Disappointment
🕑 Added 2023-08-30 05:13:20 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
So, I discovered a site had stolen literally EVERY SINGLE post I've made here on Patreon. Every image, link, coupon...everything. I attempted a DMCA removal and they told me off in a very smug fashion. Now, I know in my line of work, of COURSE material is going to be stolen and posted. There are a number of videos out there that have made their way around to free websites, and I remove them if they get out of control. But this type of mass posting is a bit crazy. I charge a whole whopping $5 per month for this Patreon and you get nearly 5 years of content posted on it. Luckily, I can disable all that content and change the links, but of course that will take a significant amoutn of time.
I've also discovered my links are not working as they should. I've received a few messages about it, and sadly it seems like Patreon changed the way they display the Google Drive links. Not only are some links just not working anymore, but there are apparently older links which also don't work from when I started this page.
So in light of both of these, I may be moving off Patreon... I most certainly don't WANT to. Or I may reduce my content to PG/Youtube friendly only content.
I'll be posting a poll soon to get some opinions on whether my subscribers would follow me to another platform (with a current subscriber discount, of course!), or other ideas as to how to handle this.
Thanks everyone for being subbed on here! =)

You guys are sweet. I'm still trying to think of how I want to do the poll. I'm just glad the hurricane didn't flood my car while I was away.
