Patreon updating annoyance
🕑 Added 2022-08-22 16:02:13 +0000 UTCIt seems Patreon(due to Mastercard apparently) is gonna be doing an age verification thing to combat whatever illegal bull they are using as an excuse to go after nsfw peeps. That alone would be fine but I'm not a fan of having to take a "selfie" for verification. It's already intrusive enough as it is. Pretty much what pornhub did to allow videos to be uploaded when they decided to do their purge.
I guess someone really wants to see the faces of all the peeps who enjoy adult content. It's their fetish XD. Probably want to see some "O" faces. So that they can eventually go after anyone who likes pron and banish them to them shadow realm lol. It's a joke, but who knows in this day and age :/ .
Anyways in orders to avoid that I'm gonna have to squeaky clean my patreon to be "safe for all audiences"....ok... That makes sense to me I guess. Mark your account as nsfw, but also let it be safe for all audiences -_- .While I know it's not necessarily a direct attack towards content of adult material and might be meant for a good cause in stopping rl harmful things I can't help but feel that these often attacks on said communities are because of prudes. Especially when it hurts the people on the legal side far more than the illegal one. Especially when it's on fictional content that has no effect or harm towards anything in rl. Unless you can't differentiate between fiction and reality. In which case that's a you problem.
Anyways I'll be deleting some older posts(way older ones). Nothing much of a big deal, but figured I'd let peeps know. I've been meaning to do it for a while anyways since my content isn't even on this site and paypal is also doing their own purge on nsfw creators although theirs's is more broad. I'll do it this...Friday? That seems ok. I would do it today, but maybe someone likes that older content so I'll give time for peeps to save it.

In smaller news. Just saying that if you signed up this month and haven't received your invite to my site let me know. Same if there are any other issues with it. Suggestions on how to make the website more user friendly are also appreciated. I've been getting another list of peeps who don't accept the invite sent to their email so I'll be purging it at the end of the month.

I'm not sure what they plan for those who aren't living in the USA. But as far as just the patrons go I don't think you have to worry. I think the verification is only for the adult creators on Patreon and only does who have nudity or sexual content on their patreon. So patrons shouldn't have to deal with it.

And what about the people who aren't living in USA? Are we going to post our respective ID's country? I mean, I don't want to show my face to prove I'm an adult, but I wish I could post my DOB and later check it with my QR Code on my ID.

They are doing both. It's in the post I put, but yeah they are using some weird named group. Jama something. You have to show your I.D. and do a selfie. They literally call it a "Selfie". It's when you click on more details regarding the I.D. Again same thing pornhub did. The only thing I did like was that they said they'd delete your picture and stuff afterwards, but they keep a log of your verification. I'd be ok with that, but these things are always getting breached and there's already leaks with these things. It's not even like they can be trusted to actually do that. Not that I have anything to hide, but I'm just not comfortable with it. And it's like a principal thing too.

I thought they were using a vendor that required pic of gov id, not doing the selfie thing. I'll have to research whether the vendor can be trusted and how much info Patreon is going to get
