Even if there are minor inconveniences, there is no reason not to maintain a method that can definitely prevent theft of works. No one would leave their house or sleep without locking the door because it is annoying and inconvenient. Attempting to illegally copy works (especially full-set zip files) is not a legitimate act and is not worth considering or accepting. In fact, other AI creators I subscribe to have recently actively introduced the "Community - Chats or DM" password system and are working hard to protect their own works. In the case of thumbnail images that are inevitably leaked, they may be used for promotional purposes. Despite the limitations of the Patreon system, maintaining a password is an essential process for creators and legitimate subscribers to protect their works and their own rights. Of course, I fully agree that if there are significant inconveniences in the current password system, it is necessary to express opinions and coordinate. However, I am concerned that the suggestion to remove the password simply because it is annoying and burdensome is a hasty opinion that lacks respect for Mr.grandmogi's work and rights.

2025-07-19 17:10:57 +0000 UTCThe current password system is nowhere near the worst and has proven to only be a minor inconvenience. This is my advice I give to every Patreon when the topic comes up. Develop your content expecting it to eventually get pirated. The sad reality is that anytime someone makes good content, there will always be at least one person that will go out of their way to share that content on some website, no matter what precautions you put in place to prevent it from happening. With that in mind, I always recommend every genner I speak to to watermark their stuff in some non-invasive way. Put your Patreon or Twitter name somewhere in the image (small font in the corner?) where's it's non-invasive but helps people identify your work. You don't know how many times I've come across a randomly shared images on Facebook or Twitter but can't find the creator because the reposter didn't bother to cite the source. Make your content with the knowledge that someone may share it eventually, and hope that someone who sees that pirated content will eventually become a subscriber. I'm in the crowd that I don't like to use Megaupload. It can be very convenient for galleries in small disk space size, but the daily limit really makes things difficult when a large number of Patreons have decided to start using Mega over Patreon's built in system to crack down on scrapers. In short, right now, I'm neutral on your current system for passwords. It's a minor inconvenience, but it could be much worse.
