Merry Christmas and things I need to talk to you
Added 2021-12-25 15:25:40 +0000 UTCHappy Noel everyone, can't still believe 2021 is 99% over already.
This post is about my apologize to you all and some new things to annouce.
Beware: wall of text.
First, I would like to send my apology to any who has been let down by my videos' quality or the models / songs/ motions choice. I admit that, I don't know Japanese, Chinese any other languages much. So everytime I choose a motion, a song and a model, I usually spend some amount of times to research on the meaning of the lyric and wonder if it would fit the model or not. But there are still cases that even when the song and the model don't fit each other that much, I still proceeded to use them together, because I think it looked good and unfortunately, maybe not all of you can think of it that way. So I'm very sorry about that.
Secondly, my video releasing speed has reduced for a while. I honestly say that, this is not always because I'm very busy. It is mostly because of the "idea": which model, which motion, which song and combination will work, I have been having to try and search a lot and it is very time-cosuming to do so. And I have to say that, maybe my speed would decrease even more in the future as there are just less and less models/motions/stages that can be safely used in R18 videos like mine. If I just simply ignore all the rules of them, maybe someday I would be caught in a drama.
Thirdly, the models poll is becoming a controversy among myself and you all, and I don't know how to solve that entirely yet. Originally, the polls was only created to decide which model will appear in the "single next video" only. But now it is clearly doesn't really seem like that any more, but: the top model will be used next video, the 2nd top model will be used in the next of next video , ... and so on. And that have been causing a problem: the models with least vote will rarely, or maybe, never be used again. So here is my temporarily resolve: I will sometimes try to choose randomly a model with not so many votes, if a song/motion appear that fit the models, I will use that model in that video.
Fourthly, Youtube. Yes I have made annouce in around September that I would return to Youtube in maybe October. But that never happened because Youtube banned both the Internet IP and the PC TMAC, so as long as I don't change my Internet Provider (which I have) and my PC's motherboard, I won't be able to return to Youtube as it would ban me again, which happened when I tried in October.
That's all my apologize to you. I will try to resolve those things at my best.
Thanks for having been my patrons, for long or just new. I'm still learning and experimenting things everyday to increase the quality of projects.
Things to announce are:
Google Drive now have a policy to automatically detele or restrict access to R18 contents so I'm planning to move to MEGA but the Transfer Quota bothers me a little, do you know any other alternative?
I'm also considering to make VR-related videos, what do you think about it?

Use a backup tool (I use syncovery) to manage the encrypted backups. I assume you are paying for unlimited storage like me, so you might as well back up your other data as well to the account. No reason for you to use it exclusively for business. Backing up personal files is important too (sometimes more so!).
2021-12-28 10:29:10 +0000 UTCThat makes sense But I sometimes find it a little inconvenience to have to download the whole rar then extract to check, but I will keep your idea in consideration

2021-12-27 10:55:44 +0000 UTCPack the files in a rar or 7z container with a pw and you're probably good to go. If its encrypted its safe from prying eyes. I also have a paid unlimited goold drive plan and have so much porn shared with encryption, google can't even tell what I am storing, they can't come after me. Or ask Yapi how he does the weird ass gumroad integration.
2021-12-27 04:55:27 +0000 UTCWait I know this creator, he has some very good works, but consider his hardcore works I think it is sensible that Patreon decided to nuke him. But anyway, SubscribeStar is a good idea for backing up my work, thanks.

2021-12-27 04:03:00 +0000 UTCHere’s a link to some evidence: https://mantis-x.net/patreon-nuked-me/ That was 2 months ago. Your content is more softcore than mantis-x’s so hopefully nothing happens but it’s good to be prepared in any case.

2021-12-26 16:46:00 +0000 UTCFor real? It happened? Well guess I have to be more careful about loli-like models
GHK MMD
2021-12-26 15:57:42 +0000 UTCYes. It’s a good backup plan in case patreon goes full prude and hates on you for a bikini rin video or something which has happened before.

2021-12-26 15:50:09 +0000 UTCDoes subscribestar allows R18 contents?
GHK MMD
2021-12-26 15:44:06 +0000 UTCThe problem is not the storage at all, but it is their newest updated policy on 21th of December that implies that any content related to R18 will be deleted or has its access limited automatically, which would affect us tremendously, that's why I have to switch to another cloud storage system.

2021-12-26 15:43:40 +0000 UTCIf Google Drive is over capacity as of June 1, 2020, it will be erased if you do not use paid storage. You can use Mega, but you can also use unlimited paid Google Drive for business. There is also a selection technique called Dropbox, but unless you use paid storage, you will run out of space. I like your work very much, including past works, so I will continue to support you even if the posting pace slows down.

2021-12-26 09:47:35 +0000 UTCOther artists I know use iwara.tv kyot.me and catbox.moe to have streaming links. Catbox has a 200mb limit on files so that's probably a no go. From what others have said mega is a pretty good idea if we exploit that import option. As far as censorship goes, it tends to happen a lot with content like this. A lot of artists seem to get booted off of patreon and youtube because of the nature of their work. You might w ant to consider having a subscribestar as a backup in case that happens to you too. Anyway, merry xmas yall.

2021-12-26 04:25:33 +0000 UTCThe character I'm most looking for is #7 in this poll, and has been roughly in that position for a while now, but at this posting pace and this ranking, does that mean I can safely assume that there will be very few videos in the future?
DDD
2021-12-25 20:33:42 +0000 UTCThe Quota for the plan I'm planning to use is 2TB/month, meaning if 200 people download a 1GB video a day, for Quota will reach its limit in about just 10 days like that and it won't be reset until next month.

2021-12-25 16:15:21 +0000 UTCI ordered a Quest 2, as soon as it arrives I will start research on it.

2021-12-25 16:14:13 +0000 UTCI personally don't see any problem with the quality of the videos nor the production speed as of late and the whole model poll.. Honestly i always saw it as a "kay, this is the next videos model". It is nice to have the option to vote for a model, but imho, it is a "nice +" but not a necessary option. I did not personally start supporting you for the option to vote, so i would not mind it being changed or otherwise removed. Youtube.. well, it is what it is.. In regards to the Mega thing, as far as i remember, the download limit is 5 gb, and resets daily if not earlier. So unless you plan to release every day, then i do not see it being a problem. I have never had problems downloading a bunch from Mega, it just takes some planning if you are going over the 5 gb daily limit. Anyway, Merry Christmas!
2021-12-25 16:01:37 +0000 UTCHello, and Merry Christmas ! :) About your concerns about video quality, imho you don't have to worry, at least as far as I'm concerned I'm very happy with your videos :) As for point #2, while it's sure that I would happily enjoy it if there were more videos, I don't see the current realising speed as problematic, as long as quality is there. And it is :) About #3 well I think that like everything, it requires balance. Balance between what models you want to use, and what models your supporters wants to see. For #4 i personally don't mind, and am not very interrested on youtube, but thx for info :) About Mega, i use it a lot and would be delighted if you were to use it instead of Google Drive. Never had any problem with it. And most importantly, at least for me, i'm very hyped about the tought of future VR videos ! :)
