I still love you, Judas.
🕑 Added 2018-04-04 04:02:38 +0000 UTC One (or more) of you has been posting my content on yiff-party.Based on the posts that have appeared there, and the fact that my account is set to pay-up-front, it has to be a "patron in good standing" who is doing this; somebody with access to at least the $3 tier. That's a pretty small list of suspects, so it probably wouldn't be difficult to figure out who the culprit is. But I'm not going to waste my time investigating. There are plenty of other things to keep me busy, plus I don't want to know who it is. That knowledge would only make me sad. There is nothing I can do to stop you other than saying "please don't do that."
I have no way of measuring the cost vs benefit of having my work posted in surprising and unauthorized places where I don't get paid for it. The "support this artist" link is nice, but I seriously doubt it has generated any patronage for me. Because, y'know, I don't post porn here. So the joke is definitely on them.
Anyway, please share this post with my pirate fans because I want them to know:
The full Tegerio experience can only be had by Patrons.
Over there, you're out in the cold - spying through the window at a warm & glorious banquet taking place within. You can see the fun happening but you can't participate in it. You can't request a Doodle from your pirate website. You can't interact with me from your pirate website. You can't ask my characters questions or influence my story decisions with insightful comments from your pirate website. (You also can't help keep me out of the poorhouse from your pirate website.) I have a whole lot more going on here than just posted content to be consumed, and THAT is the reason you should stop hiding in the shadows. Come forth into the light, and pledge. You'll love it.

I think just like in video game or movies, there's the crowd of people who pay for them, and those who make a point to pirate them. Hopefully those are two distinct populations and your pledges won't suffer.

I, for one, shall continue support, on the basic principle that you draw quality stuff, and it should be encouraged. So there.
AMEN, BROTHER! Thanks for your support.

Well dude. Even with someone posting your stuff I'm not going to stop donating via Patreon or the odd commission here and there. You got to support the people you follow.
It's a website entirely dedicated to reposting artists' Patreon content so people can view it for free. For some reason they don't think of this as stealing, even though the content was originally locked behind a barrier with a price tag on it. They don't consider how it dilutes the market value of that art, reducing the artist's ability to monetize their work .. because apparently they think artists don't DESERVE to get paid for what we do. They're just killing the goose that laid the golden egg, because if I can't make a living at this then I'm going to have to quit & get a regular job, and then there won't be any Tegerio art to steal.

Nope. Anger leads to Hate Hate leads to Suffering.

Just checked the site... apparently it's a patreon ripper π€π ... whatever. π€¦ At a cursory glance it seems to be stuff you can get for $2 or less. Whatever. *sigh* I don't even know if i should get angry anymore.

For the record i dunno what yiff-party is. I know what yiff is but thats it.
