Reward Distribution Changes
🕑 Added 2020-11-01 12:48:35 +0000 UTCEDIT: After considering feedback, I have updated the below information!
Hi, all!
As of this month, there will be changes in the way rewards are distributed. I will no longer be posting anything considered a patron reward directly onto Patreon and moving to a model in line with other creators. Any picture posted here going forward will be considered the "public" version and will be either scaled down, thumbnailed or watermarked. That said, I will not be deleting anything already here.
Going forward, all rewards (current and historical) will be hosted externally on a cloud server, the links and passwords to which will change on a monthly basis. Links and passwords will be distributed via Discord and Patreon message on or around the 6th of each calendar month to all active patrons. Content will be added to the server as it's posted, to ensure no delays in people being able to access it.
This keeps all content in one place for people to access at any time and is arguably better than scrolling through months worth of posts!
For this month:
- Content will be posted here in low resolution as per above.
- As this month's links and passwords have already been distributed, any new patrons this month can use the Saki bot on the Discord server to request the access details at any time (so link your account if you haven't already!).
- Links and passwords will update in December, and be distributed via the Saki bot on Discord and also by Patron message on or around the 6th December, once payments have been verified/completed.
My apologies for any inconvenience that this causes. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Don't worry, that won't change. I've updated the post to reflect the plan, but all of my historical stuff will be available for new patrons as it always has been. Arguably, this new system will work better for everyone, including myself, from an admin standpoint. :)

On one hand, I'm glad that we'll have one place to download your pics rather than going through the slow loading UI of patreon, but I'm just afraid that new patrons won't get to see your awesome previous work which will cause them to seek the pirates for it.

I really hope this works as intended , just thinking about the issue makes me mad at the pirates. You got my full support on this pantsu!

I appreciate that, however I'm bringing it in line with other creators because the actions of the minority are starting to have an impact on me financially and I need to take steps to mitigate my loss of earnings. That includes not posting content here so that it isn't literally cut and paste onto another website. My goodwill and willingness to turn a blind eye to the issue has been spent at this point, and the alternative is that I simply stop what I'm doing.

I just wonder how this new system is better than the one we already had. Isn't that just reinforcing the paywall ?

You do what you need to do to protect your art.
