I spent the weekend in Chicago for a graduation and I did do a bit of content but I haven't had a chance to post much yet because instead of editing videos today I had to spend the day chasing down a troll who thought it was a good idea to try to find my personal data (my home address, my phone number; my car license plate, the hotel I'm staying at) and blast it all over the internet.
Yesterday Ichecked my work voicemails and i had to listen to not one but two explicit, disgusting messages detailing to great extent what the person wanted to do to me. The same person mentioned my 17 yr old employee
Not cool. It was a very upsetting day, and if the person who did this is a sub here, I have one thing to say: I am very disappointed in you.
This patreon is my safe place where I can share content with people who have demonstrated their supportiveness and I want to reward your support with a more inside view on what I'm doing.
I also like being able to just show you what I'm excited about without worrying about rude comments or trolling. So far have not had one single sub who was rude or caused any trouble. Which is amazing
It should go without saying that what I share here is not for external distribution, yet my exclusive content has shown up on sketchy freebie websites without my consent. I would think that if you pay for that content, you wouldn't want to give it away to people who didn't pay. I don't understand why this happens.
Please don't do it. It makes me very sad. It upsets me a lot. It makes me cry. It ruined my day.
If you see my exclusive content posted somewhere else, please report it. I haven't approved that.
If you see crazy deep fake type videos that arent of me, please report it. I have never consented to deep fake type videos of my work and I don't appreciate the violation of my privacy and my IP.
I'm sad. I'm disappointed. I feel pretty self-conscious about making new content, knowing this person is watching me [dont worry im still going to do it.] I feel used.
I appreciate very much the extent to which you guys have been perfect gentleman here and I am so grateful to every one of you. This community of fans has been kind and supportive and you have showered me with gifts and I genuinely feel appreciated. Which is something I never felt as a bookseller
So thank you for not being douchebags
