THIS is why I have my OWN site
8 years ago
So I've just been banned from Tumblr. I've put in a ticket but I do not have high hopes that my account will be reinstated. Why was I banned? Who knows. That's the thing, they don't explain that sort of thing to you until you put in the ticket and demand an answer. Near as I can tell it was because I mentioned my site or AnimeFlux's site in the text of my art post. When it was posted a bot probably caught it and I was insta-banned. No explanation, nothing.
But THIS is one of the MAJOR reasons I have my own site. I'm so sick of dealing with distant gatekeepers who are accountable to no one for nothing. If something goes wrong it's just how it is. If you're banned well tough luck. Tumblr was where I had my largest following and no every person following me has gone up and smoke and I'm back to struggling with finding an audience for my work. I've had a similar problem on FA as well where access to the site has directly harmed my ability to do my job and the ability of supporters to get access to the content they paid for. Patreon is guilty of it as well and THESE clowns are demanding that you give them your social security number and street address now before they pay you. (New policy this month)
I'm so sick of it. I'm tired of just getting shit on by people who I will never meet. PLEASE, you guys, if you want to support my work check out MY site where I can engage you on my and your terms. It's 12 bucks to sign up, you get access to my work, Hizzacked's work, and Animeflux's work. I know paysites are kind of a taboo with people, paying for porn? What? Don't think of it that way, don't think of it as a product. Think of it as a service from the artist to you. Think of it as showing your support for the people who's work you appreciate. Take the thinking you may have when signing up for a patreon and apply it here as well....except we have more control of what can get posted, when, how it's accessed, and the security involved.
Ugh. Fuck tumblr. I'm just so mad right now. I haven't been this mad about a thing in a long long time.

That was my initial face when I saw the screen. I just stared for a moment.
