WoodEmberCinderz: @Puhdsy: I heard that! However I understand how a person can have different methods of funding separate things. Like have a desk job to pay and have a single ownership lawn job for play(liquor, porn, etc). But I will say that some of those prices and stipulations are outright ridiculous and highway robbery.
Cane751: There are better ways to gather support, this isn't one of them. This tactic mostly drives people away, in other words; you lose more than you gain. People who do this aren't worth supporting imo.
Cane751: @Anonymous: Nah, this isn't about free porn, retard. Also, I support many artists (excluding those who stoop to this level of advertisement). I only send money to those I think deserves it, plain and simple.
tom641: The real way to do this is to release the uncensored stuff after X amount of time or X posts later. It's not exclusive that way, it's just time gated.
Puhdsy: I like the concept of "time gate" but this is just like the cancer that killed youtube. People hoped on the wagon of earning money that way; so it is happening now not only with porn, but with every fucking way of entertainment on the internet that people did for free years ago only for the sake of fun. Patreon-blocked images should be banned here. The worst type of advertising yourself imo.
Zvantastika: No, the image won't be banned.
No, we won't ban images with the Patreon censoring.
No, we won't stop you from downvoting this image to hell.
No, "this image is causing my wallet to close itself" is not a valid reason to report, might be an accurate description, but still not a valid reason.
Now that those points are clear (hopefully), please refrain from reporting this image unless it is actually breaking a rule.
Anonymous8: Time gates are one way to do it. Another is having standard resolution for free, and the real large renders for patrons. Seen a few who do that and are very successful with it. Paywalls just piss people off.
Zvantastika: @Puhdsy: No can't do. We only tag serie, character and artist, so the Patreon tag is only for the logo itself.
You can always downvote these images and filter them from your results. Here's a link on how you can search with an image score threshold.
Anonymous10: @Zvantastika: this being in violation of copyright law isnt a good enough reason to not allow it? patreon is kind of a loop hole in the sense that "they arent paying me for your intellectual property, they are paying me out of the kindness in their hearts" but putting a block there and saying pay me to see it, does not fit through this loop hole, is not fair use, and does break copyright law.
Otaku_H: What a bunch of pissbabies. "Wah, artists should give their art for free because I'm a precious individual that deserves everything". Grow up, shut up, close the tab, and move on; it's not like there aren't literally over two million other images available on this site.
Farfegnugen: @Otaku_H: There's a difference between giving people reason to pay and "I want your money." I like to think this falls right in the middle. If your animation/drawing is good, you will get people pay you. However, you slap the Patreon logo everywhere, you'll annoy people away. This artist has 29 patrons at $92 per month. Not bad since the drawing/animation is pretty good, but stuff like this isn't giving me any reason to give them X a month.
And the whole shit about not liking something, don't click it, shove it. People are welcome to comment on anything.
WoodEmberCinderz: @Farfegnugen: It's understandable in a sense. I met and used to chat with a guy who sold his works. But his samples lacked all that "pay to see the uncensored version" shit. In fact, he disagreed with it whole heartedly. As he said it's just a way to sweeten someone to purchase your art. He let his stuff do all the talking and persuading. This man had a main job and just sold art on the side. I understand that people don't have this and make their money anyway they can. I guess they think that this will help them to get what they need.
Anonymous11: @ korblborp, sure the more he makes a mockery of himself the better, Don't forget the fact that this is a patreon money-grab-attempt, and the people aren't paying for this BullShit. The cancer is only getting WORSE.
Farfegnugen: @WoodEmberCinderz: What sweeten the deal for me is good artwork that's unmarred by a big box that says "PAY ME!" Well, we are halfway on this one.
Anonymous12: @Zvantastika: playwatch magazine got taken down by blizzard for having a patreon to support it, and they were giving the magazine away for free!
jeeee-sus this patreon bullshit is really getting irritating to the point its worse than cancer.
