Hello. After analyzing several years, I've come to the conclusion that it's time for a major cleanup. I'm not receiving the expected monthly amount for a long time, which I use to calculate all my expenses for the following month, and I'm constantly having to either cut something, find something missing, borrow from friends, and so on. Let me give this month as an example. I did 9 paid posts, and with simple arithmetic, multiplying 9 (paid posts) by 410 (the number of paid subscribers) it should be 3,690$(If every subscriber will pay 1$ for 1 paid post, 9 from person), but in fact, I received ~2,800$ for this month. Even if we take into account that some people only pay for part of the works and not for all of them, let's say 4$-6$ of their maximum per month, then the amount should be at least in the region of $3000-$3200 as average number, So it turns out that I only have about 300-320 honest subscribers; the rest are swindlers. I also keep in mind that this month has been quite productive. I usually do 4-7 paid posts, and even when I do a standard month with 5 works, I was expecting around $1,800 at that point. I'm taking a period of time about six months ago when I had an average subscriber count of around 360 for a long time, +/- 10-15, but even then, instead of $1,800, I was getting around $1,400 at best, sometimes a little bit more, sometimes a little bit even less. The essence remains the same.So.To those who genuinely support me, I offer my deepest gratitude, Thank you very much! 🥰And to those who are "subbed" but using all kind of methods to avoid payments for months and years, I have a question: why? If you don't want to support me or other people, just don't subscribe, it's that simple. From today, I'll be filtering out anyone who's didn't paid a single dollar for a huge amount of time while remaining a paid subscriber(paid member). All these individuals will be banned. Fortunately, Patreon has tools and statistics that can be used for this purpose, allowing me to track all of this over whole time since my page was created. If those who've avoided payments in this way are reading this and thought no one notices them, well, no, we do notice, every month, every year. I've tried to ban only those who aren't even shy to do that, but. Given the circumstances I've been living in for almost 4 years now, in a foreign country alone, where I have to meticulously calculate my monthly living expenses, I need transparent income statistics, which is what all these plans are based on otherwise pretty often i getting fucked up when unexpected problems arise, whether with health or housing. Last year, I had to undergo several surgeries, and only by saving at least a little money over time back then i was able to pay for it and not end up in big debt or being declined from surgery. To sum it up, this month, everyone who has avoided payments for a long time will be banned and flagged/reported for cheating/fraud. So Patreon system and other artists also will know that when you try to subscribe on them. Roughly speaking, about 80-100 accounts could be be banned, which is sad.Honest people have nothing to worry about, and I thank you one more time for your support!Well, for those who cheat, I also have a wish. I sincerely wish that you be treated equally like you behave towards other people 😉
