ptrn update! BAD NEWS
Added 2024-03-16 23:04:02 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Woke up today to some pretty unwelcome news today: Patreon's decided to shake things up with their policy update.
Not exactly the ideal start i've planed, especially when I was gearing up to end my hiatus and get back to posting art next month.
But hey, I'm not about to let that stop me!
WE WILL GO INTO APRIL AS PLANNED! Even though I have the feeling it will end bandly...
fo I can't shake this feeling that trouble might be brewing on the horizon.
So, I'm looking into other platforms like JustForFans, Fancy, SubscribeStar, and OnlyFans. Gonna dive into their policies and see if any of them could be a good fit. If anyone has experiences with these platforms and/or other alternatives, please contact me!
If things go very bad and I end up getting a bXn, you can still find/contact me on
Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/supermuuhcow.bsky.social
Twitter: twitter.com/SuperMuuhCow
Pillowfort: www.pillowfort.social/SuperMuuh
and my Discord (though it's more of an art storage space than anything else/ do not expect high activity): https://discord.gg/qE5R7SGU
Let's hope they reconsider after seeing how hard Gumroad will fall face in the mud after the NSFW ban... but I doubt it...

2024-03-20 17:40:08 +0000 UTCyeah... on the firt glance it looks "okay" fo artworks... but there is a point which destroys it all: "Animated or illustrated works (e.g. cartoons, comic strips, graphic novels) that depict nudity in sexual contexts !! as long as they comply with Patreon’s other guidelines.!!" So yeah....

2024-03-17 00:59:54 +0000 UTCI've had another artist go to Subscribestar. Not much experience with it yet, but it seems okay so far.
