BEEP! BOOP! Bye bye bots!

You might notice that my total has dramatically dropped. This was after I deleted a load of scraper bots. If I deleted your pledge by mistake, contact me directly. However I very much doubt I've done this. If I did, you have an email address no sane human would use and you scare me.

I wouldn't mind so much as people stealing from Patreon is to be expected. There is nothing stopping you making pledges then backing out after you download everything. But the shit-monglers that made these bots clearly made them go for the most expensive payment option available in hope to get all of the content. This means the total is over inflated and limited reward slots are taken up by some freeloading jizz-gobbler's shitty bot.

So yeah, we are back under the $800 mark. The upshot of this is a bit less work for me. Yay!

Sadly there's little you can do to stop this other than delete the obvious bot emails. Except maybe hope that the people who do this fall under a train and suffer a slow, messy death.
