User leaking my posts
🕑 Added 2025-02-10 13:44:34 +0000 UTCI apologize for the rant, due to my health problems my source of income is through Patreon to live on. My posts keep getting leaked on this site and since they started doing this I have had a drop in my paid patrons. I am in no way greedy, my builds early access is 30 days, and 14 days for cc then they are free.
With my appointments and general health, I work as fast as I can to keep content coming, but I am only one person and I solely do all this for all of you, and I appreciate each and every one of you in a way I cannot begin to express!!!❤️❤️❤️
Right now I make less than $50 a month, so I'm not banking on Patreon. But I won't lie when I say it does hurt to see my stuff leaked when I don't paywall.
So I'm working to find another way to earn with my creations as there is no help for this. If I didn't rely on this for income I'd have stopped creating cc already. The worst part is it's usually due to a paid patron on here that is doing the leaking.
Patreon makes it difficult at times to even post content (very slow or failed uploads literally almost every time I post). Sometimes it takes me 3 hours to post a cc set no matter how small it is.
I am considering sometime in the near future creating a website again for my content (I have a long background in web/graphic design) and will implement a new system for better access for you to my content.
I don't know the algorithm that Patreon uses but I have over 1300 followers on here and I rarely get likes on my posts which shows that a lot of people don't see my posts and sometimes there is an increase in spam signups as well.
Once again, I apologize for my rant, and I appreciate YOU ALL! If I could give each of you a hug I would! 🤗

I don't understand why people have to be so heartless. Is it really so much to ask that your work is respected? Can they really not wait a couple weeks for it to be free? I'm so sorry. 🤗🫶

I'm sorry to hear this my friend. One option is that instead of posting the link, you send to your patrons via email or pm, this way none will be able to get it before it is release to the public.

Thank you so much! If money wasn't an issue, I wouldn't have to have early access. I'm hoping next year I can start creating and selling some merch too!

Thank you for the kind words ☺️ I definitely won't be stopping anytime soon, I definitely won't act on feelings.

I am sorry this is happening to you. Unfortunately no matter which way you do it, there will always be someone that believes everything should be free without empathy and compassion or the understanding of consequences. You are always generous with your builds and make wonderful commercial items to make the Sims world more enjoyable. Please don't let a select few sour your creativity. That is what they want!

You are already generous enough with your cc and builds. There is no good reason for someone to leak it. You also deserve a lot more than $50 a month for what you do. Hopefully, I can contribute soon.
