Fanbox Policy Update (Pixiv Fanbox)
Content
On the one hand we can see the latest policy change as Pixiv trying their hardest to force artists like me off the Fanbox platform. On the otherhand it might just show how hard it is to please the paypal payment gods.
Regardless of why, starting today Fanbox creatives are not allowed to link to external storage for works that they deem 'obscure'. Wether this will effect my Fanbox i've yet to see, but the likelyhood is high, there is just something about me i guess ;-).
So we need to be proactive here. How can we get around this situation, and what are we trying the achieve.
🥰 First Fanbox is a place for you to show your support for my artwork which i am greatful for every month.
🤤 Secondly Fanbox is a place to post some exclusive works as a thank you for the support. This has been getting more and more challanging Thanks to the policy change.
So there are a few possibilities moving forward.
1. Close the Fanbox and maybe find an alternative place. Problem is i dont think there is anywhere else.
2.Keep the fanbox page and post NO content on it. It would be the most VANILLA place in the universe. Maybe still tease work available elsewhere and run the monthly challange polls, but no links to exclusives.
3. Keep the Fanbox as support and social front page. Create some other page on some other platform for storing and accessing exclusives. I'm not sure how possible that would be. It would add alot of fuss with setting up new accounts and shit.
In the end it might all come down to how important the exclusive content was to your desision to join my fanbox?
Feel free to discuss in the coments.
