So get this: I was on Rune's discord server and I asked whether it be a good idea to publicly release new videos to the world (like on PornHub or Twitter) and have Patreon and Subscribestar for early access. I tried convincing how beneficial it would be for the artist and the supporters as well. They'll get free publicity, bring more supporters, and make more money and so on. I didn't even bother to tell them to change their prices. Couple days later, I find out that I was removed from their server, probably banned. I don't know if it was how I wrote the post, but it goes to show that Rune is heavily against the idea. I mean he does have a Facebook and Pinterest, but both is hardly used and neither have that many posts. I found this artist through leaks on the internet. And I know for a fact that he's trying his hardest now to get those leaks removed thanks to the DMCA.
I'm not upset that I removed from the Discord server (there was nothing much to look at in the first place), but I am annoyed that this artist is not doing much to evolve and adapt to the problems that he's going through right now. He doesn't post much, he charges a lot, and he doesn't even show people his WIPs along the way or anything like it. Because of these things, it's why this forum exist: there are people that are not willing to pay so much for little content, but we still enjoy his stuff and are willing to find other ways of seeing his art. If Rune doesn't do anything, I feel that he'll lose more and more supporters until he becomes irrelevant. Since I got kicked off his Discord for mentioning an idea, there's a good chance that this might here.
If you made it this far, here is a

to Rune's Kemono page. It's like Patreon, but everyone can see his art for free. Also, people can upload Rune's post(s) to this website and keep it updated. I'm imploring patrons of Rune to do exactly that so everyone who aren't patrons to see his stuff without going through that ridiculous paywall of his. Appreciate it, and thanks for reading.
