Having 1 million followers is like throwing confetti into a hurricane: people cheer, platforms profit, and you’re left sweeping your own glitter off the floor. Everyone loves the art, shares it, while we’re over here perfecting the art of checking our bank balance with one eye closed.

Three-panel meme using scenes from a movie. First panel shows a man saying "You have millions of followers. I think you're good." Second panel shows a blonde woman responding "Social media platforms don't pay their creators." Third panel shows the same man looking shocked/concerned in the rearview mirror of a car.

Platforms Stole Our Pay, AI Stole Our Art

Now AI companies are scraping our “worthless” art to train billion-dollar generators. Apparently our work was valuable enough to steal, just not valuable enough to pay for. It’s like being robbed by someone who insists they’re doing you a favor by “increasing your exposure.”

So here we are on Patreon, asking our actual fans to bridge the gap between “viral content” and “paying rent.” Because in this rigged game, the only reliable currency left is people who genuinely give a damn about creators surviving.

Panel 4: The scene shifts to a park bench where the first mantis is sitting next to a ladybug with glasses.

We know constant plugs are annoying but please try taking a different perspective here: Although literally millions of people read our comics weekly, it’s still difficult for us as creators to make a living. We don’t get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to flip burgers and couldn’t make comics at all.

So if you read this or the plug of any other artist, please be kind. Thank you!

The cat's wide-eyed expression emphasizes its frustration. Panel 3: The third panel zooms in on the witch, who is visibly annoyed by the cat's comment. She scoffs at the cat, expressing her disbelief at its audacity. The panel focuses on her face, showing her irritation. Panel 4: In the final panel, the cat, still near the Ouija board, continues to sass the witch. It says, "They also asked if you’re planning on going out in that outfit." The cat looks smug, while the witch is left speechless by the remark.
