Regarding page future and policy changes
Added 2023-07-13 16:38:57 +0000 UTCSo, regarding the new policy on fanbox, one of many we have to deal almost on a weekly basis.
I can no longer share links to cloud storage. I'm up to hear your thoughts first. Feel free to comment, PM or write me an e-mail. I also want to tell what I can offer, and what I have in mind as well.
AI people are in trouble here too.
From me: I'm not happy with the platform, but I still need it.
I have 3~4 times the work of posting files since I need to keep small resolution posts for pixiv, and other social media. And the censorships.
On the other hand, I could just keep the way we've been doing, with censored images... and that's it. No more zipped files.
For you: it's way more simple if I remove the paywall of my work, but the question is, would you support me here, regardless? Are you paying to support me as an artist, or - without a problem since it's a product/service business - exclusively for my content? This is a hard question for you and for me.
I'm considering to share everything elsewhere but timegate the newer content here. There are other options as well. I probably talked with a handful of artists here before even starting this post, to consider some thoughts.
So, to finish, blablabla drama blablabla I've been working with nsfw for 5~6 years and it's not the first time. I'm used to. Just tired. Ah and fun fact: I didn't sign an exclusivity contract. I'm not producing content that is owned by fanbox. Just so everyone knows.
*sighs*
edit: I will explode this post in 5 days or something.

By timegating, are you referring to the act of releasing your art (censored or not) later in public after it was posted on your site in the first place ? If it's that, it's pretty popular for a lot of artist I know, like Nearphotison for example and it's working well

2023-07-18 07:48:56 +0000 UTCI agree with that proposition of continuing to use this site, pretty known and I think you have your public, and sending link of the uncensored draw by private message to who want to see it.

2023-07-18 07:48:24 +0000 UTCOne thing I can think about is you posting post on a paywall here and putting a message or code, then people can contact you with that message as prouve they pay on another site you post your stuff for access to the uncensored content
2023-07-15 13:56:32 +0000 UTCIt would honestly suck to see only your censored artwork. Could you share the non censored by private messages? Is that a proper solution?
2023-07-15 13:54:12 +0000 UTCIt really sucks these keep happening, we really need a safe place where we can just keep sharing our arts without worrying about outside things. I can see Pixiv is mostly focusing on AI artists rather than human ones from wjat I read of the new policies - but yeah, external link thing is still a pain to deal with.
