Honestly, I know it's not fair that all the work you did (and your team) are given to everyone for free (I think you should be compensated enough and I will greatly do it if I win the lottery) but you can't really prevent it (people will always find a way, trust me, I'm in the warez industry since decades), so the fact that you actually go way further and actually interact with the "pirate" community is a big plus for me, so big that I subscribed to your work (despite being the one that make torrent for it, yeah, don't be mad of me. Well, I accept that you dominate me to punish me but let's not go too far
).
But as far as personal, I wouldn't ever have learnt about your work if it wasn't for F95 and i wasn't really fan of it at first (cartoony and such), but it really grew into me so I subscribed.
So your approach is good I think, you can't prevent people for sharing (even Netflix can't) but you gave a big plus. The other thing is, even if you don't like archivist and sharing people (rightfully so), many of your work "may" be lost because of banning (see Redmoa early work or the great PH ban / mega ban) archivist usually save them for free.
But yeah, as bothersome it is, since you can't really prevent it, at least you add enough value worth subscribing for, your work is really good and I hope you will improve, despite some challenge (I read about some complain about sound that's you're 80 % deaf or something and I hope people will actually help you to make even better content that you actually provide!)
