I'm gobsmacked - she's now over twice her normal number of paid patrons and it keeps going up
With her bandwidth costs going down she's at least pulling in $25k per month now

Is it because she's picking up paid patrons who normally got it for free, after she added minimal (password) security ?
I'm confused, something isn't right.
Why did she suddenly go into Vimeo Enterprise bandwidth costs during November?
- It isn't because of viewers getting her videos from the SMG thread:
1. There's no way there's 400 to 500 new patrons who were previously getting her content here
2. The thread has had her vimeo links for 3 years.
3. the smart majority of posters never post live embedded links anyway.
4. I notice the links that are being password protected are random in the thread - That means she's going through the videos with the highest bandwidth costs.
Normally a Kemono leak is the reason why Patreon creators lock down their Vimeo. Marling had only one
partial (failed) leak in October last year, and she didn't even notice it - that video is still not password protected
(One smallish
patreon creator I subbed to in the past explained that bandwidth costs from her kemono leak was 19x the amount she received in month)
So if it isn't Kemono or SMG - what was the site or site(s) that caused her to lock down?
> i be surprised if the 2nd week of January does not see a massive dip once a lot of us that joined see its not wroth it.
Just a festive thought - before you do leave in January, I'd bet that there's a whole bunch of folk who'd be very grateful if someone could do a copy and paste of the urls on a load of her standard (but non-Jeans, obviously) daily Patreon Angles that seem to have dropped off the 'sharing radar' lately...
With all Marling's increased subscriber numbers, any bandwidth increases as a result should be an expected by-product of that... #happy_christmas
