We need to talk...
Added 2023-07-31 00:17:57 +0000 UTCThe leaks that have been happening are not going unseen. I've seen leaks happen not even a day since we post our comic. I've also seen a website mirror everything I post here on Patreon, even links, so non-subs can also download everything you can. One creator (over 80k followers) even posted our whole comic on Twitter.
So starting from now on, links to the full comic (both 20th and 5th) will be sent via Patreon message. Meaning, only those who are subbed on the posting date will get access to it, for free at least.
This is the last thing I wanna do. I intended my content to be accessible any time you subscribe or choose to come back, but these leakers leave me no choice but to put up extra measures. Please understand that beyond protecting my livelihood, I am also protecting the content you pay for. I strive to give you the best content I can manage, and I will do what needs to be done so you don't feel cheated.
I guess this goes without saying, but please do not post my non-public content stuff anywhere. Leakers not only devaluate artists' efforts but also our means to survive.
I truly appreciate having you here. You make these stories possible by supporting this creator. So, thank you so so much.
PS. Don't hesitate to message me anytime.

2023-08-05 23:48:06 +0000 UTCI know, but myreadingmanga is still doing that & they won't even listen to us.๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ We're still fighting to stop that site before it cheats more of the artists' new comics & updates. I sincerely hope it will be banished someday soon or later. ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป

2023-08-01 20:39:08 +0000 UTCI want to support more artists like Creedo and Gabo here on Patreon. Any other creators this community recommends? My favorite are comic strips. Thank you all.

2023-08-01 11:42:52 +0000 UTCI do feel sympathy for you, all the time and effort you put in for the work you've done and someone comes along and leaks it to some secondary site. While I do feel sorry, it's because of those leaks that by body reacted and I became interested in your work and thank you for having a Gumroad account "before becoming Patreon member". You could think of me as a collector of "fine arts/ work", work that piques my interest and work from artists who no longer post anything on the web/ haven't posted anything in years, not for personal gain, but for my own pleasure. You could say I have a document folder that's filled with work from artists, including yours, work you uploaded, links to your sites, like to pages with your "leaked" work, all neatly organized so on a rainy day if the power is out or I can't connect to the web. I can still access your work and bide my time with some "pleasurable" reading.

2023-08-01 03:08:57 +0000 UTCGuys we can actually do our part - if you see Creedo work posted anywhere - click REPORT or HELP and file a report - itโs mostly COPYRIGHT Content report - knowing thereโs a watermark in all Creedoโs work - I just did one
ViaOlivia
2023-07-31 14:52:02 +0000 UTCabsolutely understandable and you should be protecting your work so that you can continue creating such great content that the rest of us supporters can enjoy!
Gerald Wong
2023-07-31 14:41:44 +0000 UTCAs a creator and owner of the material you should be able to send a "cease and desist" to those sites. Most of them don't want to get into the legal trouble and will take down your copywrited content.
MuscleDad
2023-07-31 12:45:03 +0000 UTCThis is totally understandable and it's sad that it has come to this. People need to realize that it takes time and effort to deliver the kind of comics that you do. Take all the necessary steps that you need to protect your content. I'm happy to be a supporter and will continue to be! Stay strong! We love what you do.

2023-07-31 12:23:07 +0000 UTCThat's normal, these people are sooo... I will not say that

2023-07-31 08:07:33 +0000 UTCI came here after I found your great art on some random Twitter account. I wanted to support because you are so good at making great art and stories. I will understand whatever you do to keep your content safe. Gumroad should ad a watermark on every download. But I guess that would only help so much. I hope people see that you need support to be able to deliver such good material to us. I also hope you can find strength in the love and support from people. Would hate to see you get too down. I know how that can be time consuming and devastating. โค๏ธ

2023-07-31 08:00:11 +0000 UTCKeep your content safe.

2023-07-31 07:31:01 +0000 UTCI first heard about you through myreadingmanga and realised how important it is to support artists like yourself. Itโs not fair to just take without giving in return, makes no sense.

2023-07-31 06:34:25 +0000 UTCOh - they are cheating you - I am so sorry.
Andreas
2023-07-31 06:10:58 +0000 UTCThanks for everybody's comments! I have been silent for a few days coz of this issue. The recent Carterverse comic was leaked mere hours after posting so it was very disheartening. Regardless, thanks everybody for your support! I shall deliver even better material for you guys.
Creedo
2023-07-31 06:08:17 +0000 UTCYes. I discovered MRM removes if I request. But only some. I've tried in the past and only a handful gets removed.
Creedo
2023-07-31 06:06:24 +0000 UTCAnd I know about myreadingmanga but I won't read these comics cuz it's not their site & it's cheating & spoiling. I only want to see yours from your Patreon or Gumroad & I like surprises when I pay to view your comics. You know Patrick Fillion sued myreadingmanga & he warned them to not put his comics in this site again ever. I really hope you & other artists will fight against this site myreadingmanga, too. I did send a few comments to tell myreadingmanga to not to steal other artists' works & put these in this site for free anymore. But they blocked me off & they're still doing it. I tried to email them & warn them but they won't response. I still wish we should stop them someday.

2023-07-31 04:43:41 +0000 UTCAlso I think you can message those websites and uploader sometimes they remove it - or report them regarding your ownership rights
ViaOlivia
2023-07-31 04:25:46 +0000 UTCI actually know those websites and see your work there - even on telegram - but I always put note that Iโll still buy a membership cause I wanna support your talent and hard work - it will kinda guilt them in some ways ๐
ViaOlivia
2023-07-31 03:08:39 +0000 UTCYeah leaks are a bummer. Thatโs what membership is for.
Milkywayshadow
2023-07-31 01:29:33 +0000 UTCI know there are lots of leaks. That's not fair. People are cheating but I'm still paying you to view your continuing comics & you work harder on these. I'm always your big fan & supporter. I LOVE your Carters! I also pay your Gumroad! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ปโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐

2023-07-31 00:41:00 +0000 UTCPeople leaking your content suck! We support you in protecting yourself and I echo everyone who say itโs horrible itโs come to this ๐
sully
2023-07-31 00:38:02 +0000 UTCI see this happen to a lot of artists, people feel entitled to their work. Do what you need to do, I love your art and youโre skills have grown so much over the last little while.
Travis Truant
2023-07-31 00:32:03 +0000 UTCTotally support this, as Iโm happy I did find you through readingmanga just must be so disheartening to see your hard work being undone
grayson dekker
2023-07-31 00:31:32 +0000 UTCIm sorry thats happening that fucking sucks dude! I understand why your doing it, keep up the good work
Conicalcoffee
2023-07-31 00:31:03 +0000 UTCTotally supporting you on this. It really sucks that people are doing this for the sake of "content"
Rinn
2023-07-31 00:28:26 +0000 UTCIt sucks that thereโs not a better way to protect your content
Hayden Hayes
2023-07-31 00:25:08 +0000 UTCCompletely understandable, hate that you're dealing with this!!
