Scalping
Added 2025-06-11 15:42:38 +0000 UTCHello everyone. This is a very important update.
It has come into light that my locked patreon content had been recently uploaded to scalping site since november. One of the 41 patrons that joined in november or more have been uploading my content without my permission.
This announcement is to let you know I am now aware of my content being stolen, and I am now looking carefully into the issue for possible suspects who are joined at certain tiers, who could be leaking my content for others to view freely. If I rule out one or more, or find out who exactly it is after my research, you will be promptly banned and removed from this patreon and my social media.
If you truly enjoy someone's work, it is as simple as supporting the comic, and sharing ways to support the comic literally by providing links to the content, and links to ways you can support it with the resources provided by the original source of the content. Further more, i make the content free once it has passed 6 months from publishing.
That being said, if the scalper is still a member of this patreon, I strongly urge you to discontinue spreading my locked content for others to view freely, especially if you are leaking my comic pages early. This effects me and the lifeline of the comic at a very personal level.
my content is uploaded for free once its on its 7th month before published here. Viewing early pages is an option to help the continuation and survival of the comics and storys, not for you to freely share with others. When these things happen, it means I have to reconsider the way i create content, and its not fair to the other patrons who support the tier.
Please, DO NOT SHARE MY LOCKED CONTENT. When it is time, I unlock it myself for everyone else to see.
Please, share the patreon and share the webcomic, not the locked content.
For all the people that are here that are not the subject of this posts, thank you for supporting me and the content i create. You really changed my life.

2025-06-11 21:19:13 +0000 UTCNot sure where else to put this since it's practically a confession from a guilty conscience, but truth to be told, I may have used my patreon session key on such a scalping site at some point several years ago, back when I wasn't subscribed to very many creators and wanted to preserve the posts of someone who hadn't been active in years. It had slipped my mind since then, but it's possible the key is still being actively scraped and I apologize if I turn out to be involved in this. I am deeply sorry if I have caused any locked content leaks from you and other creators I follow in my negligence. I had basically divested my attention from patreon completely for years while pursuing my college degree and only started subscribing to creators again last year now that my spending money has increased. Before seeing this post I had forgotten the incident entirely. Far as I know I had only subscribed to you around December, but I figured honesty mattered here, and even if there were a different source of the leaked content I'd certainly be contributing to the problem in the worst case. I'll dig up my old credentials and take a look when I get back home to my private desktop to see if the import key from back then is still active, and deal with it if necessary.
