That's been the case for loli on SS for the past 2-3 years, until Dec 15th it was just kept a secret. Fuck those guys along with Patreon (I now won't even dl it if it has a Patreon link, it's prob shit anyway if it's good enough for them), I have 2 subs left on SS and those will be canceled soon as well if they are not on Unifans, my new main platform I use to support loli devs. I'm also never supporting vanilla shit, that like paying for regular porn that's free and easy to find everywhere. Let the rest of the world's dummies that enjoy the same censored shit over and over fund it. And I agree, fuck the dev for caving. At least some devs like Ketzal and BH have a spine and find work-arounds (Ketzal simply moved his subs to Mee6 for those like me that refuse to stay subbed on SS and also made a fake AVN placeholder for the rest). BH has a free teir, and he simply tells subs to go to his Discord for links. He could also just put a PO Box address (for snail mail checks) in his OP pages here and a crypto wallet link as well if he wanted to (what I'd do if I didn't want to make lewd lolis for free). At least Unifans seems to have more foresight than SS did (kinda dumb to bill yourself as a anti-censorship alternative to Patreon yet use a similar payment network and without even trying to launder your funds). They have both cc and crypto payment options and you don't fund devs directly, you buy Unicoins at 10 cents each and those are used to pay devs (prob converted to fiat when they cash out). MMO's have been using that trick to circumvent online gambling laws for decades now (loot boxes are never priced in USD, and neither are prizes you win if it has a virtual slot machine or similar in it).
