Hey! If any of you have been paying attention, patreon is updating their NSFW policy to require a *real* ID, at least on the page hosting side of things. I am not particularly comfortably directly linking this page or this username with a real photo ID of mine. We will see if Patreon backs off or what, but I may be forced to look at alternatives to patreon if they are serious about this. I just figured I would give an update about this, since it effects whether I intend to stay here or use something else. Will keep you updated. Thanks!

How are they supposed to give you money or host your stuff in a legal manner without knowing who you are?

My bank and personal information are connected to the way I get paid out. I don’t know why showing my ID changes anything about this. There is no legal requirement for a company like Patreon to expect an ID from me. Patreon is just a money transferring service essentially. It’s not like voting. I don’t need a photo ID to use my debit card or PayPal so why would I need it for this? Not to mention if it was not legal to operate this without an ID, how did Patreon function for years without requiring one? The only reason this is happening is because Mastercard is forcing it on to Patreon at the threat of removing it’s processing service. Legality has nothing to do with it
