Take your time! It sucks the way vimeo has decided to behave like this. Embarrassing on their behalf

Thank you Loish for this update ! What I’m enjoying the most on your Patreon are actually all your video. It’s so unfair Vimeo is doing this. I hope someone close to you can help you with this issue. I wish you the best and take care ❤️

Kat Craig

That's horrible :( So sorry that's happening! Take as much time as you need. <3

That seems extremely unfair and time consuming for you (without mentioning that uploading videos on youtube can be a pain in the ass). Take your time, and thanks for the heads up =)

Jill Anderson

What a money grab! Sorry this has happened to you. 😔

Loish

thanks so much rob!

Loish

hey bryan! thank you so much and please don't feel pressured to support me if you have to cut corners elsewhere! I really appreciate your kind words :) and yes, I understand your frustration. it's happened to a lot of other people and the way they handle it is just messed up. at least give people an advance warning and some more time to sort things out, right?

Loish

it definitely sounds that way honestly. patreon has their own video uploading system in beta which I'll be trying out, so fortunately they've been a fantastic help so far!

Loish

hey! i've spoken to vimeo since yesterday and they will probably give me some more time to make the transition, so if all goes well, nothing should be offline at any point. but if you have trouble accessing any of the videos, just reach out!

thanks for the heads up :)

Greg Schultz

Thanks for your consideration. Strongest support going out to you.

I feel your pain, Lois. My only advice as an IT person is to be at peace and stay steady on. You can do this. I can wait.

Sharon Tu

Thank you so much!

Oh wow. Thank you for the update and I'm glad to see you have a better option available. That message from them does seem highly suspicious and it sounds like you made the right call. I love all your tutorials and each piece you make so much. You're always inspiring and pushing us to do better. Thank you!!

Take as much time as you need … YouTube will be a better platform for you with out the greed or imposed $$ , I had to leave Venmo as well . PS thanks for your genuine concern and contributing to my health and recover… your one of my art hero’s! 💙RC

I had to stop Patron support for you a while back, but after reading about the Vimeo Piracy that's going on, I'm back here for you. I can cut other corners in my non-existant fortune but it just burns my sense of decency to see how they and other corporations are squeezing the knickers out of everyone just to make that extra buck, euro or whatever in the name of greed.

I saw another Patreon artist get the same email, she was furious. I mentioned it to Patreon staff and they said that didn't sound right. I would contact Patreon support and see if they can help you. It'd be terrible if an official Patreon partner is trying to scam their customers. :/

Thank you for the update! So when will the videos be back online again?

I'm sorry this is happening to you, I hope everything goes well with uploading to YouTube. I think you should take as much time needed to get everything working properly❤️!! thanks for the warning

Loish

thank you :)

Loish

yep, you really dodged a bullet! thanks for the kind words!

Niquey

Wow. I'm so glad I never got into using Vimeo for my Patreon. I very nearly did! Thanks for the heads up, and good luck porting everything! 👍🏼👍🏼

Sending love and zen your way! You got this girl! *hugs*

Just saw your post on Twitter. This is such shady behavior on their part! Wanted to add to the support pool. I've been a fan since dA days! Keep movin forward!

What a pain! Sorry you have to go through all that. Thank you for the update.
