I'm really sorry to hear about your experience with my patreon. I have almost 2.500 images posted on patreon, and a total of 45 comics/series. So way more stuff than it was leaked 2 years ago (obviously more than 10-20% incerease as you say). You should have contacted me privately on patreon about your situation, instead of getting lost into scrolling through that patreon page, so I could have assembled a zip archive with my entire collection of images to date.
That top tier you're talking about was specifically made to prevent another massive leak like that one from two years ago, because my thinking was that people who pay high prices for something, are less likely to leak/share that stuff with others for free. And apparently it worked so far and hopefully it stays that way. So it was not created to trick anyone, it was simply a precautionary measure. Additionally, everytime I knew I couldn't deliver enough content in a month I simply paused all payments on patreon for that particular month, I even refunded all money to all patrons if the pledge was not fulfilled. So your accusations are a bit hasty, based on assumptions rather than facts.
In my experience, people usually treat artists (yeah, even 3d porn creators are artists) like merchants. They want to pay cheap prices, or rather nothing at all, for as much content as possible. That's not how things work. And when things get leaked you do a huge disservice to those artists since you're cutting off their income source, and eventually they'll abandon their endeavor in search of something else. And I can name a few great artstis in this niche, OGDX and Lexx228 who are on my mind right now, that have either stopped producing or reduced their production rate because of piracy. Then add the Witch Hunt started by Patreon, and very soon you'll add many more to the list, me included.
Again, I'm sorry for your experience. A simple private chat on patreon may have solved or clarified your issue.
Best regards,
LBW
