In light of Dandon's disappearance and I do hope she is o.k. whatever the reason or case, it got me thinking - What sort of system (if any) does Patreon have in place in the case of a Patreon member passing away without warning? I mean, I cannot see the family of said member contacting Patreon to tell them. I do hope she is o.k. but it is very odd of her to not even write a message if it is burn out or holiday etc.

Simbro's dev is allegedly already six feet deep and their Patreon page still making some money. Their last post was in 2018 and with almost 4075 members, whoever took control of the account still made $220 monthly.

So, no, I don't think Patreon really cares about a creator's disappearance... yet. I think if Patreon cares about its own customers they would inform that the creator has not creating/posting anything and asking if you're sure to pledge to the creator anyway despite content drought.

From what I know browsing this forum and following various threads there are a few artists whose Patreon page was basically cancelled, meaning they still exists as Patreon users without having their content page (this happened to a couple of creators that were involved in the Ukrainian war and stopped posting, but it's unclear if they just deleted everything or Patreon did after some time of inactivity).

As for Dandon's billing... the next billing date is still set on September 1st; and since I've had a few minutes to spare, I checked her social media and, to quote a wonderful book and its movie adaptations, "All quiet on the western front".

September 1st of 2024? I'm not sure whether or not that's a wise decision to set the billing date two months overdue
My bad didn't read it through XD

I checked on her bi-weekly and there hasn't been anything substantial posted. Eh, I guess periodically sending out a message wouldn't hurt that much

Every time she has taken time off for whatever reason, she has messaged her Patreon members accordingly, which makes this huge amount of silence from her alarming. Every page of hers, Patreon, Twitter, DeviantArt etc, have all gone silent. It would be a huge shame to see someone of such immense artistic talent give up doing what she loved, on the back of some neck beards with zero artistic talent themselves, accuse her of using AI for her art work.

Tbf I would also be upset if I saw guys like , who is training Lora's on my artstyle making a living out of it. Like who wouldn't be mad if your artstyle and all your hard work you have been perfecting over multiple years gets replicated in a couple of seconds, also the fact that people are starting to value less art made by humans because most of the time AI generated stuff just looks better for your average joe. Also their revenue are being threatened in the long run by all the AI artists wannabe vomiting their AI art on every social media platform. There is also this kind of website that leaks her shit for free and some users still find the guts to shit talk Dandon like she owes them something. No wonder she is taking a break or left for good I can't blame her, being a digital artist nowadays must suck.

I honestly think it might be a last draw for her, she probably saw a lot of comments on her work about it and it hurt. I don't know why she stopped I just hope she is fine and doing something good for her.

Yeah you see shit like this and it makes total sense why some artists are changing up their styles or drawng comics instead of pinups. Then people that are stealing their work anyway complain when they don't get what they want (pinups) or accuse them of using AI.
Pin ups are still amazing. Unless like sciamano you do infinite variants of the same damn pose. Add stuff, dammit. Like wet skin, cum, etc. I'm pretty sure that dando has a file of that stuff since she mostly uses the same layers for milking breasts etc so she might as well add more variants just of that just to spice it up.

Dude, people are really sleeping on AI. Seeing this makes me think there will be 0 jobs for humans WAY SOONER than most people are expecting.
