Anon: -100/100... literally can't even see the ties he's making. Charging $50 for this is diabolical.
Forpersephone: Hi! I'm not charging 50 dollars for this, that's for the membership aka every single video I post. This is all I've got of this session, there will be more. You don't have to be here!
Reading the caption also coulda helped you out! This is just one session. Better lighting coming, and still isn't 50 dollars for one video that I coulda just not posted at all.
Anon: Not knowing how Patreon works is no excuse for publishing things that are not aligned with more or less what are set out in your membership tiers. I genuinely looked forward to seeing some Shibari professional (Darren [I also follow him]) tie you up. Shibari is incredibly skill-based, and it's a disappointment that not only can I not see the ties he's making, but I can't even see you. It's also super coveted knowledge unless you have certain clubs accessible to you. In any regard, for $50, it'd be appreciated if you could put more effort into the content you share. You post more to Instagram than here where people are trying to support your modeling and/or your art work.
Forpersephone: Again. This is all I had from this one session. We have more booked and I already said in the caption that I will have much more and better content with great lighting. This was our first tie, and I just posted cuz it's the first and I had it. You can still look forward to seeing it it is still coming, this is all I had for this one. The membership would have stayed the same if I just didn't post this at all- and I'd still have more coming. I just wanted to share the vibes of my first time back. Posting this one doesn't take away from everything else I post and am going to. I also definitely do not post anything on Instagram that I can share here so idk what that means. All the best
Anon: Your response still doesn’t address the actual issue. The problem isn’t the tiered membership itself, it’s the quality and originality of the content being delivered through it. Most of your supporters already follow people like Roustan and Primordial Creative, so seeing recycled or lower quality reposts of content we already have access to feels lazy and disappointing. People subscribed because they wanted to support your work and perspective directly, not repackaged material from photographers and videographers we already pay attention to ourselves.
What makes it worse is that you’re clearly active almost every day on IG stories or in general, so the lack of meaningful content for paying supporters stands out even more. Nobody is saying this because they want to hate on you or see you fail. People are bringing it up because they supported what you built and expected more effort and appreciation toward the community funding it. If this continues, you’re going to lose support simply because people no longer feel valued.
Anyway...
