How often do you engage with your fanbase? How frequently do you post members-only content? These are a couple of rhetorical questions to ask oneself. I think for Patreon, Youtube, IG, or for any platform, it's all about consistency.

yeah i need to get more consistant but i guess i'm just more afriad of nothing i do working and i'll get no replies or interaction no matter what i do lol

That's completely understandable. <3 But, you never know if you don't try first. :) And if it doesn't work out, then maybe we'll go the route of adding in occasional non-fetishy porn in addition to fetishy porn (unless you already do mix it up now and again).

I forgot, but what was SFM? Sounds super cumbersome for making lewd art and such with. (I am not suggesting you return to what doesn't work for you. I'm only asking out of curiosity as all I can find on Google is "San Francisco Museum of Modern Art", lol.)

source filmmaker, its what a lot of those 3d porn animations you see are

Ah I see now. Yeah, I don't know how to use that, and judging by how you feel towards it, I don't think I can be bothered to learn it myself, lol. Sounds like a proper pain in the arse.
