Hello friends
Added 2025-03-25 19:38:50 +0000 UTCSo, there haven’t been any posts for a while. That’s because my artwork started being shared publicly for free, and I’ve been trying to find a way to deal with it.
Let me explain a little. I set the lowest possible price for my tier, but now I’m facing serious problems—I’ve lost 80% of my paying subscribers. But when I visited the site and saw that over a thousand people were looking at my art, I was shocked. It hurt me deeply. Am I really asking for too much for my work? My price is already the lowest...
After this, I just lost the motivation to draw. I gave everything for this. I’ve dedicated my whole life to it. Thanks to your support, I can buy food and sustain myself. Is $3 really that much? Am I not even worthy of that? Tell me… I feel depressed about all this. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong…
The thing is, these people don’t even subscribe to my Patreon. They just steal my drawings by accessing the site’s code.
Now Patreon has introduced a new chats feature, and I want to start posting there. Maybe that will change something. But if things continue like this, I will have to shut down my Patreon.

Another creator I know went through this, and some of the suggestions were posting via discord so that only members who were linked could see the tier'd items. I've been on the free tier (the actual one) so I only ever see what you release to that, including this message. I have upgraded in my shared sadness.
