Hey guys,
The financial reality of my current revenue on SubscribeStar has been below minimum wage for a while now (Eastern European minimum wage, so not great to begin with). After recent expenses and a long break due to apartment renovations, it took another hit. Many people unsubscribed, which is understandable, but sadly the revenue didn’t recover after I resumed work. Right now, I’m sitting at around one-third of minimum wage per month.

Right now, I’m sitting at around one-third of minimum wage per month.
I’m burning through my savings quickly and don’t have much time left. As a last hurrah, I’ll try a few things. First, I’ll stop taking breaks every three months. That used to be my time to catch up on delays, think of new animation ideas, and take some time off since I don’t really have free weekends or holidays. It’s going to be hard, but I have to lock in.
Second, I’ll be increasing the subscription price. Over the years, inflation has gone up, and I tried to keep it at $4 for as long as I could, but I can’t anymore.
Third, I’ll be looking into alternatives to SubscribeStar. The lack of PayPal support (I know it’s due to Visa/Mastercard issues) and frequent credit card rejections make it less appealing for subscribers. Some promising platforms have popped up recently, especially outside the West, where regulations and content restrictions have become increasingly strict.
When I’m back to work at the beginning of April, I’ll give myself four months to see if the situation starts to improve, as I know this is a slow process. If it doesn’t, then sadly we’ll have to face reality, and my Skyrim chapter will come to an end.
I also take commissions for animations.
If your request is within my usual scope of work and can be included in the next batch of animations, the price is quite low, only $5 per actor per stage.
If you're interested, feel free to DM me on Discord so we can discuss the details.

If you’ve ever thought about subscribing, or coming back, now would mean more than ever. Your support right now could genuinely decide whether I can continue.
(I can't move people from tiers or delete them while they have active subscribers, so to not be a nasty suprise I'll update 4$ and 8$ tiers for the last time next content drop, please change tier for the next one)

I can pay with paypal or wise whatever method your prefer
You do what's best for your revenue. I appreciate the help you gave in discord to get things working for me and will follow you to whatever platform. One thing id suggest is putting your sub link on your packs over on LL. I only found your sub by asking in the LL forum and P+ discord.
Your work has always been appreciated here man, I've been trying to stay subbed whenever possible, tho I've had to take some breaks when you've been particularly MIA. I haven't been playing much skyrim lately but I can't resist checking back here from time to time to see what you've been up to, I'll always have a fond place in my heart for all you awesome creators who keep the game going with cool new stuff. I hope you find a way to continue what you do, and I understand if you have to change some things in order to do that. Best wishes and good luck to you. :)
What you make matters. Having you gone would be a great loss to the communiity. Whatever you choose, I hope you keep some space in your life for creating, even it changes shape.
I need your animation, and I'm willing to pay for it because it's the kind of animation only you can create.
Therefore, even if the price increases, I will continue to pay.
