Another one of these — just gotta get some important stuff off my chest.

#1 - Tip Jar

A bunch of you, both here and on other platforms, have asked me about setting up a tip jar or ways to support me with a bigger amount.

And the short answer is: I’m not doing a tip jar, EVER.
I really appreciate the love and support, seriously, but I’m totally fine with how things are. This whole thing is a side project for me where I can share my work, and I just wouldn’t feel right taking money without giving something back.

The only thing I might do down the line is a higher tier with some extra perks, that’s probably as far as I’ll go.

#2 - Limited Content

I’ve thought about this for a while, and this feels like the right move to protect myself.
Basically, I’ve decided to start deleting older content from my Patreon. From now on, only the last 3 months of content will stay up—anything older than that will be removed.

The reason’s pretty simple: less content means less of a target for Patreon to ban me. I know it might sound kinda dumb, but that’s just how it is. Bans can be random, and what’s okay today might suddenly not be okay in six months.
So yeah, to give them less of a reason to come after me, I’ve made this decision.

#3 - Content Leaking!

Yeah, I know my stuff gets leaked. I’m fully aware, and no, there’s not much I can do about it.
This happens to pretty much every Patreon creator, no matter how big or small. You just can’t stop it. Let’s be real, we’ve all pirated something at some point, so I can’t be too mad. Still sucks for me, though. That’s just the way it is.

I can say “please don’t leak my stuff,” but let’s be honest, most people who do it don’t care. I’ve already banned a few, and I’ll keep banning anyone I catch. (Some of them are really not that smart, by the way.) I’ve even got my eye on someone right now… they’re still subbed.

That’s all for today. See you next time!
