How long until it goes the way of Patreon?
Whe do artists go for audience outreach now dedicated art sites like DA put up more and more draconian rules every month?

Get woke, go broke is slowly consuming everything
But how can you really fight against payment providers blacklisting your company due to violence against imaginary women.
What?
When people grow some fucking balls and brings this up to the supreme court. It's unacceptable that banks refuse service while also holding a completely deadlocked monopoly. It's an actual violation of rights that people can be deplatformed and depersoned to this extent.
wasn't subscribe star literally set up because Patreon kept kicking out various NSFW creators
Yes, also the reason why its set up in russia with the downside of using russian payment providers that are kinda sketchy.
Patreon has started to harass content creators to remove content that violates their ToS without telling them what images and what exactly in them violates it.
They also go back on their word, they used to assure fictional images wouldn't be affected but now fictional, drawn incest and sexual violence is 2bad
It's not very realistic. The reason places like Patreon get draconian is that credit card companies and Paypal retire their support. The solution is simply to stop using those and get an alternative way of payment. SubscribeStar doesn't use Paypal for that very reason, and other sites don't use "currency" directly, like ko-fi.
Even if SubscribeStar fails, we should just keep moving, we shouldn't just let ourselves be censored.
Now the real problem is faggots willing to stay in the damn platform instead of moving or fighting back, either by accommodating their works to Patreon, ie self-censorship or by simply not having to worry because their content is safe. The saying of "if you are not with me you are against me" was never more true.
When do we get a ripping site like lamented yiff.party for Subscriberstar?
Deviantart is getting draconian? Weren’t they known for their edgy, unusual and experimental art all these years? What changed?
When you stop being poor
When you start to donate for the server costs.
Alternatively hope that some Exhentai user has a gallery he updates monthly.
Pay content creators. It was good yiffparty died.
I'm surprised subscribestar has been able to avoid the long arm of the credit card company censors.
If Subcribestar fails then the only alternative I see would be Libra succeeding. Quite unlike popular idiocy maintains, it's not designed to be centrally controlled by facebook or prone to censorship ... but facebook supporting it could cause normie adoption, which "normal" cryptocurrencies aren't getting any time soon.
I just made one today because fuck Pateron. All I want is a donation box that won't cancel me for porn.
Problem is, SS is basically early day Pateron, so I have my worries shit's going to go south in the next 3-4 years.
Literally every patreon-alternative site runs into the same problems patreon does. The problem is not, nor has it ever been, patreon. It's the money processing services that they have to use in order to actually accept payments. The big problems are the credit card companies. Blaming places like patreon or subscribestar is shooting the messenger.
I guess you're right, but since the damage has been done with Patreon, the only outlook is to have these sites find better ways to have money not be cockblocked by these credit card companies when it shouldn't be in their control how people get money if it's clearly not illegal.
I think it also targets stuff like hypno and tranformation fetishes, they basically dictate what exualities are acceptable
Who cares, if you are a NSFW artists worth a damn, you should move to Pixiv Fanbox, only drag is that you MUST censor genitalia because japanese law and such, and you CANNOT link or host uncensored versions there.
There's a patreon alternative called Sponsus that I've been following. It literally started with the ethos of like "patreon is banning people like porn artists and right-wing podcasters because they're evil censors, MY website won't do that!"
And then once they actually got to the stage where they needed to work with credit card companies to be able to accept charges they quickly realized that, oh shit, I'm going to have to do that too.
>cucking yourself to the eternal jap
fuck no
this
people also tend to ignore that what is acceptable in their country, won't be in others. When these sites expand their userbase, they tend to adere to as many common laws as possible. It's why youtube, being so enormous, tends to punish lgbt content, sexual or not
Ironically, I am not optimistic about the the current court on that front.
>thinking you are goona thrive on subscribestar
Let's face it, yes, Patreon is a piece of shit cesspool, yes, they i incredibly leftard, yes, they are censorious and draconian, and ANYTHING you want under the sun.
But its just like all those so called alternatives to the big corpo sites to Twitter and Youtube, THEY ALWAYS DIE! why? BECAUSE NORMIES, YES, THE FUCKING NORMIES AS USUAL!.
>The solution to porn-unfriendly services is to switch to one that forces you to censor genitals not by TOS but by an actual law.
>Normies are so retarded they want to see porn ONLY if they are censored
This is why your post is retarded, because even if you're right, it defeats the ever living point of porn and using Pixiv for money. I'm not a jap, I want my porn un fucking censored since I spent time drawing the damn genitals, and normies shouldn't just lap up Japcock just because they are japs and their laws are their laws, retarded laws that was outdated for over 20+ years as is.
But, Fanbox allowd Loli.
SubscribeStar is not too clear whatever it does or not.
Most people went to Patreon for loli artists, but now that site has woke mode activated, many artists cant post nor share there, and yes, they do spy what you do on other sites.
And that is why making money for non-jap porn artists is worthless and a bygone time UNLESS you dont draw loli, otherwise, dont expect to be making more then 80 bucks per month.
shouldnt me move this to /ic/?
