Gumroad is a cuck
a year ago
Since pixiv, I've separated all of my work to MEGA for the very reason that these services cannot be trusted. Make millions off of porn, then 3 years later pretend it's immoral.
It's explicitly frustrating with Gumroad, because their entire platform is built on the promise that the more money you make for gumroad, the less they take from you overtime. And now that most artist like me have went from 90% cut to a 95% cut. They are rugpulling that service, now severing partnerships with any fetish artist.. And I bet the greedy bastards will reopen porn on their site in the future AFTER they axe their top creators. So they get their petty 10% from top creators again. (There is more frustrating things than just this.)
Reminder, Gumroads original TOS was no photographic IRL porn, or illustrated CP. Which is the reason a majority of artist decided to work with them, is Gumroad begged people to come over for illustrated porn. Proudly stated how free it was to post illustrated fetish content.
And updated now without even sending an email, that there is a ban on anything that can be remotely considered a fetish.
This should be illegal to fuck with people's businesses. Just one of the many billions of ways artist get raped.
I deleted all of my posts on Gumroad that had art that includes porn, it will only be hosted on MEGA for patrons, which is already what I was doing. And I will give the folder path to it in posts rather than post porn and risk anything. If needs be, I will migrate to another payment processor platform with the same model of only relying on links to MEGA or other sites, rather than hosting porn on the patron service. Ideally, I can just keep selling it on Gumroad. This platform is mid with features (I miss Pixiv), but it works really well. And when I finish volume one, this platform is perfect for selling membership and a product.
I'll see about setting up on Subscribe star, for 2 years my subscribe star has been under review, and I've sent three emails asking about it which never got answered. But I bet you the same sad story of Paypal bullying patron sites will play out there.
Honestly, ideally I could just go back to pixiv fanbox, and not post porn like I will be doing on Gumroad from now. I would like to keep using Gumroad since I get a very good cut of the profit on this site now after using it for 2 years.-
Maybe I will set up a new Pixiv account so I can post my art, and sell stuff on Pixiv Fanbox again.
TL;DR I will still be on gumroad unless there is a better financial venture than it: https://artca9.gumroad.com/l/megapatron
