I'm so fekkin' tired.

So Patreon is obviously testing the waters on how much GenAI bullshit they want to integrate, given some recent polls that went around in creators circles.

At this point, whether or not they actually implement anything, I do want to start investigating or setting up alternate hosting for paywalled content. The comic mostly just finances its own existence (commissioning artists, running limited print runs, attending SAFC 2024 and 2025) and there's a handful more years to go before the story wraps, so the cashflow helps.

I used to update ko-fi more back in the day, but traffic there was always low and the tools on the backend less sophisticated (although, that being said, Patreon keeps FUCKING with the backend in ways that make it so annoying to use, and yet I've been requesting a calendar view of scheduled posts since 2021). But so far it is the most likely candidate for me to go back in there and do some serious maintenance.

Are there any platforms you as a reader/patron find yourself using that are worth investigating?
