[Tier IV] Your opinion on the Image set early access.
- A: Mega sneak peak 37
- B: Shorter early access (Reduced to 24h) 83
- C: Early access to the 10-20 first pages only 9
- D: Remove the early access perk entirely. 24
Hey folks. A while ago, I mentioned the issue of the Tier IV early access perk to image sets.
The TLDR, is that the fact of the matter is, sometimes someone in TIER IV will decide to leak my content. That's to be expected with NSFW content; there's not much to be done about it.
But the problem is that, when and if that happens before the content gets unlocked to tier III, this really sucks for Tier III supporters (seeing that content leak before they even get access to it).

Anyways, I had to do something about it. I was thinking of maybe reducing the early access to 24 hours, but that's a bit silly to repost the same set twice within just 24h (And there is the possibility that whoever is leaking will be more aggressive about the leaking.)
So, I'm making this poll with different propositions to get your opinion. I'll have to make the call at the end of the day, but I do want to know what you guys think about it.
So, here are the different options I have in mind. Which one do you think would be best?
A) A mega sneak peak post. You already have small sneak peaks there and there on discord. The mega sneak peak would be a more beefed-up version of this. Where are the "main shots" of the set. Fully shaded and colored are available. These would be without text. Essentially, when I'm done shading all the key core images, I could share you a file showing all these key shots. The actually set would then be released to Tier III and Tier IV subs after I'm done writing the story (Usually 3 or 4 days later). So it's like a more "chunky" sneak peak of the set with a bit of a longer "early access" period. (Which is fine since it's not the entire set.
B) Posting the set in a 24h early access to Tier IV before it unlocks to Tier III. Essentially what I proposed before. The chances of the leak happening before tier III get access to it is still there. (Note that If I notice that who ever is leaking gets supper aggressive with leaks in response to this change, I may have to scrap that idea down the line. We'll have to see).
C) Posting the first 10-20 pages as early access. And the full set when it's done to both Tier III and Tier IV. Not the biggest fan of this, but it's a possibility. At least, it's not the full set so if it's leaked, it's not the entire thing.
D) Remove that Early access reward all together. All and all, the most simple solution to that problem.
Please keep in mind once again that this poll is more to get the general opinion of tier IV subs on the matter. I'll have to make the call myself.
Thanks for your participation.
