Poll: Posting Method of Hi-Res files (Patreon)

Now that some time has passed, I wanted to get your opinion on the new posting method of the hi-res versions of pictures.

Until last year, I always attached the hi-res files to each individual post, meaning that people would get it easily when it was posted, but for those who wanted to go back, it would be more difficult because it meant they would have to go through each individual post.

Since January this year I am now sending out links on the first of each month to an archive where all new hi-res versions are being uploaded. They are easily accessible in one place, with the caveat that if you only just subscribed you would need to wait for the first of each month.

I would like to hear your opinion on which method you preferred, or if I should maybe try a different approach, like making the files available through the archive but also under each post.

My main concern is piracy & security. Because a lot of Patreon works are shared through other sites, it's easier to grab files that are directly posted here. It's really disheartening to see my content posted otherwise freely. But I have the feeling that my Patreon is bleeding out a little, so maybe this new method isn't the right way to go. Please let me kow in the comments what you think!
