How not to ask people to stop sharing your stuff.

Also, that site doesn't let you specify people you want to import from. Which I sometimes think is regrettable. But that's just why I don't import very frequently... I want people to be able to access (and ARCHIVE) things, but I'm not trying to be a dick about it unless you piss me off.
To be clear I do not back this person, just stumbled onto this post. Probably won't, if they have an attitude like that. People who leak once a year for instance (
like me) let you build up months and months' worth of posts to hold behind your annoying paywall.

Samizdat isn't bad. Not everyone is in a position to support everyone they want to, but it lets them engage with artists/writers/whatever anyway and be influenced by them. Especially for people who don't post low-res versions of images publicly (who have 'exclusives',) I see it as almost essential.
It's been said before, but people who access leaked content aren't the ones who are going to be giving you money anyway (except for sometimes, when I've actually done that because I want to support what they're doing).
Ah. I just stumbled across this. His post may be a bit rude but I can understand both sides.
At least he offers a $2 tier, though this is seems to be just a donation thing without benefits? lolz
What I like in japanese artists, that they even offer such cheap tiers like 100 JPY/month. They also offer tiers with higher prices, but THESE doesn't offer any benefits and are just there for people who can afford it to pay more. So 500 JPY/month offers the same as the 100 JPY/month one.
$1 to maybe $3 is great, so one can support many different artists. It's easier to have dozens of $1 - $3 subscriptions than maybe four $6 ones, which you might have to chancel to support another artist.
But I hate it that so many artists use Twitter to publish stuff. And paywalled stuff on Patreon.
It's a pain in the ass to find art there. You have to scroll so much to find content you might like. And then (especially Twitter) they also publish some ultra funny memes, super delicious food pictures and other irrelevant text messages and also hundreds retweets. Aaaaaah
Fanbox is also kind of bad since it works similiar.
Deviantart or Pixiv are great, though Pixiv is mostly for censored stuff.
This is why e-hentai is great. There you have Artist CG category and image set, up to 40 thumbnail rows, tags, ... nice! Also better accessible to non-japanese users, obviously. (IMG:[
