I found a copy of my Highwind Reward on R34 (Patreon)

Hey Wayfies! Sooo I'm just dropping by to talk about this. I was restless and started googling myself... and lo and behold I found that someone uploaded the Sora x Wasabi Highwind Reward on R34. Now, I don't know how R34 works if it's run by bots or someone really took the time to download my art and repost it.. nevertheless this is not okay.

I want to make it a general rule and request that you guys don't repost my works. Especially the ones here that are tagged "exclusive". Me as an artist spends a lot of time producing these fan arts to you all as a thank you for your support. Reposting will inevitably devalue my works and literally hurts me since I kinda rely on some of my page earnings for my day to day. (Not to mention the risk of the works being put in Ai training alogrithm) Reposting Exclusives is also not okay cause it makes it truly unfair to those who stick around here, offering hard earned money to get access to my works. So please please please let's be fair and help each other out.I'm just a small artist but I like the work I do here and I hope you guys too. Patreon allows downloads of arts here so there's no way for me to regulate who gets the files of my arts, and I have always trusted you guys that if you ever made copies it would be for your personal offline archive.Attached here is the Stats of the uploader. I also checked what else they uploaded and saw that they uploaded other arts from other artists as well. Not sure if those were exclusives but nevertheless if they were, it really is not okay to upload without permission. So if you're here, I humbly ask you take down my work and others from R34 .

Anyways, I hope you all understand where I'm coming from. I really do enjoy making arts and sharing them here and making a lil bit of income from it. I want to keep doing this as long as I am able... For me to continue doing this, boundaries must be respected. So far you guys have been great, amazing even! and I'm grateful. I'm just sad something like this has happened to my page. Have a great weekend everyone! As always, thank you for the support and I'll see you all in the next one!
