On latest news about patreon's terms
🕑 Added 2020-07-19 01:33:41 +0000 UTCGonna start saying I'm pissed off, I'm a blunt person who don't give a shit what other people think about what I say or think I'm being rude because I don't measure words. I do, I just really mean it cuz I want to be honest to a fault.
It's natural that companies go asshole once they get big enough.
But this is beyond assholishness.
The highest insult to any artist is for someone else to try and own their original creations.
I don't ask for much here on patreon.
I'm insignificant here.
I hate doing pity talk and I detest being pittied cuz I don't respect pity peddlers.
But I am a miserable person when it comes to a profession. My art and my creations are the ONLY thing I know I DO that's any good. And if Patreon wants to say they own ME or my creations, I'll fucking book a plane to their headquarters, beat the living shit out of their employees and be charged with assault with a happy bloody grin on my face cuz my creations are my life. It's the ONE thing I have.
I'm currently discussing with my other artist friends and they're also either considering leaving.
I made an account on recommendation by these same artist friends.
I keep this account because I deeply appreciate my patrons. They a good handful of true fans. No fallacy here. They give me some money because they like my art and want to support me, even if it's with a single dollar. Most people everywhere over the internet just watch fap material. The patrons that I have here care about me and my work and that's something that always makes me feel worth a damn. And I often feel I don't even deserve or do these current 19 patrons and $50 bucks justice because of how I work. And don't think I think 50 dollars is nothing. 50 dollars today is worth 269 brazilian reals. That's a meal on a fancy restaurant, several lunches, several fast food meals, one week's worth of groceries for my family or a very cool collectible for my nephew.
I do have a subscribestar, but I never used or promoted it cuz I barely promote my patreon.
I'm a lousy promoter, I just wanna draw, have fun drawing and appreciate people who appreciate my work as well as appreciate other people's work.
I know I also don't talk much here, as I said before I feel I don't deserve you guys. I feel ashamed. Not shy. Ashamed.
Still, I want to know what you guys, who like my work and find it worth a dollar or more, think about the situation and would like me to do. Do I go to Subscribestar, Only-Fans or some other suggestion?

In essence, they are giving themselves power over members and their content regarding redistribution. That they can dictate wherever you post stuff posted here and make money on it. It's a measure they're using to "discourage" people from posting stuff on other sites and also means they have rights to redistribute it themselves and make merchandize with it. Meaning that they want to control members and content as if they are property.

So I'm actually not aware of patreon's new terms. What are they?
