A very important heads up
🕑 Added 2023-06-21 11:16:13 +0000 UTCTL;DR- Patreon might freeze my payments because I'm unable to give them age verification (that I've spent 2-3 weeks trying to do). If that happens, I'm going to Subscribestar.
Hey, so I've been sending tickets to the Patreon staff for 2-3 weeks now, because they want me to verify my age, as I'm an 18+ artist.
I have made repeated attempts to give them this information, but due to whatever the "jumio" app... system... whatever they want me to go through; I can't send it.
I have tried repeatedly on both my phone and with webcam. Jumio turns my phone's camera to trash, and my webcam isn't great to begin with.
I've taken both a pic of my license, and myself, on my phone... but apparently something isn't getting across, because nobody will even acknowledge that I am trying to give them my age verification.
So, it may happen soon that Patreon will stop me being allowed to be paid.
If that happens, I'm going to see how Subscribestar works; because the amount of bs I've had to put up with, simply trying to give them my face and i.d. here, is insane.
But for now; I may stream later today with Amper again. Not 100% on that, but maybe.
Have a good day/night.

Maybe.. I always thought that was more of a tip jar type of thing; but could look into that if I need to; thanks

That's a good question... I suppose with most of the pateron-specific posts, I would just post the older ones (say, up to 2021) to FA or something since they've been up for years, now. Sketches and things, I don't know that I would bother unless I plan to use any of them... But would likely repost everything from the past 2-3 years on the new service, if it comes to that.

Would you be moving all of your preexisting patreon content to the new service, or would it all be lost?

What about Kofi? I Haven't heard much of subscriber star though, so I don't have a reference on that ^^;
