Yiff.Party, My Content & Artist Career
🕑 Added 2018-01-21 23:06:14 +0000 UTC While I understand posting stuff online commonly leads to being pirated, stolen, leaked, or whatever similar activity as a consequence to having paid-for content, this is something that is really concerning in the mindset of some people.I was notified that all of my content had been stolen via a export/import tool that this website called yiff[dot]party used. This however doesn't affect me in any way since I have CLEARLY stated that ALL of my content will go public, while my patrons get to view them first and foremost.
However, this does affect other Patreon artists out there. If you truly enjoy their work, this isn't the way to support them to continue doing what they spend hours every day working on. Being an artist is a legitimate job - it takes hours, dedication, focus, literally sitting down on a chair for about 5-12 hours a day. It isn't "just a hobby" just because they have fun drawing, whether it be SFW or porn, it's no minor task.
The hours are still hours, the years of practice are still years, the electricity that powers their tablets need to keep running, and their mugs need to constantly be filled with coffee and tea.
To those who are in the same boat; I don't know how we'd be able to keep ourselves safe from this, especially to those who rely on their Patreon as a career. I've only got little ideas where you could somehow encrypt passwords to your images and alike. But please, never stop what you love doing just because there's people on the internet who pull utterly terrible things like these on you. You're not alone on this if you're suffering from this mess.
And to those who are part of them;
Don't be this kind of human being. Just be a little patient.

Someday, I will be rich enough to sue them all, and go after the site-creators of this feeble-minded garbage fire. Artists deserve recognition of their talents, and they deserve the right to make a living off of the hard-earned skills they've worked years or even decades for.
That really sucks

I wish I could like this post multiple times over! It really is sad that this keeps happening to people, and I hope that it will end one day. But that's just wishful thinking, asa there are so many sites that have so much stolen content, I don't think it will stop anytime soon :(
