to produce the very content that whoever is doing feels worthy enough to get leaked. Because at this point, why would anyone support me if they can just go to some site and get all of the stuff for free, right? I'm not some really huge hotshot where some leaks doesn't affect me at all. I'm starting to see the effects, but I won't get into that because it would definitely get into self pitying territory. If whoever is doing this is reading this right now, shame on you.

To those who are here to legit support me and enjoy the content I produce at the same time, I thank you so much throughout all of this. While I'm feeling down and lowkey dreading to post here, I won't stop as it won't be fair to those who are paying to see this content and receive their rewards. All I can do is really muscle through this.

Thank you so much for reading.
