Spreading Patreon content
Added 2023-03-05 15:54:17 +0000 UTCI'm so, so disappointed to learn there's people among you who spread patreon exclusive content around. This is my job and only source of money — I need the money I'm trying to make so I can continue dedicading my time for this comic. If you're going to just leak it, what do you think is going to happen if people stop coming here?
I know your aliases but I'm not asking to know who you are here, I'm just asking for you to have a speck of respect towards the work I do, and to the paying patrons, and stop it.
I should mention that I'm just one of the comic creators they're leaking. They seem to target animal comics, leak their pages and p2u bases.

I will keep an eye out and report it if I see any content from here. As an author and skull artist I understand and share your distress! I've found my work in unauthorized and unexpected places too. :(
2023-03-10 16:53:35 +0000 UTCwtf I hate seeing this! I am so sorry this is happening. If the person(s) responsible sees this: Do better.

2023-03-07 03:39:11 +0000 UTCI don't understand why people do this. Clearly they like it because they're paying for a Patreon subscription to get the content in the first place. So why are they stealing from someone creating something they love? Artists need to survive too.
2023-03-07 00:54:19 +0000 UTCHope you cand find them quickly :( I understand people want to know what happen in the comic, but you need money. Artists need money. How can you love golden shrike without supporting the creator of your beloved comic? ://

2023-03-06 19:58:33 +0000 UTCcomplete scumbag behaviour. I'm all in favor of naming and shaming so thher creators can blacklist them.

2023-03-06 17:35:44 +0000 UTC:[ You are charging basically pocket change for access to what we see. If people can't cover it due to the economy right now then waiting for public posts is fine. If they're so cheap to bypass it for others then that's disgusting and vile. I charge basically a coffee's worth for access to ALL of my stuff and I'd be pretty upset if someone leaked any of my speedpaints or private posts. This seems to happen with every animal artist that does this sort of work that I've heard of, and it boggles the mind. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some of the same individuals overlapping all those spaces but it does suck. I hope you can figure out who it is.

2023-03-06 04:37:50 +0000 UTCThat’s awful I’m so sorry this happened to you and sadly so many other talented people as well. I hope you can narrow down who the culprits are and get that squared away. They didn’t just steal your hard work but took money out of your mouth as well. So many artists rely on the sales they make from here for housing, food, bills and so much more in there daily lives. They need to implement a thing like Snapchat that sends you a notification that someone copied or screenshot on your page.
2023-03-06 03:19:56 +0000 UTCi’m so sorry to hear this! it would be nice if patreon implemented something like timed download and screencap/recording blocks

2023-03-05 23:01:03 +0000 UTCI heard about it from another artist, wich bases are transfered to non patreon users that use them for adopts and all the shit. This is just disgusting, not only are they stealing things, but they are making profit behind the artist's back, not even paying for the base. Some even use double/fake accounts to access to artists patreon if they are blocked on their main account. People are just insane and obssessive, they can't respect anything! I'm so sorry it's happening to you as well! I hope you found them and kick them out like they deserve.

2023-03-05 21:50:17 +0000 UTCI don't know who they are on Patreon as they're likely operating under a sock account. If it eases you, the screenshot I saw of the server didn't imply that your comics were there.
2023-03-05 21:45:29 +0000 UTCCould you dm me the name of their Patreon account? I do Patreon-exclusive bases and comic pages so I'd love to make sure they're not in mine.

2023-03-05 21:40:14 +0000 UTCSorry to hear this. It is so hard to make a living income as an artist so for someone to do this is truly appalling. I hope they will think better in future. Shame is a powerful tool

2023-03-05 18:47:25 +0000 UTCOh my goodness Ratt, I’m so sorry to hear this is happening. I’ve heard of this happening to other creators too, and it just reeks of disrespect for your time, effort, and work. I hope they can be rooted out and removed.
2023-03-05 18:15:28 +0000 UTCI'm sorry to hear that. You put so much work into sharing your world with us, and deserve the support and needed income. I don't frequent the discords, but I hope all offenders are found out.

2023-03-05 17:33:39 +0000 UTCOh my god that so disrespectful! I hope you can find them soon and that they stop or own up to it. I’m so sorry, I can try to keep my eyes peeled in the main GS discord, tho idk which server it was leaked since I haven’t seen anything there. I’ll keep an eye out elsewhere regardless
