New Strat! (Busted already... 🤦) (Patreon)
Content
As expected, Kemono didn't answer my request in the time they specified.
I contacted a lawyer, instinctively, and we spoke about how we could proceed to make them take down my stuff, but, as expected again, there is not much we can do to track them down, which nullifies every strategy we could come across.
I'm unwilling to go through legal channels, I just wanted to know if there were good enough possibilities to achieve my goal.
Unfortunately, as things are at the moment, unless they accept my request, there are none.
So I've been doing some quick researches about how to prevent future leaks, and I stumbled upon something quite peculiar:
My leaks on Kemono only expose the content of the posts, description included...
But not the comments!
Now, there is probably a good reason for it.
I thought maybe their scrapper just quickly copied the state of the post at the time he got to it.
However, older posts already had some comments when Kemono scrapped them, so I'm cautiously optimistic in believing it has some some kind of instruction in filtering the comments.
...
Which leads to a possible solution:
Posting links in the comments!
Now, I know some Kemono posts of very well consolidated artists have some comments on them, but I strongly think they are far less than what they really are on the original Patreon page.
I also believe that what is done is done, since they don't actually update the changes of every post in real time, but rather keep a copy of them, so there is no reason in me moving every links to older posts in their respective comment section.
I might change idea on this thought though, depending on how things go.
... But yeah, it sounds like a good strat to me.
The alternative would be finding a storage online which allows protections on files, changing their locations, updating every single link, creating a password, finding a way to let you know the password, keeping it up to date...
It's a tedious process for me AND for you, and I'll get to it ONLY if after every other attempt fails.
It goes without saying that I'll state something on the lines of "Links in the comments!" in every future posts.
So hopefully you legends won't bother if I'm trying to find a solution to this problem, I know I'm asking a lot so...
Thank you for your incredible support!
Gratefully,
