If I moved to my own website, would you come with?

Pretty simple, it's in the title.
I've been thinking about this for a while, but if I did it, I can only do one or the other, I couldn't do both... here are my reasonings, I'll try and keep each one brief, but I also know what I'm like π
1 - Patreon censorship!
You might not know this, but technically possession content is not allowed on Patreon because it can be seen as 'unconsenual sex'. I know some other creators who also have gotten suspended or banned because of this, and I'm quite afraid I'm going to wake up one day and not have a Patreon anymore, or at the very LEAST have to delete ALL my possession content off this platform. π₯
This wouldn't be good obviously, and having my OWN site would solve this! As well as if I ever want to do darker/more intense/more lewd stuff, I can!
2 - Pareon's ABSURD fees!
Patreon takes A THIRD of your money - 33%. That is HUGE compared to any other website fees... and THEN I have to pay the people that help me such as my editor and writers, and THEN I have to pay tax on TOP of that (which in Australia is a lot)... which means I see a very small percentage of what you all support me with π
So needless to say, even though with my OWN site I'd still have to pay fees, they'd be a lot less than that and I'd be better off for it!
3 - Better pirating protection!
You know how I have to do the dance of sending multiple posts per drop with links and it's all confusing?... This is for anti-piracy and it still doesn't work well, but I don't want to make it harder and more annoying for YOU guys who support me like other creators do with passwords and direct messages and all that.
On my OWN site it'd get past all that as Patreon-scraping pirate websites wouldn't work on me, and it'd make things easier for you AND me! π
4 - Streamline everything!
On top of not needing to post links and all that crap, I'd also be able to design my website how I like and properly organise all my content to make it SUPER easy to find!
Patreon's way of keeping content is a pain in the ass and very messy and confusing, so I'd be able to sort it all out for you to find exactly what you're looking for when you want it π₯°
Final thoughts:
If I did this, I'd keep it as smooth and simple of a transition as I can.
It would be the same price, you'd get emails with updates if you want them, but just be on a different site that looks different and is easier to navigate π
But this only works if I do one or the other, not both. If I had both, then all these problems of piracy, fees and censorship still happen and I just end up doubling my posting workload instead.
So if you have any questions or things you want me to clarify, please comment or message me! I'd love to hear your thoughts π
Much love,
Nexy xx

I haven't worked out the details yet, but I still definitely want to keep it at $10 max for all my work just like on Patreon π

"...If I moved to my own website, would you come with?..." Any Idea what the monthly subscription will cost than?

Well to be honest I'm still trying to work out how I want to run it in my head! π I'll be trying to run it as similar to Patreon as I can in terms of tiers, but I'm also thinking about breaking the 'tiers' apart so that people can sub to EITHER one rather than having to sub to the $10 even if they are not interested in the $5 comic... π€ I'd love to have a chat about it though if you wanna spit ball between us! Hit me up on Discord if you wanna throw some ideas around π
