About the Image Packs Reward Distrubution Format
Added 2020-07-16 02:22:50 +0000 UTCI am not going to continue to direct link image packs to open Reward Tier Page Posts any longer.
I am returning to the Mass Direct Message Format like ALMOST EVERY OTHER CONTENT CREATOR/ARTIST DOES for their core content reward distribution every month.
👉 Understand, that If you were not here to support a Image Pack's creation from 4 to 6 months to 3+ YEARS AGO, then you do not get to have the reward for free.
You are expected to go to that Content Creators/Artist's optional platforms to pay for the older content you were not there to support at that time.
->ZELO LEE, SOLLYZ(haruz/Naka) and more all use this format for core reward distribution.
❗ Single/etc works to my Patreon Exclusive Post Content will still remain the same format. ❗
Only Image Packs will be moved back to the Private/Direct Message distribution format.

I think I understand what he's saying. I think he's asking about a problem that may occur if someone pledged after the 5th, where they wouldn't get the pack for that month, but still have paid for it. I remember having pledged in the middle of the month myself, and was lucky enough that the old system was still in place, so I could grab that month's pack. Would you be making sure that any pledges after the 5th (and 15th for character packs) be getting the content they paid for?

2020-07-16 16:08:16 +0000 UTCit's not what I meant I was meaning that when we "subscribe" we pay for the month then on the first of the month coming up we pay again so if the previous month work is gone the newcomer would pay twice for one pack that's what I was meaning...

2020-07-16 16:06:35 +0000 UTCJust PM me. (Exactly...)

2020-07-16 13:55:06 +0000 UTCI am actually quite honestly reeling from all the anxiety I have right now. I typed up some explanation of what I meant about all of this, probably to vent some frustrations of mine, and most definitely to get my actual point across (and also explain why I'm such a social failure that can't seem to compose himself in social situations), and now I'm too scared to say it. I'm too scared that you'll ban me like countless other have done before for speaking my mind, even when I try to do it as politely as I possibly can. I guess what I'm asking is...permission to speak freely? And it's fine if you say no because you're annoyed or just don't want to deal with my shit- I'm reeling again. I promise that whatever I say will be as polite as I can possibly manage and the last thing I say on this thread; I just have to get it out of my system. (BTW, if you want the older MBI packs to sell more, you might want to remove the posts that contain the download links, or, if you can't, make the download links invalid; I've already gotten far more value out of $30 than I should have)

2020-07-16 13:40:26 +0000 UTCThe only thing that makes sense here is the bundle sale idea. Thank you for that.

2020-07-16 13:09:00 +0000 UTCMaybe because I have been doing this for years???

2020-07-16 13:08:37 +0000 UTCThank you for the feedback, but please understand no one here is forcing to you do anything. If you cannot afford something then save your money. Stay safe.

2020-07-16 12:58:09 +0000 UTCThis kind of process literally doesn't exist/works nowhere else in the world when it comes to purchasing items. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy $600-$1275 worth of items from anywhere. Nowhere has it been stated that I'm giving away that much content away to newcomer to my site. People do not buy GTAV expecting to get GTA1 2 3 4 VC San Andreas, etc for free after buying GTAV. Sales on Gumroad are fine I and I have already planned on doing that at some point in the future. It is not something super easy to manage and handle by myself. I am not a company, I don't have professional agents/assistants/helpers/etc guiding me in the right direction for marketplace management.

2020-07-16 12:55:22 +0000 UTCWell, shit. I mean, I know you have to make a living and all (and I mean no disrespect to you at all, and I can't stress that enough, because I've offended far too many people in the past and I hate fucking up all the time), and I can't argue with that, but I really find it a bit daunting to pay about $600 to buy previous packs that aren't still linked in previous posts ($1275, if you've now gotten rid of those posts). I've never really held down a job for very long, and never really made much from jobs I've had in the past. Even now, with a $15/hour job, I still feel financially weak, and don't quite know how I feel about paying $600 to obtain the rest of the packs that I'm missing. Might it be a good idea to think about bundling older MBI packs and selling those at a discount (Character packs are fine as they are)? Like in groups of 5 with a 20% discount ($60 for Core, $120 for Ultimate, maybe $80 for the first bundle Ultimate [as the first 3 packs don't have Ultimate editions])? I really feel like that sort of system would make it easier for those of us with money problems of our own to consider buying older packs instead of pirating them as us poor are wont to do. Again, not saying you don't deserve the money, but money's kinda thin these days for everyone. I legitimately want your work, and I want you to be compensated for it, but I also don't want to screw myself over financially in doing so. It's all a tough balancing act, and having slightly lower prices on older packs might help make it easier to balance.

2020-07-16 12:46:11 +0000 UTCA character pack can be worth up to $20 sometimes and here its still available at the flat rate of $10...

2020-07-16 12:40:47 +0000 UTCPeople on my Patreon are already getting way more than what they could ever get for extra on my Gumroad. You pay $15 for a core pack and get $12-20 extra Character packs FOR FREE each month you support me?
DarkViperBara
2020-07-16 12:38:21 +0000 UTCThat is all a unnecessary extra step for me to do each month that literally nobody else that uses site does. Why should I do it if nobody else is doing it or "has" to do it"? Nobody is forcing anyone to select the higher priced tiers you know that right?
DarkViperBara
2020-07-16 12:36:14 +0000 UTChmmm how about leaving the previous month one? IF you want to give a freeby or are we being charged right when we click the button... so maybe 2?
Stoomper
2020-07-16 10:04:59 +0000 UTCIt's been pretty well used, but some Patreon users came to me asking for stuff from years ago instead of going to my Gumroad... it was time to shut that down.

2020-07-16 06:24:31 +0000 UTCfinally! now your shop will be used again
