Finally someone said it about Harada. Not to mention how lazy he's gotten. Not even rigging the penis for most his new scenes (and months recent) or not having a penis at all, when you move the camera around. But he expects people to be willing to pay full price when people of the same price do way more work.Why do these people keep proving me right...

I'll try to be as concise as possible.
Sandkoi, any attempts at making your content "harder to pirate" will only result in throwing yourself into irrelevancy like Sunnyass and YourWaifuNTR'd did, and what's awaiting for Harada
I agree $20 for everything is cheap. The problem is you are selling PIXELS AND PNGs. There is a price cap to just how much people are ready to pay for that. "Piracy to customer" ratio is about 1 to 2%, so out of those 1000 downloads you likely 'lost' around 20 customers at a MAXIMUM, which means around $400. And that's a big "IF".
You talk about creators offering lazy work and getting paid $40 for a card. This is because they make niche content that no one else does. And there's a very small number of people ready to pay that.
Look at Makisu if you want to see a successful model that also earns your respect from other customers. $5 a month for everything, and it's free after 1 month. Because most of your sales to gooners happen within the next few days after that stuff hits your Patreon/Fanbox. You need to make your content as easy to get as possible, and at a price point where people won't give it a second thought hitting that 'buy' button. $5 a month is what Netflix used to be, Amazon Prime too, and at that price point people wouldn't even notice it on their CC bills. People started cancelling when it increased.
If you make it harder to get your content you will lose existing customers more than you will gain new ones. If you want to keep your model as is, I regret to say you have no options to increase your customers other than "make better scenes that more people want"
The average person browsing for Koikatsu content on Pixiv immediately turns around and goes looking at something else when they see a creator's content is 100% paywalled. No one is spending 20-30-40 bucks without getting a preview and an idea of what the content is like.
That's all, do what you want with this information.
Talking about Harada :
(just yesterday he released a free scene, which I'm fairly sure he's never done before for anything other than shitty 2 second loops. He says it's because he's not 100% satisfied in how it looks but hey, would you look at that, barely a month after he announces the new insane paywall, lmao. Tell me Harada, why would you need to increase your marketing and outreach 'now'??? Did something happen???🤣🤣🤣 ) https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/140064002"
