Important Announcement: Subscription Pricing Update
🕑 Added 2023-09-27 18:42:29 +0000 UTCHello,
I have an important announcement to make regarding our subscription pricing. Some of you may already be aware of this, as I have received private messages on our discord server.
Ever since I shared the Mega link containing all my accessible comics, they have been widely shared on pirate sites. This unfortunate situation has resulted in a significant loss of subscribers.
Just to give you some context, before I shared the Mega link, we were gaining between 5 and 10 new subscribers every month. Right before adding the Mega link, our total number of subscribers reached 187. However, since then, the trend has completely reversed, and we have been losing between 1 and 5 subscribers each month. We are currently down to 140 subscribers, and a few weeks ago, we even had 125.
It is quite clear that we cannot continue like this. In order for me to sustain a decent living from the creation of my comics, I would need to have 200 subscribers at $10/month.
I put in a tremendous amount of work every week, only to see people subscribing just to gain access to the Mega link and then sharing it on pirate sites. This truly frustrates me.
For the past two days, I have been tirelessly searching for a solution that would allow our subscribers to have access to all my comics while preventing pirates from obtaining the Mega link. Unfortunately, I haven't found any viable options.
I do understand that the Mega link is the most convenient method for both you, the subscribers, and myself. Therefore, I will not be removing the link. However, this also means that I will have to compensate for the loss of subscribers by increasing the subscription price.
I am well aware that many of you will choose to cancel your subscriptions, and I want to express my gratitude to all those who have supported me over the past months and years. It would deeply sadden me to see you go.
I also understand that some may feel that my work does not deserve the new subscription price and decide to leave. I apologize for promising not to raise the price again but, unfortunately, I am left with no other choice.
Hence, I want to officially announce that starting from this evening, the first tier of subscription, which grants access to all my comics, will be increased from $10/month to $20/month. You may wonder why it is $20 and not $15. The reason is simple: with the price increase, I expect many to cancel their subscriptions.
I realize that I may lose some subscribers, just as it happened when the subscription was increased to $10. However, I hope that those who truly value my 3D Futanari Comics will eventually re-subscribe, recognizing the unique qualities that make them truly exceptional.
Additionally, starting from this evening, I have decided to remove the $1 and $5 tiers as they do not provide any significant advantages.
I deeply regret having to make this decision, but if I want to continue creating comics and earn a living from them, this decision is necessary.
Thank you for your understanding.
PS: I also think that the recent improvements I have made to make my comics even more enjoyable to read and watch have given my work a little more value.

I enjoyed your content. But at $20, it's too much. I don't know how long I have been a subscriber,, but I can't justify it.

Thank you so much for your unwavering support and kind words. It means the world to me that you have been a fan of my art and stories since 2018. Your dedication and belief in my creativity truly inspire me to keep pushing forward and improving with each passing year. This journey wouldn't be the same without amazing fans like you who appreciate and value what I do. Your commitment to supporting my work by upgrading to the annual subscription method shows your true dedication as a patron. I appreciate you going the extra mile to show your support. Thank you once again for being a fan and for believing in my art. It means everything to me.

Yes. We knew this day would come. Ergo, I am unashamedly upping the ante as you have requested (by annual subscription method). I, like several others have been here a while (2018 in my case). You were never a hobbyist here, but an entrepreneur creator, dear Pat. I am, and remain a fan of your art, and stories.
