imagine you start doing nsfw art and you open a patreon, then a discord raid joins in and they all purchase the highest tier subscription, scrape your patreon and upload your art to kemono and their own loras, you withdraw the money and they chargeback the money within a month and now you owe thousands of dollars to patreon and your art is being fapped to for free

Your fortune: You will meet a dark handsome stranger
you can routinely change the password so that any export of this information to kemono will be out of date
I have a pixiv fanbox that does the same thing. But I've never had more than 2 subscribers, and nobody has ever put me on kemono greedy piggy gets outpigged
Your fortune: Excellent Luck >>12713636
wouldn’t a shared drive be even easier to download and share >>12713666
trips of reason >>12713559
Art is made to be seen.
If the art is good, I'll keep the subscription up to see what you do next month.
If you paywall your previous pieces so we can't even see them without purchasing packs on gumroad or whatever, I will turn off the subscription and check Kemono or Gelbooru once in a while and completely forget about compensating you.
Artists for profit are posers, I will deal with them as such. >>12713675
you are an entitled retard who does not deserve good art. Art costs time, talent and practice you faggot thats why you can't do it yourself and instead you have to smack your meat at other people's hard work
Be humble and learn to appreciate >>12713700
it's porn, it's meant to be disposable fapfuel, waste your talent on something less trashy if you want your hard earned recognition
Your fortune: Average Luck >>12713719
>waste your talent on something else
yet you need the fapfuel to exist otherwise you can't shoot ur retard cum out
reconsider your retard logic >>12713721
I have AI now for my visual stimulus needs, the craftsmanship of it is totally irrelevant, my ego doesn't hinge on my patrician taste in hentai, it's just porn, it's dog chow
Your fortune: Godly Luck and to OP you can not avoid your content being scraped one way or the other, however there will always be a portion of coomers that will be willing to support you or be not tech savvy enough to search for the scraped content
Otherwise think of alternative ways to monetize off patreon coomers by also providing alternative models other than just pay to see my content.
why did you withdraw your art from patreon though anyway. thats the ass part IMO you really don't deserve a lick if your best plan for making a living is exploiting coomers porn addiction
Your fortune: Godly Luck >>12713700
It's smut though, not something like a serious production
I can live without it, which is exactly why I'm fine not following the person any longer, and checking up on them every couple months
It's my opinion you'll be more popular by making everything available for posterity anyway, thus leading to more cash from more dedicated fans.
If you obscure your own work, it'sl ike you're telling the audience they don't deserve to see it and also that it wasn't good enough to be seen anyway.
You'll have a small group of paying customers, but as soon as they drop out they'll never come back, and thos who know your drawings from the outside won't care enough about you if they can't see you're worth it. >>12713666
Yes, but it could not be done via kemono, because that can only link to the shared drive, either with no password, or an out of date password.
Instead, the leaker would have to stick their own neck out to upload it somewhere themselves. The leaker would have to maintain a low profile, therefore any leaks would have a very low visibly, and wouldn't be very convenient for anyone trying to find it. Most likely, by the time anyone does see the leaked art, it's already a year old, so there's still plenty of incentive for paying customers. >>12713762
thw only incentive customers need is wanting to support the artist >>12713773
You seem to take issue with art being sold, but I think really you're just angry you're not getting what you want for free >>12713773
This
I pay for artists I want to support, and to get updates and access to the stuff that doesnt make the usual cut, or is in progress
Sometimes I'll support someone on Patreon even though they don't post for months in a row, just because I wanna support them a little
It's never because if i don't follow them I'll miss the opportunity to see what they do, that's insane >>12713777 (trips)
my issue is with coercitive property rights being imposed on non-property
i've bought art countless times, most of the time to support artists when all their shit was already available on sadpanda, same thing with indie games
but you don't care you just want to maximize profits by getting chump change from people like that one guy you were talking to earlier >>12713783
I'm sorry I misjudged you, but your judgement of me isn't fair either
I have over 500 hours of work behind a 3 dollar pay wall, which has never had more than 2 subscribers, I'm not making any profit
And it's just source files and timelapse videos. Maybe if I did "sell out" as some might say, and censored my posted work, and made it more exclusive, I would have made enough money to be able to draw more, but this is what you hate right?
Art is a very tricky market. There are less people willing to support artists than there are artists. >>12713700
A bunch of zero and ones can make better art than most of humans ever will. >>12713815
people really care about their niches, if i were into normalfag stuff maybe i wouldn't have even bothered most of time but i want to see people succeed and be able to work in my niche of interest, even when i didn't find the artist particularly good i'd want him to grow better
i think many people are this way and they need better incentive to connect with artists and that isn't paywalling everything >>12713815
If it's not becoming popular currently then what's the harm in publishing it all for everyone to see?
Surely that's the best way to get people interested in your art, and to lead to more followers/patrons >>12713863
I'd consider it devaluing spam to just post every possible variant of an image I made. People casually scrolling don't max resolution image. And it would be absurd to post source files with every post I make. That kind of extra stuff is only for people who really care.
No, my content is already clearly communicated from what I currently post.
The best way to get more followers is to get more popular, not by begging and spamming, but by quietly improving. I don't like too much attention anyway, especially not while I'm in a country that outlaws my drawings. This is why most popular artists are in Japan or Mexico.
