Whoever is leaking my animations out there without even any watermark, please stop. I work so hard and so much trying to make animations and seeing this kind of things is really fucking depressing. The support is literally what lets me keep doing animations. Without it I wouldn't be here right now. It's not like I make thousands of dollars a month and it's literally 1-5$ for hours and hours and hours of work I put into making things. I legit could be making animations with original content and sell them to make way more money, but I chose to do this.

If you would kindly stop. I don't want to have to raise the prices.

I kinda don't want to answer that. Don't want to promote it.

I'm so sorry dude. I love your animations. You make great work. Whoever is your distributing your work is a scumbag.

I mean, I don't want to start shit with that person. Maybe they want to help the other people get access to more content. The thing is they might not realize how much effort and work goes into making animations.

I also saw the same problem with other creators' posts. We are here to support . It is really sad that there is such a problem.

Honestly, this is kind of an unavoidable problem with the internet. I mean, can you say you've never pirated movies, TV shows, games or music? Hell, is the program you use to animate legit? Do people really care about watermarks? I've never been bothered by them, even prefer them so I know the sauce immediately. Iunno about the rest, but if your other patrons think likewise, maybe just leave the watermarks in everything .

I have to be honest, I completely agree with HelloDexter. I could easily steal your stuff on many website for free, the reason why I don't is because I like what you do and you're not charging too much for it. I have dozen of artists that i want to support, and I rather give one or two bucks to 10 creators than giving 5 or 10 to only one. You'll never change pirates no matter what, and if you raise your prices you may end up with even less supporters in the end, without achieving to stop the pirates anyway. I know that must be a real pain to deal with but there is not much you can do... I hope you'll find balance in your finances.

I know it ultimately can't be helped. Although I didn't have this issue before. I'm just trying to keep it it from being stolen for as long as I can. It's definitely unavoidable, but I'm not very popular right now. It's not like I have thousands of people who have access to my Patreon.

The thing about watermarks is that it isn't to bother people, it's to have people know where the animation comes from. I just hate to think that people see an animation by me but never even heard of me.

HelloDexter

No yeah that's what I mean. I'm saying put your watermark on everything so if people see your stuff and like it, they can easily find you.

There's a fallacy here. You don't become more popular by having fewer people seeing your work. Yes, pirates benefit without paying and that sucks but it also opens up a wider audience, some share of which end up getting converted into supporters. – You're right, prices are low and that is why people wouldn't pirate if they had the money to spare. Wealth disparity and poverty are through the roof. Your best bet is to distribute the costs to as many people as possible. Also, consider that you will always be the best source for the full catalogue of high-quality files.
