Especially versus what I came across this winter.
Just saying, sometimes you can't or can't anymore, and I encourange keeping money to yourself especially when you need it.
Sometimes others are willing to pay extra to boost me so that "non payers" can still see stuff! and Sometimes they pass on the freebie so that it can be given to someone else who might want it...because not everyone who give wants something, they want to GIVE. So physical things like postcards or calendars if they already got a bunch , goes to someone else yet again!
So I still make and share only because it's .... just .... interesting!

I'm mentioning this because during the holidays I got a boost of "supporters" after I shared some nice videos online, but some people joined patreon and thought were owed content and were "buying" access when I specifically say that's not what you are doing with support. So when nasty exit surverys occurred, I knew it was people seeing the public posted videos and expecting something ELSE, with no reason to. Most surveys were basically "I didn't get what I wanted" and that's not how an artist or even a general "content creator" works. That's not cool when nothing was promised. I haven't changed the tiers in yiers 😅
I know when accounts are scraping and I know when some rando wants to "give" 2$ to see everything ever made,save files, want high quality production, personalized video conversations, adult pics/vids and still demand more....where does it stop? Some people manage to give 2$ knowing it adds up, and some think their $2 is worth 2Million$.
Don't do that to ANY artist/creator/content/etc.

That's why "non tier" peeps are valuable, if you can pitch in then you do, if not then no biggie! I wish I posted more HERE to see, it might change based on how social sites act now,but you know how that is.
I like to show appreciation, but I will leave out people in credits of those that demand stuff with a lure of money (doesn't matter how much), credit is forfeit once someone proves their intentions were not for real, I specify what I'm all about. So credit goes to those who Be For Real, even if it's "non tier" peeps! Because People help in many different ways! some help so much I feel like I don't deserve it, but I can definatly keep going!

BTW I have unfortunate health surprises, so I need to fix them and deal, they do NOT get better soon. For now it's dealing, then it's we'll see, then action. But there is a plan...to have a plan. Usually when I recover from procedures I have time to make little videos etc of recent stuff, but that's why this past winter was a dirty surprise, I made nice videos whil I was down, people expected more while I was bedridden like ...whut? It made me appreciate my actual supporters,fans,friends,helpers even MORE.
