About distribution and piracy!
🕑 Added 2023-09-11 19:28:23 +0000 UTCHello guys!
I want to address an important topic that has been bothering me and affecting me a lot lately and it is the issue of leaked content, which has spread a lot lately, even leaking hours after being published, this affects both me and you, because my value with Patreon has always been to deliver exclusive content to my supporters and with the content that is being leaked it's difficult to maintain that value
and well, there are many people who, instead of subscribing or paying something for this type of content, prefer to look for it on other pages that hurt to creators directly, I think that on those pages more than 400 people consume my content directly without contributing anything and it is very discouraging
Therefore I want to implement security measures in this regard, I have not yet decided which way to go but my options are both to send files through Google Drive to their DMs or run a Patreon-only Discord server, I would like to know what your preferences are and see which ones suit you best
I want to continue creating content here on Patreon and deliver exclusive quality content that you are willing to pay for, and I am sure that these measures can help this, leave me a comment What do you think and if you have any suggestions it would help me a lot.

Discord server would be cool. Like Duga said, theyre slightly better for preventing leaks....also just having a place to hangout n whatnot can be fun

Yeah, discord servers are pretty fun too

I've found that discord servers are a bit better for prevention because Google links can be leaked. I'm sorry that's happening to you, leak websites are fucking scum :(

I'm sorry that this is happening to you, bud. Sadly I think those sites still allow manual uploading as well, but that's an additional step that might discourage folks from dumping stuff on there. Patreon messages work, and require less moderation than a Discord Server. But a server adds another layer between download and re-upload since they'd need to join the server and get the links and all that.
