i can't believe i even have to make this post, but any content i upload here is my own. NO ONE should be downloading it, blurring my watermark, and reuploading my videos to free tube sites. you have access to these videos because you pay me. if someone doesn't pay me, they don't get to see them.
i just came across FIVE of my videos on a site that im already active on. i very occasionally upload previews or sneak peeks of upcoming videos there, but anything more than that is paid.
while i do enjoy the content i make and the fact that so many of you enjoy it as well, im not doing this just for fun. i am chronically ill and disabled and currently, this is my ONLY source of income. it's enough to maybe get groceries once per month, and you have no idea how much i appreciate it. im so grateful to have found a community where i feel accepted and appreciated myself! but i will not tolerate what happened today.
to the person who did this: only you know who you are, and if you see this, i have reported all the videos of me you stole, commented on all of them, and sent you a direct message. you have hundreds of stolen videos on your profile, so who knows how many other women you've done this to. doing this has a legitimate impact on my life. i have already lost my apartment and my vehicle. i genuinely need every dollar i receive. i sincerely hope you understand this - if you even see it at all.
to those of you who understand these boundaries and respect me and the content i share with you, it means the world to me. thank you for your continuing support. i would encourage you to speak out if you see stolen videos like this elsewhere online. sex workers' lives can literally depend on this.
