Yiff.party is down or gone?

[262177]

RD8K Seeing what was the most honest doujinka turn into a shameless money launderer also is quite nauseating, especially when the idiots supporting them casually throw USD$50 emotes at them 'for their hard work' (when they actually do nothing at all). They're not even using the usual made-up excuses like COVID, just saying "I'm sorry I didn't make it in time this month" every single month, only to post an automated "freebie" at exactly midnight "to make up for it", when what it means is "I trolled you, now you're going to have to change plans and pay your entire membership all over again from day 1", for both Enty and Fantia.

Over 5 years, that's 60 months of support every single month. And they still repay it without a single complaint. Mind control shouldn't be a fetish anymore - there's nothing left to control. Brains are dead. People are here to be exploited and abused, and only a handful actually see it coming. The ones who pirate aren't just the ones who can't afford to support, but also the ones who want them to either become honest again or become homeless and dying on the streets without any means of income by getting them banned from all of the platforms they copy and paste on.

I am a kind soul and I think of others before myself, but I can also be ruthless and merciless when such nefarious mindset changes show up. And I might eventually end up being jaded enough to think that people deserve to be exploited because they're stupid, but I hope not, because that means I'll have lost all of my humanity - at least all of my empathy, and that's what makes me human.

Sorry for the rant, but thought another insight on piracy might be appreciated.

Spoiler: Ranting about Axsens Scumbags practices on Gumroad and how it a rip off.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

However that wasn't my point I'm wanted to tell here. It was the fact that people deserved to get pirated for offering egregious prices for subpar content. If I was one of those people who had money to burned I would've spend $8000 to buy all those packs and share them into every pirate site known to man as a fuck you. Even though I lost thousands of dollars doing so, I manage to save hundreds or thousands of people for burned $8000 dollars for that content. So they may think its a lost in my end but its actually a win long term. Because that money given from one individual ain't going last long if they don't have that many people supporting them for the long road.

Empathy is a finite resource, don't go wasting it on fools...

I blame Sakimichan. All the artists working with Photoshop started by following her; therefore, they also reproduced her absurd plan of locking past month works. I hate that, and leak everything I can with joy.

Yup Sakimichan is the blame for all this. Patreon was supposed to be treated as a donation/support site for artists/creators you like. Not a main income but something you can do on the side. Because of her successful model and how she can make a living off of Patreon. Every artists started looking at it thinking "they can be the next Sakimichan" then they all process to copy her model and not knowing HOW she got successful by that business model in the first place. Plus looking at Sakimichan Gumroad page, it has the same issues I have with Axsens, but instead of $60 dollars its $70 fucking dollars.

Every single time their money involve within a hobby. It just turn it into greed, bring in egotistical people who are doing it for the money, and it no longer for the passion of creating/drawing unique things. Which is why you see creators/artists half the time burned out for trying not to miss deadlines. Due to treating Patreon as their main income to live off of.

This is a quote I would like to borrow if you don't mind. I am really glad to see my fellow pirates also have empathy and feel like they might end up running out of it, and this terrifies them as this means no more humanity left.

Yes, that's also the case, and just like resubscribing to Enty/Fantia, you don't even know if it's still there anymore, and end up going "what the fuck? I've been subscribing for 5 years, and now I need to pay 60 months of posts that have literally nothing inside just to subscribe for the next month, and next month it'll be the same thing again because this thing will keep considering I've never ever supported the creator?!"

Honest creators on Fantia will use the timegate very sparingly, and always warn you before you change plans (as this will entirely reset your membership). They will also warn you that backnumbers indeed require you to be subscribed to the corresponding paid plans, so you can't just get a previous month without first supporting another month all over again.

Even more honest creators just won't use it at all, and either charge a slightly larger amount to get the entire backlog (so you can effectively tip them when you can afford it while still being fair to everyone when you come back) or charge a set amount and give access to the entire backlog immediately, whether you supported before or not. The latter will also encourage you to use the free plan first, and even try it out if you don't have a Fantia account by giving away free pics as previews of the stuff they make (and will also let you know they value the fact people come to see their stuff and are thankful for your interest, not how much you pay for it). This is how a fan club tipjar works. Tip what you want, when you want, if you can, when you feel like it, without penalties, without the creator being tied to virtual promises or deadlines. Everyone wins. Needless to say, these deserve true support.

The rarest kind is the one also disabling social tippings, which makes Fantia really mad, but they still had to add a very hidden "disable all social tippings" feature after a huge riot happened. I link to that feature on every plan I support for creators to know about it if they don't want such things - as this is indeed people tipping with emoji and competing in a bragging rights contest. You can still reaction-emote if that's your kink, just not post paid emotes anymore to show off - you can still show off by overpaying since that one cannot be disabled at all.

To get back on the topic of Gumroad, yeah, I've heard of the Sakimichan bs. And the bitch's popular. If there's some kind of pay point ranking on Gumroad, then I guess that's another "let's see who's Sakimichan's most loyal walking ATM".

The tl;dr on Gumroad is people as usual are contributing to the issue. If they boycott those creators and force them to become honest or face consequences, the community wins. But lazy rich people are legion. And lazy rich people rarely have a brain, mostly because working your ass off to make ends meet helps you get a better idea of how hard it is to "make a living". See also the double standards with creators before and during the "twitter riot", before: "it's not even my main income", during: "I'm gonna starve to death because of you!"

A tipjar isn't a kickstarter or a crowdfunding project. A milestone doesn't make it a crowdfunding project, it's a personal milestone to drive motivation. If you want to crowdfund or kickstart something, you do it fair and square. Dishonest people will get pirated, and they will deserve it. We will regret nothing, because we have all paid and been scammed by such people.

Yes, pirates have standards. In fact, most people in this thread have more empathy than 90% of content creators. Not just because they pirate and leak, but because they also share stuff they like, and honest creators will appreciate the free advertising if it's done right. As for dishonest ones, they just deserve to fall if they refuse to become honest and remain criminals. Pirating stuff is illegal, but so is extorting money from backers in many, many shady ways.

I noticed paywall.party/kemono/ isn't working.
Is it because it's being reworked/replaced by something else at the moment?

 

[WAH]

When is Kemono going to stop throttling downloads?

Now we need one hero to leak artists like Zeronis. He rellies stronly on distributing his rewards via DMs. So far this worked really well in his favor as not many of his recenbt works can be found in the Internet plains.

As far as I can tell, the importer still has trouble grabbing DMs (you can check this from recently grabbed artists). That's weird though as Patreon's broken system makes it rather easy, and no matter how much they'll pay using bugbounty or whatever - wouldn't even consider zerodium when moral ethics are under attack.

When is Kemono going to stop throttling downloads?

Tell China to stop downloading en masse and tell Shinonome to use a cloud or peer distribution based approach.
I know, neither will happen, everyone wants their porn here and now and doesn't even realize without importers, they have nothing to download. In China's case though, they just want easy money from repaywalling it.

Can't exactly download from some database 'backup'.

No clue, sorry, but good riddance if it's gone, that thing was some useless 4chan-tier thing.

Appreciated, thanks, heh. Don't worry about the credit part, I feel the same way about this.

China is a real cancer for the Internet.

When we have enough servers to handle people doing an enormous amount of them simultaneously. Maybe this month if the planned upgrades happen and go well.

DMs have to be manually approved, so they are coming in more slowly - but they are indeed being archived.

Well I for one didn't mind commenting on it when it worked.
It was also the easiest way I could make requests.
Whatever they replace it with, I hope it's good because I haven't been able to make a request there in months.

 

[Thotfodder]

So... apparently kemono.party's forum was replaced with ThePornDude...
I don't know how I feel about that considering it's NOT a forum and just a bunch of links to websites where you CAN'T make requests or send feedback to kemono.party!

I guess I'm a little (for a lack of a better word) disappointed.

Not really "replaced," the link to Partychan was just removed because the board is non-functional.
A new discussion site is coming very soon.

Ah, alright. Yeah, figured there might be some... issues. Thanks for the reply on this Shino.

The placeholder

You must be registered to see the links

link on Kemono serves more or less the same purpose and is public if that's what you meant.

Sorry if my post was rude (and sorry again if this one is) but except for - as you mentioned - the stickied request thread, almost everything else was a standalone "please post X" or meme single-post thread. Discord isn't much better on that aspect, being 99% shitposting and reactions and 1% actual tech discussion + issues, way worse than Twitter itself.

Picture attachments are broken though and will only fetch pictures that already exist (if something is uploaded and has the same filename, it'll give the illusion it works, as filenames are uploaded as is instead of using at least some kind of hash) apparently.

Just noticed ThePornDude as well on top but thought it was for additional ad revenue.

(And yes, the requests being a placeholder isn't exactly much of an issue as people can't read a simple guide on how to grab an user ID, with bookmarklets or with a javascript snippet - or directly from the page source, really.)
