Crazy Times...
🕑 Added 2022-08-09 20:44:18 +0000 UTCThanks for everyone who replied to my last post, kind words, advice, it was all very helpful.
Patreon as a platform in general is.. rough, regardless of who you are, the site is buggy, it's slow, it's limited (in features), and the mobile experience is awful.
Looking at management, Jack Conte is a dick. He's anti-SW and stands by the company's strict "morality clause". This is the same pattern we've seen on Tumblr and Instagram.. and may see on Twitter. So creators like me are being told "we don't have a place for you" (just look at P***Hub being rejected by banking institutions).
The fact that sites can rip Patreon content so efficiently and freely is honestly amazing, hats off to them. I'm in the software industry, I completely understand piracy, I lived through the Napster era, I get it.
I'll continue to create, I'll continue to post my content here.. but I am looking into moving to a better platform. Heck I'd rather just share access to my own Google Drive than give another dime to Patreon (Uploading about 1TB as we speak).
There are some big UniqDsn moves coming up.. if any of you follow me on Twitter/IG/UniqDsn Newsletters/Etc. you already know! We're moving the backend of the business to a fulfillment center.. this means I won't be packing anything up anymore!
The move also means the company is positioned to scale up HARD. Unlimited inventory space, as many colors as we'd like to produce, as many products as we'd like to stock.. it's incredible. We're looking to scale up in such a way that we can work with retailers in Asia and Europe.
HUGE HUGE HUGE news in store, hoping things settle down in time for Halloween.. this year's Black Friday sale will be a breeze.
Anyways, I'm done rambling!
