Why would my supporters, who are supposed to support me, do something to demotivate me?

Does living in Antarctica mean that you don't care about my life?


I must consider keeping my work private for people outside of Japan.

But I want people overseas who really support me to view my work.

In that case, how can I identify the people abroad who really support me?

I need to think about creating and publishing my videos.


I don't want to write an article that will disgust the people who support me.


I understand that other artists are struggling with the same problem.

I am really sorry that people are reposting your work. For an artist trying to gain support it is very hard when that happens. As a fan from overseas, I really enjoy what you create. But I know it is very frustrating to see your own work reposted. You have every right to be upset about it.

Well now we have deep shit why does everyone who shares content think thats ok its not there is a reason why we have a pay wall as a fan i unterstand that you are upset and have every right to be

I’m sorry people are reposting your work but are you still intentionally looking for it deep in the internet or are people sharing it to the point where exclusives stuff shows up just by searching any Gts fart/scat related drawings? I’m not trying to justify anyone for sharing your work but this is a topic I’ve talked with other artists. The final conclusion I’ve reached with most of them is that, It is literally impossible to stop people from illegally sharing exclusive content but if it isn’t affecting drastically how much money you earn then there’s no point in stressing about it. It also doesn’t help to let people know your art is being leaked because then more will try to look for it instead of subscribing.

とりあえず日本国内向けには影響は有りません。英語の記事しか無いときはそういうことです。

I am sorry. The translator doesn't work well when you write that way. In other words, if you omit symbols or write capital letters in lower case, the boundaries of the sentence are not clear to me. That is the extent of my English ability. Thank you for your comment.

Really sorry about this, wish people weren't assholes. You have every right to be angry. I hope it all gets resolved eventually, you will always have a supporter in me :)

arunarudo333

Your opinion is completely true regarding many creators. I have understood that for over a decade now. With regard to creators who have few fans, that opinion does not necessarily apply. I understand my situation best. (It's a given.) For the same reasons you mention in your last sentence, there are things I can't write in this article or in my reply. One thing I can say is that I hope you will believe me that I did not write this article because I am ignorant. Thank you for your time.

I'm more depressed than angry that there are people among my supporters who don't respect my opinion. Thank you for your coment.

申し訳ありません。それは私にも起こっています。

I feel really bad that they're sharing your work without permission. :( I'm not sure if this helps, but I wouldn't have gotten to know your work if someone hadn't shared it like that. When you find something really good, it's easy to see the difference between the original creator and someone that doesn't have the permission. Maybe consider adding a watermark somewhere through the video so they can't cut it out? So at least people that see it somewhere else immediately get to your pixiv.

I understand this situation is very frustrating. This problem sadly has no way to be fixed without taking extreme measures

arunarudo333

It is too difficult for me to explain this problem in English. But I am glad you took the time to help me. Thank you.

arunarudo333

Honestly, if I had twice as many fans as I do now, I wouldn't care about these problems XD Thanks for the comment.

This is not related to the topic but can you say when the next page for the Komi comic coming out?

arunarudo333

It is certain that you can view it with our support for September and October. Please don't ask me about my schedule. It stresses me out. If it pains you to not know what work will be posted that month and when, then support me at the end of the month.

It's hurtful behaviour. I didn't know it was still happening. I haven't seen any works from the last few months reposted. I'm a fan of what you do and will continue to support your work. Best of luck.

It's unfortunately a plague on the art world. I report reposts of my favorite artists whenever I see them. And be wary, cause even just limiting it to Japan doesn't mean you will limit the ones thieving it as well. Love your stuff and keep up the phenomenal work. Those of us who truly support you appreciate you greatly. Thank you

Have you tried directly messaging the person who's reuploading your videos on the website? I once saw a guy uploading your videos on thisvid, and when I messaged him to stop because the artist had noticed, he stopped immediately and hasn't posted since.

Anonymous

Love supporting you Arunarudo hope you don't gate westerners. I do understand there is a bit of messed up culture around paywalled content here. People repload with no consideration to the original artist brazenly. As detective rage stated you can try messaging them, or using a DMCA claim on whatever site.

Also you are probably in my top 2 active artists still going today who i will keep supporting no matter what even if I have to cut down on subscriptions. I've supported Uru since day 1 on his patreon.

Anonymous

I made an account just to support your work. Big fan of what you do thank you

arunarudo333

Thank you. I too love Uru's work. I would like to see him draw more scat and analvore XD

arunarudo333

That would be very helpful. No one but me needs to suffer from this problem. Because I have not and cannot disclose some of the information. Thank you very much for me.

arunarudo333

Thank you very much. The reason I am considering placing national and international restrictions is based on the information I have. But I'm hoping to find a way to identify some reliable supporters and do something about it. If there is no reposting, there is nothing wrong with it.

You should try making a discord server with your content being behind exclusive roles who are active supporters. Preferably something automated, so when they do unsubscribe, they lose the role and access to the content. Something to consider I guess and adding an extra step, but it really is unfortunate that people are reposting your work. I see it sometimes on ThisVid and I report them, but its very hard to discourage people from pirating your work...

Hi, i don't post never because i don't like be a social entity, i love so much you work, and i understand your frustration, but people always search the way to make this shit happen, i hope you the best of lucks and i hope you find a way to mitigate this, i hope this message can open eyes for some people.

arunarudo333

I don't know much about discord, so I'll research it when I have time. I use discord but I don't know the detailed functions. Thank you.

This is unfortunate...

I support a lot of artists on Fanbox, I follow you and saw your post... so I now support you. I don't make much money, can only support so many artists... but I want you to know I will do what I can to support you and other artists. Love this kind of fetish <3 <3 <3

Toa of Light

Sorry to hear about these continued troubles. Decided to pledge for what's left of the month and will keep it going for next month. I have to balance supporting artists with savings and expenses, but supporting you is well worth it and I can certainly afford to for a little.

arunarudo333

Thank you. We all like to support many artists. But don't worry about my income. I will be happy if you support only when there is a work you want to view.

arunarudo333

Thank you. Don't worry about my income. I did not write this article in that sense. Just do what you want as usual.

Toa of Light

Noted. In either case, I definitely want to support and peruse your excellent artwork!

Good evening, I'm from Argentina. I think the real "problem" is that you're thinking like someone from a first world country. "If you want something, you pay for it and that's it" is something that not many countries can afford, as you may know, my country is in a pretty fucked up crisis, those 5 dollars that I pay you is a fairly large amount of money, the salary Average here is less than 600 dollars. THE AVERAGE, so the common wage is even lower. "If I can't have it the easy way, I'll have it the hard way." It is a fairly common way of thinking in countries that do not have the same purchasing power as European, Asian and North American countries. You can either stop worrying about it, that those who support you are because they like what you do, period, or you can make yourself even more restrictive, only to discover that it will still leak somehow. Internet and humanity is like that.

I forgot to say. Im not excusing those people, and if people who can actually pay for your art its still consuming from those reposts or worse, reposting... they are just irresponsible costumers. But I would recommend to stop tryng to seal a river with your hands, because you would only end up tired, frustrated and angry af lol.

arunarudo333

Thank you for taking the time to do this for me. You are a little mistaken. I did not write that I am angry at people who view my work for free. I am complaining about people who use my work to make money or repost it for their own personal gratification. As a result, they too will not be able to see the full version of my work, but I don't consider that person a fan of mine if they criticize me for it. They can choose to support me or ignore me. Even if they don't pay me. Your opinion only applies to popular cartoonists and those who do it on the side. I make a living at this. Do they need to watch the full version of my videos for a living? And they think a sample isn't enough? If it is food or clothing, then I understand what you are saying. That argument would not hold true for pornographic videos.

arunarudo333

To be clear, if there was a way to offer my work to people in the world with low incomes for $0.5 and they wouldn't repost it, I'd be happy to offer it to them for $0.5. But there is no way to do that, and as you say, most people would watch for free if they could. And I am not heartbroken that humans are such creatures. If I were rich, of course I would offer it to everyone for free. That's a given for creators. We want people who are happy with our work to see it. This was in response to your opinion, not because I don't trust you. I have no intention of changing this opinion. I can understand trying to see it for free. But reposting for those people is unacceptable. Thank you if you have read my long article.

I’m sorry you’re having this problem again. You should utilize your followers to help flag your stollen content so it gets taken down. There are also DMCA notices that most websites adhere to and will take them down for copyright infringement once notified, you just have to go through a process, and it can be a little annoying at first. I love your work, it would be a shame to not be able to see it anymore because a couple of bad actors doing this, sorry again for this happening to you.

arunarudo333

Thank you. I will keep the DMCA in mind as a last resort. (Because it has many disadvantages for me as well.) If reposts continue, I will have to think about it, but for now I am not considering stopping publication just yet.

While I do think it sucks and I do understand your frustration, I think you shouldnt lose sleep over it. I only found, and subsequently started supporting this page specifically BECAUSE I found a re-upload by someone else. I am not re-uploading your work, seems like something that has no benefit to me. I download them and keep them to myself. However I do think you should think about this in a more positive light. Having such quality work that it gets spread around will actually bring some people here and they will pay money. I know because I am one of those people. So someone posting your content without your permission gave it a wider audience and brought paying customers like myself here. Because it's not like it's well advertised otherwise. People need to see and like something before they spend money on it. Having some of your content out and visible to potential customers I think is something you should view as fully negative. And as others said, it's nearly impossible to stop

arunarudo333

I am fully aware that you guys have that opinion. However, I apologize for wasting your time because I cannot tell you all what I am thinking. I had forgotten that you guys take me seriously because I was trying to think of a sentence to make the people reposting understand. For example, I do not want my work reposted whether my income increases or decreases. So the message of this article is in fact, "Stop reposting my work!" That's all. But the article states that I don't want to see a decrease in income. It is only natural that you would take what is written as it is. There are many, many other things that have not been written. Writing all my thoughts in an article does not guarantee that the people reposting it will read it in its entirety. I have my own clear opinion on all the other opinions you have written. As I mentioned at the beginning, I apologize to all who have commented regarding this article. Thanks for taking the time for me.
