My work is still being reposted...

So this is the cherry on top for this month, I was informed my patreon only work is still being spread around to other sites...

I have been dealing with this issue for some time but I was a bit hopeful when I started making disclaimers saying "'please do not share outside of the patreon" Or at least don't repost it on other sites.

Sadly though it seems some people don't give a damn. As one of the sites that was shearing everything I post on here... Is still doing it. I sent them an Email and so far no answer back yet...

I know this shouldn't be a surprise to me as since the boom of AI generators. More people seem to see artist like me as lower than scum and that none of my work should be behind a pay wall. Instead I should find an average joe job and have art as a hobby. So people taking my hard work and re posting it shouldn't be a surprise.

But damn it still hurts knowing that someone in my patreon is possibly taking advantage of my patreon. As well as probably not caring how this effects the patreon or me.

It also sucks that I give you all respect by posting as much as can to give you updates, thank you for helping me and my family and making art specifically FOR YOU ALL! But I suppose that's not deserving of respect back.

I'm not sure what to do next at this time to try and protect my work? But I will keep you all updated.

To the person or people who are spreading my patreon stuff around, congratulations you might be the reason this patreon is slowly sinking. As well as why I struggle to pay rent each month and keep the lights on.

I hope it's worth it.

Thank you to the mochis who do respect my wishes and for supporting me. Stay safe.
