A word about Patreon Leaks!

I realise I'm late to the party, but my two cents? I don't back you in order to get exclusives, stuff only "us superior beings" (where "superior" is determined by whether, and how much you contribute) get to see. I always found that aspect of Patreon quite manipulative and distasteful. I back you because I like your work and would love to see more of it. You make your work freely available on YouTube, and I respect that. That's why I make a small financial contribution, with the expectation that if enough of us do so, you can keep creating without having to worry about putting food on the table.

I just feel like the jucy stuff as u say was a bit cheeper. Then when it got leaked peiple didn't feel like they dropped 50$ for nothing:[

Rik_Zs

Fr though, in complete honesty, thank you for everything you have done, not only with hazbin, but helluva boss as well, along with other things. It has become a very fond part of my life and I look forward to seeing how not only these creations grow, but you as well.

Cronozome

Leakers suck. I wish YT would let me report them. :( Thank you for running this patreon <3.

gem

Can you not ban the leakers? I mean they can be traced?

Krishna Dudhee

Luckily, the ones not wanting to be spoiled are not even looking for it. :)

lightarchon

Way to stay positive about the matter! I'm just happy to support you. The show is reward enough for me

Brandon West

I’m so sorry for the violations these so called fans are doing to your exclusive content you trust to show us fans who adore the teams works. I always try to report and tell when I see a leak, I really hope you can find the leakers and ban them so you can feel safe in your own private space again.

Pigeon Witch

All good Viv. The content we all get on your channel is worth the price of admission.

Simon Le Sueur

You are quite alright and you don't need to give out anymore spoilers until further notice. Hope you and the crew are well and have a good new year.

Jebest4781

unfortunatly, there will always be leaks. the less official the better (primarily for those who dont want spoilers) but the majority of patreon support will just be that, support. I do feel bad for those who donate far more and their more exclusive info becomes public, but there will be ...uh, 'piracy' i guess of said info.

Seymour Asses

It literally sounds like individuals who just like starting drama and causing problems. I'm on here cause I like seeing the process from conception to Completion. I hope those individuals know they're not helping anything. Sorry I have to go through this.

Kitamu Latham-Sampier

I'm a casual supporter who have no idea about these leaks, I support because i enjoy the work being done and want it to continue, keep up the amazing work, this kind of entertainment is something I deeply enjoy.

Fred

Hey Viv, I've heard from many sources that times are rough for you, and I just want to take the time to thank you for even having a Patreon open like this, it gives me something to look forward to each time I get notified. I believe that things like this should never happen and considering how much work all of you put into this, you deserve much better. You have my full support behind you, and I'd be more than happy to help with anything if need be. All the best, and wishing you and all of SpindleHorse a happy new year.

Flaming_Gull

Is that true that the original leaker is receiving death threats over this? If that true that is not ok. At all. This comment is for the other patrons, I know the creators have nothing to do with this.

tuxayo

So sorry this is happening!!

Benjamin Varner

Always happy to continue support for the work you and the awesome artists at spindlehorse accomplish. Such a thing happening is sad. But even though we may not get any sneak peeks to satiate our appetite for more content. Will always look forward to the main coarse when it shows.

Savage Shark

I’m mostly here to support. However breaking the Patreon pledge is a scum bag move.

Dshon4everYung

Unfortunately people feel like "since I paid for it it's mine to share", or at least that's what it seems to me. People just have zero respect for this sort of thing.

Lt_DansLegs

You don't have to apologize, You are great. Don't worry... have a nice day Viv 💪💪💪

Filippo

That's pretty shitty of those people...they're doing it to boost their own social media hits.

Quillfeather

I just saw a video of the sneak peek on youtube. The person uploaded it because it was a sneak peek. This person obviously has a Patreon and decided to post it to Youtube. Why pay $50 for premium just to leak Viv’s private videos for her Patreon supporters. I am glad this was found earlier rather than later.

Flancake

If you are seeking out other YT channels that have this up and are ignoring the Patrons telling them to please take it down, here ya go: https://youtu.be/ctfJLzJ8R5Q

Haley Rydberg

Did you ever sort out changing the tiers to have the payment charged in advance like other newer creators? I've seen some who were able to made the change mid-month before (due to leaks or people leaving then re-subscribing over and over too..)

Anna

Unfortunately, those people will always exist. Most of the people I support on here also post in other places, so I don't get a lot of extra content: but the donations make it easier for them to make more content, so the good people will continue doing it anyway. You're amazing and we trust your judgment.

IamAstupidHerdOfMulticoloredSheep

I'm a ad to see tje rewards are affected by this but completely understand.

Ghost

We appreciate what you do and respect your choices Vivienne.

Alex Stephens

Sigh, I get it. you gotta protect your work as best as you can. Its just a shame that a few bad apples make it harder for others to get certain nice things =( I look forward to whatever else drops from here on out. Thanks for reaching out.

CBKasner

I saw stuff on YouTube yesterday and I thought I should try and warn you

M.K. Haddan

Nothing to be sorry about. We all appreciate you Viv!! You are awesome

Red Queen

Sorry that people can’t respect the rules and betray your trust. Hopefully they someday will realize the mistakes they’ve made.

Jack D’Alessio

I'll be honest, even if I think it sucks for the patreons, I was more worried that you were feeling down bc if it, so I'm very relieved to know this, thanks for letting us know Viv ❤️

Gis Hidaka

This is totally understandable and nothing go be sorry about. Be like Marvel: super sneaky and top secret, to wow us with the end product!

Jake

There are people in this world who have nothing else going on in their lives and absolutely nothing they achieved on their own. So they feel desperate to leach on other people's success by doing this sort of stuff. I hope you are taking it easy, and I hope you have a good new year. :(

I believe most of us do this to support you and not really for the Patreon perks. So while it sucks that people repost things it really is not something for you to get stressed about on our behalf.

Amulus

we totally understand❤️

Amy Li

sorry about that ): this is disrespectful in so many aways. thank you for everything vivzie! we totally understand the situation! we appreciate you a lot!

Only takes a few bad apples to spoil the bunch

NieroDraegon

We appreciate what you're doing for us, Viv ❤️

Michal Kašpar

people who leak are a special kind of low

Cardinal Libidine

You are an amazing person Viv, and you truly don't deserve this. But you have my full guarentee that I will continue being a patreon supporter despite all of this! Looking forward to all future content that you create!

Cheycartoongirl8

Thanks for all the hard work you guys bring ❤️ I can’t wait to get to see the finished product!

Rae

As someone who pays for this I actually don't personally care other people get it for free later. There's no way to stop it, there's no reason to get upset over it.

KaBob

I’m sad that this has happened to you, but I’m glad that this solution will help you and these amazing shows. Let us know if there’s anything else myself or anyone else can do to help you.

Kiylie Denesen

I feel like being a Patron is still worth it if it means getting to talk to you monthly!

Dario E. Sandoval

Ugh truly sorry about all this 😞

Lady Valkyrie

That is beyond frustrating to have your work stolen and leaked like that. I can't wait to see the episode when it's finished 💙

Raye.Guns

Appreciate you Viv!

Lindsey Carter

Completely understand, and it’s really the nature of the beast for such a passionate and excited community.

David McGreavy

I'm so sorry that people are disrespectful of your art. Thank you for everything that you do!!

Kael Platt

People suck man.
