Happy new year! + sad mini update
Like mentioned in the title, happy new year to you all, and thank you for the continued support =)
I have a little update beneath, that has saddened me greatly.
Out of 800+ patrons, it is 1 person who has decided to fuck me over by uploading all my exclusives on a public website (with loots of popup ads) unfortunately I am powerless to do anything about this, as the owner of said website, has ignored my email so far. I am keeping my hopes up though, that they will remove these uploads. but lets be honest. it is 50+ animations that they can earn a lot of money on, due to the sheer amount of ads they have on their website. So all I can really do now is to say thank you to all of you who have kept my work private, and not uploaded it online.
About 2/3 of my patrons pledge 2 dollar continually for months, however 1/3 of my patrons come and go depending on what exclusive animation / swap I put out for patrons to enjoy. This means that I am extremly dependant on trusting my patrons, that you do not upload my exclusives online for people to view for free. I strongly prefer having all my content viewable for 2 dollar, and no ads on my website. I like it this way, because more people can afford watching my content, without it being a strain on their income. So literally ALL of my content is viewable for 2 dollar a month, which also makes me highly dependant on MANY people giving me 2 dollar each.
Know that I fully support that people pledge 2 dollar to me once, and download all my exclusives to their pc, and never pledge to me again. That is 100% fine with me. However, please dont upload them online. By doing so, you are literally killing 1 third of my income. You might be making sure that people who dont want to pay me get some free porn to fap to, but by killing off my earnings, you are making sure that I have to get a second income, which means I will be producing waayyy less content in the long run.
I realice this might seem to you like you are giving the people what they deserve (free content), but I am not a big company, I dont earn millions. I use my patreon money majorly to pay for my school fees. Some ofc go to food, and goods, but as I unfortunately had poor grades in school I have to pay myself into schools. On top of that, I live in a country where the type of school I need, means I have to live in another city + pay for the school, or go on an internet school, and pay for the school, which makes me really dependent on my patreon income, to pay down my student loans.
I have been blessed to be able to do 3d as a fulltime job, and I hope that I can keep doing so for a few years to come, but like mentioned it is dependent on my exclusive content actually staying exclusive.
