Remember when I said I'd update you lovely patrons weekly? Me too.

Obviously I've been a little distracted by being lazy but also searching a new job. There is still a couple of changes to the website. One being the enforcement of verification, which has removed some videos from the website to protect the site from hosting underage videos.

On the upload page there is now warnings for when people aren't verified. They warn about not being allowed to upload nudity when unverified. There is also extra notes at the category options about how videos should be categorized.

A new support portal has been created. The previous one was self-hosted and just... didn't work. It didn't sent email out correctly and in general just didn't give a very pleasant experience, for both front- and back-end. The new portal is hosted by Freshworks, and uses their product Freshdesk. It's fully featured, fully free, and even allows just direct email contact. Ever need help? https://inflatevids.freshdesk.com/ or mail tube.inflatevids@gmail.com - yes, it is Gmail.

The last update is a fix for people being able to view videos when the user uploaded a video blocked for unregistered visitors and even private videos. There were still search engine tags that would display which made people able to search their browser inspector and access the generated URLs where videos are hosted.

I am not sure what will be updated next. Patreon login is being looked into.

Ah yes, the stats. Since last update (1st of February):
