A note about Patreon guidelines changes
Added 2024-03-21 16:10:28 +0000 UTCHey folks!
Some of you may already be aware that patreon has been steadily increasing the restrictions on what types of adult material are allowed on the site. For those of you who haven't heard about that, patreon has released a series of updates to their content policy to limit what's able to be posted, with many artists finding these changes to be incredibly restrictive.
Currently, nothing I post is in conflict with the changes to their policy, but the general consensus among adult artists is that it appears that patreon is steadily moving towards banning 18+ art altogether, as gumroad did very recently.
(brief aside about gumroad, I have relocated all of my artpacks to my [itch.io profile])
In preparation for the possibility that patreon does ban adult work from the site, I have begun the process of mirroring my patreon on [my subscribestar profile]. There are a lot of posts to go through and reupload on subscribestar, so at the moment it's not completely mirrored. However, if you already use subscribestar and prefer it to patreon, in the future you may want to move your pledge there.
For now, my plan is to continue using and posting to patreon as normal until a day comes that patreon does ban adult work. Once I'm finished reuploading my backlog on subscribestar, everything will be posted to both sites.
As always, I'm extremely grateful for your support, especially now when things are becoming increasingly dire for adult artists.

Got it. So no economic incentive to swap early. Thanks.

2024-03-22 16:24:39 +0000 UTCSince I joined patreon relatively early, the patreon cut and subscribestar cut are the same (had I joined patreon later, subscribestar's cut would be smaller)
