Patreon Ban

9/2/25 - email sent to all active patreon subs:

Hi everyone,

First, I want to say thank you to all of you who support me, on and off Patreon. A few weeks back, I shared what would likely happen when the inevitable Patreon ban came—and today’s that day.

We made it just over a full year on Patreon, far longer than I expected given how fast AI is evolving. In that time, together we’ve accomplished so much:

Learned and experimented with image generation.
Expanded my character set on GPTGF to become a top 50 creator with fewer than two dozen characters.
Launched my YouTube character creation series to share my process.
Built Character Forge, which automates that creation workflow.
Rolled out a Telegram chatbot interface (until it was banned a month later).
And in the last two months, launched the DreamyGirlsAI beta, a platform to bring everything together into an immersive chat experience with robust, lifelike characters.

It’s been a fun, challenging journey, and your support and feedback have shaped so much of the direction we’re heading.

What We Lose With Patreon

The Patreon ban mainly impacts three areas:

Image galleries – They’re no longer accessible on Patreon—I still have all of them saved.
Communication – The Patreon DMs and group chats are gone.
Billing/payments – Patreon handled subscriptions. We averaged about $300–$350/month. I’ve been saving every penny from Patreon to reinvest into projects like DreamyGirlsAI and Character Forge.

What’s Next (Contingency Plan)

I need your help to stay connected.

Opt-in required: To keep receiving updates, please reply to this email and say “opt-in.” If you don’t, this will be my last message to you unless you reach out for help in the future as a one off.
Once I know who’s opted in, I’ll set up a proper mailing list system with unsubscribe options for anyone who changes their mind later.

Project Updates

Character Forge – Still live and unaffected. Everyone’s monthly allowance has been refreshed today (9/2/25). You can continue using it normally. If you hit issues, email me from your Patreon email.
DreamyGirlsAI – The quest continues! I’ve spun up a bare-bones Discord server where you can continue giving feedback and join beta testing. (Invite link below).

Refunds

If you paid in the last 30 days:

Request a refund directly from Patreon. Payments are taken in advance, so the removal unfairly hurts you.
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, request a refund for up to the last 75 days (since Apple holds funds that long).

If Patreon refuses and you genuinely need the money back, I’ll cover it personally via PayPal. Just reach out.

Again, thank you all. Patreon may have cut us off, but the work continues.

With gratitude,
MV
