[Notice] Posting Frequency Reduction & Benefit Changes
Hello, this is Oishi Okaze. I'm reaching out with an important update regarding my posting schedule. I'll keep the conclusion brief and put it at the end, but I'd like to share the context behind this decision first.
I've consistently worked to increase membership benefits over a long period — uploading 6 days a week, with 2 full sets per day, plus irregular animation drops and vault sets (which also require manual review). When I first started this cadence, I believed that offering a high volume of varied content would grow the membership enough to justify the time investment. Over time, however, a few problems have emerged.
1. Promotion has become increasingly difficult
X (Twitter) makes direct promotion difficult, and algorithm changes have significantly reduced organic reach. Since March, Pixiv began excluding accounts that post too frequently from search results — making it nearly impossible for high-volume creators like me to gain new followers through normal discovery.
2. Revenue has stagnated
With promotion harder than ever, my revenue has flatlined or declined for over four months. I genuinely enjoy making NSFW sets, but I also need to see growth proportional to the time I put in. After four months of no progress, I've had to accept that the current approach isn't working.
3. The workload is simply too high
The weekly output volume is enormous. If revenue were higher, I'd consider bringing on help — but it's not at that level yet. I've tried to offset the workload with AI agents and custom tools, but at the end of the day, the volume itself is the core problem.
For these reasons, I've decided to reduce the time I dedicate to Patreon and to start selling content through open and personal marketplaces in parallel. This was not an easy decision — since my last benefit change announcement, I have only ever quietly added more, never reduced anything. That said, even with this change, I believe very few creators offer what I do: near-daily uploads with no time limits, no extra charges, and full access to all content available at your tier from the moment you subscribe. I'll continue to give my best.
New upload schedule
Tuesday – Saturday: 1 set per day | Sunday: 2 sets (request / random drop), same as before

Do you have any plans to add request tier to increase profitability?
I thought about it, but I didn't add it because it seemed like there would be too many things to manage. I might be able to do requests for paid products though
I wish you the best! I've been appreciating your work so far and hope that your new strategies for revenue work. In the mean time, I'll keep my patreon status and hope that I'm still helping you out!
Thank you as always
Preciate the effort ya put into your work, a completely understandable change, hope your new form of revenue works out well
Thank you for your understanding and support
