(repost from my main account since it still affects here)

So I just discovered that a few days ago, someone paid for the full-access tier on my Patreon, got access to all the full-res download files of my art, and then immediately withdrew their pledge.

That's not cool, broski. I haven't had a single Patron yet, and I set up download links because I figured that'd be the easiest and kindest way to link my art to folks as I completed said works, so people wouldn't have to wait till the end of the month and such for image files.

Guess I need to revamp my Patreon, because dat's not cool and I really don't want that to happen again.

While I make most of my income off YCHs and commissions, I'd still like to run my Patreon on the side as another way to interact with and get my art to folks. I had even been hoping that if I got enough Patreons, I could run polls for future YCH ideas and even Patreon-only streams.

So I guess I need to take off all my DL links and restructure my Patreon tiers.

I'd appreciate feedback on this, like different things I could offer, what price tiers people usually look for, etc. I really don't know what to do or where to start it seems, so yeah.

Thank you.
