Heya Sam
Holy shit! How are you doing? I suddenly feel ancient lol
I'm alright, just wandered into the past for a bit. Your art has really changed!
I was on Gaia, ended up on dA, glad you're still at it ^__^
How have you been? How's the kid(s)?
Hey Onyxsis, listen, i just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px46aTSuX2g If you have a Patreon too, you might want to check this out. Potentially you might have to find a new payment service.
Thanks man! I've been kind of keeping up with it (Patreon trying to sue the supporters bringing arbitration, trying to change their TOS after the fact was pretty messed up). I still have the patreon but on all the other sites I've been promoting only the subscribestar as I'm actively trying to grow it. Unfortunately just for having the patreon people will actively go google it because they prefer it as an established platform. I mostly keep it for the people already using it but I have warned them all via email before that its probably only a matter of time before I get kicked. I've done pretty much all I can do in the event I get it taken away. I lean pretty left politically but I have been cackling over Patreon getting skewered over arbitration. I think in the long term they will win, but just for getting shafted by having to pay the fees according to their own rules is just... *chef kiss*
Its part of the reason I'm moving away from DA as well. On Pixiv, HF, Reddit and Baarag I don't have to worry about "sjw"s trying to sink me. I've had people report me on DA before and I don't think they will think twice about hurting my ability to make money even if that's feeding my family.
I really appreciate the heads up though, you're a good egg :>
I´m pretty much a true centrist, having both values that are on either the left and the right, but here in DA are a lot of rather left leaning folks, which isn´t really much of a surprise, especially artists lean left.
When i saw Tims video i knew all i could do about it is to give as much artists i follow here a heads-up, i worked almost 4 hours through my watchlist writing the message to everyone who might have a Patreon account.
All i can do now is hope that IF Patreon goes down they won´t suffer as badly as if i hadn´t given them the warning.
More is beyond my capacity.
Since you mention it, are you also on e-hentai?
I have found your Animal Farm work there, but i don´t know whether that´s your own account or someone else.
