About Gumroad's new NSFW Guideline (Patreon)
Content
Referring to this update on March 15th - https://help.gumroad.com/article/156-gumroad-and-adult-content
I have been notified of this issue, and to be honest with you, I was froze for minutes not knowing what to do.
Gumroad has been a big part of my income for years now and I got hit harder by this compared to other NSFW creators due to the fact that Paypal in my region does NOT allow auto-payouts anymore and the reason I'm still using Gumroad is because they're one of the few that has direct bank account transfer as a payout option.
I'm currently looking into alternative selling platform that allow NSFW contents and has payout options that are not Paypal/Stripe. itch.io might be an option since it can be linked to Payoneer.
Now, I don't even have a clue how soon this will be regulated and whether or not Gumroad will contact me to remove the guideline-violating items myself or will they just straight up remove the items themselves, but if you have bought anything from my Gumroad and have not download them yet, please download them as soon as you could, before that happens.
However, please don't worry as a Gumroad customer. I consider anyone buying stuffs from my Gumroad to have earned the right to download the items any time you want since you know, life happens, and you may lose your files upon switching PC and all that.
Even if the contents you have bought would be removed, as long as you could provide me with the proof of purchase (a screenshot of an email regarding your purchases or something) and send it to me via any platform I'm on or on my email, I could just give you the download link to the files again! Since we're on Patreon, sending me a message here works, too.
I will try to get my items up on itch.io or other available platform as soon as I could after the eventually Gumroad removal.
If you guys have any suggestion on which platforms could I look into that may fit the bill, let me know in the comments.
I'm so stressed out to be honest... It's going to be a long day.
