What are the options
10 years ago
Well Patreon has been super hacked in a major way, they got just about everything. Email addresses, home addresses Billing addresses social security numbers even love letters to artists. To make matters worse the email they sent telling me not to panic and if I had any questions ask, came with a dead email address that bounced right back. I've decided I'm not going to use Patreon anymore, whoever did this got away with it, and I have absolutely no reason to think that the hacker /hackerteam involved won't just come back again and again. I tried to ask if they got the people involved but as I said, the fucking email they sent was dead. So what are the options aside from Patreon? What other options are there to support and encourage artists?
it's not the same ,though, since artists couldn't keep up with all the management patreon did so they wouldn't offer the same things to people who donated.. those would also significantly diminish.
You could always commission them too ^^ and spread the word when they open commissions and such.
BTW! i sent a note with a PV of your freebie :3
it's a lot of work and i work on it from time to time so it's taking a bit to get finished.
Sorry for taking this long to finish your freebie.
