Hi folks.

Ok so... don't worry, I'm not going anywhere and things will continue as planned. However, In light to whats going on with patreon, I think I have to address this now, in case something does happen.

As you may or may not have heard, Patreon is cracking down on NSFW content. This isn't new. Been going on for at least a year now.

However, a lot of artist friends of mine are getting axed by patreon recently and it seems that the site is going really hard on porn content now. And it doesn't stop to what you post on their site by the way. If you post something they don't like outside of patreon, they'll shut your page over it. Which... I really can't wrap my head around. This is going too far.

Seems to me like patreon is trying to get rid of all NSFW content creators off their website. That's their choice. (A dumb one I think, but it's their company, they do what they want with it).

So far, I've never had any issues and I hope it stays that way.  But considering what I'm seeing. I think it's no longer a matter of if, but a matter of when. As Patreon just seems to go harder and harder on NSFW creators.

So, I just want to say this now. Should Patreon shut down my page or ask me to censor my content, I'm going to do what other creators are doing and move to Subscribestar.  It's an other website like patreon, but they seem to be MUCH more welcoming to NSFW creators like me.

I'm not moving there now and don't plan to do so unless patreon forces my hand. I hope It never comes to that, but if it does. Yeah, I'll pack up and move my content to an other site that is more open to what I do. If they don't want my content. that's fair. It's their choice. But I have my choice too. And I frankly don't want the stress to having to bend my content to their liking. 

So for now, don't worry about a thing. Who knows, maybe patreon will calm down, and I'll be allowed to keep doing what I'm doing. But considering the direction they are taking. I really don't feel safe here anymore. Just want to be real. I don't want to leave the site, and I hope I wont' have to. But at this point, I'm prepared for anything.

So if one day you see my patreon page content getting shut down. Don't panic. I do have a plan B if that would happen. If for whatever reason Patreon decides it doesn't want me anymore, I'll just move to subscribestar and invite you all to move with me. (Tiers and rewards will be the same, and I will re-post all my old content there).

Alright. There you have it. I just needed to keep you guys informed. Things are not looking good with Patreon. Honestly, I don't feel safe or wanted here anymore. Hopefully they won't take action against me like the others, and I'll be fine. But If not, don't worry, we'll just move to a new home.

So for now, don't worry about it. 

Take care.

Oh no! not another artist fleeing to subshitstar! it may seem like it is similar to Patreon, but the payment methods are absolute bullshit not everyone in the world has Creditcard! a better alternative would be Pixiv Fanbox, they don't care what you do, and still accepts paypal!

but if you really want to emigrate to subshitstar, you have devinitively one "The rubber Devotee" less, not because I don't want to, but because I can't! T_T

I don't want to. But I might have to. And before calling the site Subshitsart and criticizing artists going there. Here is a fact for you. Paypal, that you like so much. Is the primary reason Patreon is cracking down on NSFW creators. Paypal just doesn't want anything to do with artists like us. That's why Subscribestar doesn't allow Paypal. If they did, it would be the same issues. Don't like that your favorite artists are driven out? Paypal is the primary reason. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Want to complain to someone, complain to them. They are the ones that are making things difficult for us. The artists are victims in this matter. I love paypal as well, their services are amazing. But Paypall, doesn't love me.

I don't want to migrate anyways, but If patreon decides one day that it wants to censor my content, then I will have no other choice. That's the way it is. For now, calm down. I'm not going anywhere unless I have to. We're not there and hopefully nothing happens. But at this point, I'm preparing myself for anything.

Also, IF. And I do mean. IF! I'm forced to move to subscribestar. My Gumroad page will still be active. So you might still be able to get most of my content there, just later. But in case. I'm not going anywhere. So chill. This is just "worst case scenario".

I didn't want to offend anyone, it's just extremely frustrating that more and more condent is slipping through my fingers! it wouldn't really bother me, but Subscriptstar doesn't even offer a Paysafe card as a payment method, even direct debit would be better. they just stick to a payment method that only 40% of the world have access to. and as I said there are still also some who have switched to Pixiv Fanbox and are happy there!: P

Again, you're overreacting. I don't want to go anywhere. If Patreon leaves me be, then I have no reason to leave. I like patreon, and I prefer to stay here. Do you really think I want to loose income by moving sites? I don't, and neither did the artists that were forced out. As long as Patreon allows me here, I ll stay. But Looking at how many of my fellow creators are falling like flies, I have to be prepared for any scenario. I hope I can stay here and nothing changes. I really do. I have nothing against patreon and I don't want to leave. But If they crack me down. I will have no other options. For now, I've never had any issues with them. Maybe it will stay this way. It mights. So for now, don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. But looking at what's happening to other artists. I'm bracing myself for anything. Also yes, Pixiv is also an other alternative I'm considering. For now. Don't worry.

Thanks for the heads up ! I hope they'll leave you be. Take care !

There are plenty of ways to stay safe while paying on the internet now. You can buy a prepaid credit/debit card and refill it with funds. Buy bitcoin and pay that way. Paypal is easy, but they don't like adult content creators. They're trying to maximize profits and to be blunt the people that like this content and are willing to say it publicly don't outnumber the people that don't like this sort of content.

Tonk

So far, they never caused me any trouble. And I don't think my content goes against their TSA. But with so many content creators I know getting the axe, I'm just getting prepared for a plan B, just in case.

That sounds very bad! For the start of Patreon NSFW was welcome, to become big, but now Patreon get to big and all NSFW will be killed=(
