Patron Poll: Next Steps?

Added 2023-06-11 07:38:44 +0000 UTC

Hello super supporters,

This month started with a bit of a scare as my account was flagged for content. I was able to resolve my account status with Patreon, but there is no guarantee it won't happen again. Thus, I now have a secondary account on Subscribestar (LINK), and as my supporters, I would like your input on how to proceed!

I could continue to post on both patreon and subscribestar. This would give people two options to support me, but would be a bit of a messy situation if my Patreon ever did go down. In that situation, I would give Patrons a full refund and encourage them to join my Subscribestar, but it might be too much trouble for many, and would also be a confusing situation for new patrons who joined without knowledge of what happened this month or the risk adult content faces on Patreon.

I could slowly transition to Subscribestar. This option would allow people a period of time to go over to the new account before closing up shop on Patreon (sometime between Aug 1-Oct 1), and keep my previous releases accessible on Patreon until then. However, Subscribestar doesn't take Paypal or Stripe, which may be a barrier for some once my Patreon is deactivated.

I could switch over to Subscribestar at the end of this month. This option would make a hard transition on July 1. It would be a clean switch over, with the least risk for confusion. However, I don't know how many people could make this move. In addition, all my old work that isn't posted elsewhere would disappear from the internet until I found time to upload it to my website.

Other possibilities? Feel free to add your suggestions down below! Note that I'll be archiving my previously released work on ChampTehOtter.com so you will still be able to access it regardless of the outcome, though it will take some time to archive.

Thank you for voting, and for your amazing super duper support! ⭐
