Fanbox Update
Added 2022-11-16 00:35:20 +0000 UTCOnly posting about this for the few people who aren't aware.
Pixiv put up a major announcement:
https://www.pixiv.net/info.php?id=8788
Now, it's still pretty vague what this means, so I'm not panicking. At this moment, I am unsure what I'll do with fanbox. I will continue to post like normal for the rest of the month when I have something to post. This apparently doesn't affect the main pixiv site, so I'll also post there like normal. Things were already bad here with the yen tanking and I was already planning in making new up to date tiers but might not have to lol
Anyways, I have a Subscribestar, which is my main pledge site. You guys can wait and see as well but if you want to move over to something more reliable, here's my substar: https://lesdiasnsfw.subscribestar.adult/
You guys don't have to do anything. If fanbox is kill, I'll likely just have to open up commissions again in the worst case scenerio. Not gonna stop the spice.
Thank you guys for the support!

Sounds like the site has become too mainstream and the masses that make sites shitty, the update reads like credit card companies being retarded again, they had done this to patreon previously. Well ill follow to where ever we end up migrating to.

2022-11-17 10:27:27 +0000 UTCWhat i found online: "According to JP artist looking into this. Pixiv is citing Article 14.26 from the Term of Use which is IRL NSFW Content (Fictional stuff is article 7, which is not mentioned at all). So the main problem seem to be idiots selling/posting real, illegal stuff." - Maybe we are save?

2022-11-17 10:10:23 +0000 UTCWe don't know the changes yet, but I'll likely leave fanbox up and make posts but won't upload videos or images anymore. We have to wait and see what the update it tho.
2022-11-17 08:02:52 +0000 UTCMy bank is fucking dogshit and doesn't let me use Subscribestar.

2022-11-17 07:44:18 +0000 UTCYeah you'll still be able to post on Pixiv like usual (and Fanbox as long as it isn't behind a paywall, but that's the entire point of Fanbox ffs) What's changing is their ToS to say that you can no longer take or send payments for loli artwork through VISA/Mastercard (which i imagine is 99% of western users). Who even knows at this point though it's so fucking vague. Gonna need to read the new ToS when it drops in "late november"

2022-11-16 10:58:46 +0000 UTCIt is... IIRC Pixiv was working on their own token or payment processor... but haven't heard about that in a while. smh
2022-11-16 02:22:45 +0000 UTCThose changes would affect a very large portion of PIXIV's creators. Kind of stupid to allow a credit card company to influence policy on fictional characters. This'll be like when Tumblr banned porn, and then those creators went to Twitter.

2022-11-16 02:00:58 +0000 UTCWe shall see. I may just leave up the archive post and only make posts stating it's been updated with new stuff.
2022-11-16 01:14:00 +0000 UTCSubscribestar is sadly not a place i can follow. I bet there will be a way to keep fanbox, and if it's just a empty site were we get a password via PM and the previews, interactions and a folder link is on baraag, just a example.
