I'm not sure if you're aware, but some people have been scrapping my stuff for a good while. And while I don't really mind that because it's inevitable, what I don't find fair is being able to do it without effort. I know you guys value my art and I feel it's my own duty to protect what you pay access for.

It would be simple, every post will have the same blurred image, and you can find the original under a link with the password, where it will be updated periodically here. Long time ago I made a website where you can log in and find the stuff, but it was expensive, and time wasting to maintain. I feel this procedure would be simpler, as you can still find, comment and like posts in your dashboard.

What do you think guys? I will abide by the results of this poll.

If it's to protect against AI scraping, I think looking into methods of poisoning the data'd be more effective. Doesn't detract from your ability to post here on Patreon and it actively decays the ability of AI to produce stuff based on your work. Unless you mean people literally just taking art from here and posting it publicly, you can't really do much about that. I voted 'keep things the same', but I'd add to that with 'look into methods of protecting your work that don't involve inconveniencing your patrons, if possible'.

Protection is needed but also understand that IT WILL BE copied and posted elsewhere. There's no way around it. A way to think of it is, your patreon members pay to see it SOONER rather than waiting for the scraper or whatnot to swipe it. It's about selling the idea that if you wanna see them BIG OL EMBER TIDDIES, you can just fork over five dollarydoos a month instead of waiting 2-3 weeks to see them big ol' tiddies on a third party site with questionable image quality.
