To Clarify Some of The Changes
🕑 Added 2019-06-21 20:45:20 +0000 UTCOkay so, we had a lot of backlash on the last post around the changes.
Adult Content: This includes...
- Bimbofication
- Arousal themes
- Submission/Domination files this includes fantasies, brainwashing, fractionation with that as the main theme
- Basically, anything that isn't a therapeutic file, relaxation, sleep hypnosis or a basic induction
Somethings that you will get in the new $15 tier are:
- Starting in July one adult themed file a week
- Options for longer inductions or not (I have been experimenting with this lately. One version of the file will have an induction and the other will be just the usual track)
- The ability to have more say in what comes out first through polls
The reasoning behind these changes to my work is to mostly streamline what I do and make things better for everyone. Mainly, the goal behind the changes are so that I can get my own practice up and going here in NZ and have a studio to work out of. A studio will make a huge difference for the quality of the files. I also have plans to eventually hire a producer/minion to help me with all the day to day admin and scheduling in order to be more productive. I will be looking at quitting my charity job and my drama class by the end of the year and go back into full time study/this full time.
Now, this will not be a sudden change. I will be starting to add perks and change the tiers over the next month as a trial. The $10 tier will stay, as will the 1-5 but the content there is changing. I will also be looking at changing some of the higher tiers and having less tiers overall.
I will also be, starting this month, creating a monthly round up post of all that has been created this each month so you can see where the support has gone and what's been created lately.
Thanks for all the feedback so far and I hope this clears up some of what will be changing as we move forward.

I know you mentioned you were looking for feedback so I thought I’d add mine. I’m generally in agreement with everyone that if the adult content became $15 tier only I would definitely have to drop my subscription. I can see why you’d want to make the changes and your long term goals but it simply isn’t sustainable to me at all. I’m very passionate about Patreon and what it stands for so always try to stretch my ‘entertainment’ allowance where I can but I already struggle as it is so wouldn’t be able to. Obviously do what feels best to you but I would say you may suffer a large decrease purely from people’s budget allowances

I’m sorry you feel that way, however with the nature of the internet as it is going the notion of making free kink content is slim at best. It’s against both YouTube and patreons rules to make them free and I would rather have a platform where people have to pay for more quality adult work than no platform at all.

So I forgot to give my feedback last night, so here's my side of things. I make my pledges to support the creation of publically available hypnokinky content; if everything hypnokinky is going behind a paywall, then it's just a pay-for-access system rather than me contributing to content being out there for people to explore, so I'll be dropping mine. Plus $15 is three times as much as I'm contributing to any other hypno content creator bar one personal exception, so I wouldn't be meeting that regardless, unless I was especially invested in getting access to something specifically.
I'm more pledging because I believe in what you're doing rather than the content I may or may not be getting. It's unfortunate that this is what Patreon is doing but I guess they have to navigate around very vague laws.

$15/mo is not sustainable for me in the long run without lowering/canceling other pledges. However, I am going to do the $15 tier for a month and see how it turns out. I'll re-evaluate at the end of July to see where I go from there.

Me and my partner understand what you're trying to do but the simple fact is that we are not rich people. $10 is our limit for our pledges and as much as we enjoy your content and supporting you we cannot justify spending that much money without getting access to the erotic content. Under these changes we'll be cancelling our pledge rather than paying more unfortunately.
