Spankingtoons is going into hibernation. Anyways, recently gumroad asked me to clarify some profile stuff in which i just finally asked 'am I even going to get to stay on this platform?' and was followed immediately with the letter many have already received (as follows) - Hey there,
We're sorry to say we've updated our policies on adult content to be more closely aligned with our payment processors. We will no longer be able to support the sale of sexually explicit or fetish-related content on Gumroad. We unfortunately have no wiggle room here.
You can read in detail about our new policy here, including specfic examples:
All existing purchases will still be accessible in the customer's Gumroad Library; we simply cannot allow the sale of adult content going forward.
Again, we're very sorry about this.
Best,
Gumroad Support weirdly -- I got the letter but my site is still up? Even so, I am done. I am guessing they will officially pull the plug at any moment. I was already waiting for the axe to fall. But anyways, I will unpublish the members section but according to this email members should be able to still download stuff. So I ask all the members to download what you need and unsubscribe. What's the future of spankingtoons? As the post as noted, I am putting it into hibernation. The end of spankingtoons is bittersweet. On one hand, I am in one of the worst financial situations I've been in in a while, so patreon cutting me originally was devastating. On the other hand -- I am more than burned out on spankingtoons. I love my fans and what we have created, but I only have so much energy to make side content every week and it's been pretty repetitive. I don't want to say 'never' on anything cause I do think spankingtoons could make a comeback, I just don't have a plan for that at the moment. I would also need a reliable site that I both trust and that upfront says adult content and abdl content are okay in their rules, which I don't see happening for a while if ever. This last year has been so stressful just constantly worrying if/when I am going to be dropped. I think I am going to try other pinup ideas to monetize (none abdl or extreme spanking) and go from there. I am expecting far less revenue on these new ventures though, as I do feel the niche of spankingtoons was well received since the specific kinks are fairly rare in the grand scheme of things. Anyways, that's it for now. Thank you all SO much for all the support. It really means so much to me and I hope my pinups brought happiness (and/or naughtiness?) to your kinky lives. Spankingtoons was also a great reminder that other kinksters with our fetishes exist. OH, I also want to thank people not only for the support, but the surprising lack of drama all these years. In my first year I had to ban a couple people for trying to start fights in the comments and was expecting it to be a regular thing -- but that was it! Minus a few bad apples people have been chill and kind and it is very appreciated by me! If I make any announcements in the future it will be on fetlife and or deviantart which you can find me at - https://fetlife.com/users/3764689 https://www.deviantart.com/spankingtoons
