My work is being pirated again. I don’t think I’ve ever made a post about piracy before, so I wanted to let you know how it affects my site. Whenever piracy is ongoing, my subscriber numbers drop drastically. This usually costs me thousands in revenue, which means I have less to spend on collaborations. Fewer audio and illustrated chapters get produced. Also, the piracy forces me to spend money on identifying the pirates and banning them from the site. It’s a real problem.
I do release older chapters on Reddit, but the pirates want to release the newest chapters for free. If you see piracy in the wild, I am aware of it and trying to deal with it. I’ve tried to reason with the pirates, but they don’t seem to have any empathy. Of course, I’m not alone, most content creators face this problem, and for some of them it puts them out of business.
I don’t have any call to action here. I just wanted you all to be aware that this is a problem for the site.
