Sorry to hear that happened to you ...

Times are moving huh? And not for the better ...

Well that sucks. Thats too vague.

Unfortunately word has not spread about how quickly they'll throw you out if there's not a comical level of consenting going on in all pieces of art. some artists were adding ridiculous text to their art of characters consenting so Patreon didn't remove them, though that doesn't save you from arbitrarily having them decide bestiality because it's furry art.

Tried appealing?

Nearly a full decade of work thanos-snapped off of its hosting, and of course the frankly dire revenue hit will rank highly. Your work is genuinely part of this fandom's history, and I cannot imagine the world without it.

Sorry it came for you too buddy, ya hung onto Patreon longer than I expected with how things had turned in 2023. I guess we got to trade Furaffinity getting its shit together for fiscal deplatforming.

Bummer. Here's a taco for you. 🌮

Sorry to hear this happened, this is the exact reason I stopped posting stuff to patreon and only do direct benefits now. I hope your subscribestar fills back up fast and your finances stabilize. Shit sucks

I've heard a lot of bad things about how Patreon is conducting their business. Many artists have opened Subscribestar Adult accounts, and if I have an option, I follow them there.

I hope that you are able to recover your revenue

Thats horrible 😱

I hope you get it back. Think positive

So sorry this has happened to you. You shouldn't have to worry about financial security when you do the serious work you do. You're one of my very favorite artists. Your work is so real and alive that it hurts sometimes; I wish I could live in that world.

The only consolation I can offer is this: Nobody's loyal to Patreon, Paypal, Twitter, any of these parasites. We're loyal to the artists we love, not the lesser creatures who enrich themselves by profiting off your work. I'm not the only one who will join you elsewhere.

If it involves hypnosis they'll often flag it as non-con. Sorry bud that sucks.

Sorry to hear that happend to you. Does anyone know of a subscription based website that allows NSFW furry art? I was ment to set up patreon but I'm afraid it's going to happen to me too...

I'll be creating a subscribestar to support you and whoever else gets banned by Patreon. I'm sorry to hear this happened to you.

I suppose this is inevitable eventually. Patreon had a good run but the enshittification of all websites will come, when money is involved. I hope you can meet continued success over on subscribestar, I take it it's community isn't as big, but if this keeps happening, I think the population of furries will shift....

Definitely appeal and occasionally send in art to Patreon for review.

I've been doing that for years and have found I can do a lot more lewd art there than I thought.

But there are a few things that can count as noncon that you wpould not think would. Getting feedback from Patreon on that to keep your art in line with their rules goes a long way!

And be careful about advice from people that don't use Patreon much as it is not as strict as some assume. You can get in depth good answers about your art on Patreon if you send examples in for review. I send in my art for review at least once a year.

The big ones I have been told to avoid with my art when contacting Patreon was feral with anthro, hypnosis and scenarios where facial expressions don't look consenting, and anything that could look underage. If you avoid those subjects it seems there's not many other limitations.

man imagine being fired by your employee.

Pathetic of them. Let Patreon dig their own grave, people know what they want and if Patreon won't platform you someone else will.

Always ridiculous when you can get those "3 strikes" all at once for having a large back log... Like, it makes you wanna just knock down their doors and ask their HQ "hello? we're the people making you get your cut of money from our content! Why do you feel so entitled to take away the whole thing without even the opportunity for a response... There are things that could've been done to at least give me the *opportunity* to make some kind of informed response!"

Ridiculous how the kind of thing that happened to you here is treated so different than something like a job, where you can be obligated to receive some kind of remuneration for a sudden firing. Yet patreon can just take away hundreds, even *thousands* of dollars of a monthly income at will, with no valid response, with no forewarning, with no opportunity to resolve the issue on your end, with no meaningful communication aside from automated emails... It's deeply unjust!

Internet service providers who have creators that receive a living from actions on those sites (creators that bring revenue to them even!) *need* to have some sort of more meaningful interaction when so much money is involved; when the money involved enters the hundreds, it's ridiculous how easy it is for it all to be taken away. Youtube, patreon, subscribestar, recently steam and itch.io... All of them are guilty of this!

I wish you well recovering from this, however it becomes resolved in the end

Sorry this happened. I've been subscribed to your patreon for a few years now. I've resubscribed over your subscribestar and I'm hoping you can get most of your subscribers back too.

i hope so too
ty for your support frien

Yeah that's the issue with Patreon's trust and safety team. They make questionable decisions and just go right for the ban hammer instead of giving you a poke and saying "ey... these violate our rules... remove 'em or explain why you think they're not a violation."

They're not consistent in their moderation standards either. Honestly I won't be surprised if they go the Gumroad route and just ban NSFW entirely. It isn't the bulk of their business and clearly they're just not capable of moderating it fairly. Instant bans should only be for extreme violation of the rules like repeat offenses after being told to cut it out or posting blatantly illegal content like real child pornography.

I've heard that creators who do end up having to start over on Subscribestar kinda bounce back after word gets out. You may need to do some more marketing to get the word out, gentle reminders to subscribe to your Subscribestar, that sorta thing.

I hope things work out for ya in the end.

These platform restrictions have been insane, they stop artists from making any kind of living.
I hate that this happened to you.

That's terrible, I am so sorry.
