Every time I posted, I'd get a new one the next day-- I thought it was how the site sending them worked. It stopped this month, so I figured it was finally over and it's helped my mood.
I got one today. It's funny; every single time I advertise here, I get a bot. I stopped getting them while I stopped posting on FA as often so this can't be a coincidence. I wasn't on that site UNTIL I mentioned having a Patreon here even.
So whoever's doing it can you fucking stop lol???
I'm not even making triple digits. Save for WIPs (which went ignored before), I don't do exclusives. Everything goes up on tumblr. I've been trying to keep the stress of this to myself but I'm tired. I'm just trying to live on my art here. Distribution is inevitable but not making the proposed amount I'm supposed to make, small as it already is, is fucking shitty. I couldn't even tell the bots apart before so I'd have to wait to be let down at the start of the month. awesome
Ya'll hate YCHs, auctions, adoptables... You hate teasers and exclusives. I try to avoid those and work hard but all it does is make it difficult for me to make a consistent living. What do ya'll want

Patrons aren't charged until the start of the next month, and the bots use fake cards or something so you don't get paid for their patronage. In August I anticipated having enough money for bills but ended up $40 short lol. Other people get it worse, like in the hundreds. so uh
Grand.
I know about the distribution sites, me and a bunch of others are working to take them down.
Even the great Kabier got hit :/
Patreon staff has been 'working on it' since at least August. They plan to change their payment system and I've been excited for it but it's taking so long that it's kinda draining. I guess it's a very complicated fix
his most expensive tier is a bot catcher and i think he makes it so they can't see any content at all. hope this helps!
If Patreon doesn't implement the new payment system by the time payments process in November, I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you so much
