Also, to get most of Patreon's actual content you rely on someone actually sharing their DM content. Otherwise it's mostly pic teasers.
Yeah the amount of people who send the links via DMs is a lot higher. Although kemono does have an import DM option, 99.8% of importers seem to not know this. A lot of people making koikatsu cards went that route
, (which only made me more intent on leaking it for making me go through hoops to get my stuff I paid for )
Other stuff like images/artwork I've seen some uploading some of the stuff onto e-hentai/panda again like I used to, specifically fanbox/fantia stuff, since I've given up on the importers working for them anymore.
Movies/videos are more iffy, as pornhub/xham/xvid/etc are a bitch to leak shit on now since they're willing to bend over for DMCA requests
even from randos making content with licensed characters for $$$ now. (Imo anyone making content with stuff they don't own the trademark to is free game to be pirated, its not their creative work they're lewding in the first place).
Subscribestar's protections are such that people wanting to share/archive them are better off doing it manually (again, by uploading them to panda/e-hentai or the new 8muses forums like we used to do).
Anyone trying to share/archive content should just manually upload it for now. I've got a spare external to back up all my shit in case some creator spergs and nukes their support sites anyhow. I recommend others who actually pay for stuff even if they don't want to leak it to have it downloaded with a backup file as well.
