I just wrote my Patreon link in my novel's 'Author's Thoughts' like usual and they are blocking it for me by making **** appear in its place!
The actual fuck is that?

El_Don that's old news. You want to make extra money? That's a no no for them. You should remain poor.
Motuo I'm sure they'll eventually censored that there too?? I don't know, they don't keep you up to date or give reason on why they did that in the first place which saddens me.. I mean there's no reason it should be censored right?
I guess they're censoring it because they consider author patreons to be a potential loss of income for webnovel? Idk, that's the only explanation I can think of. Like say Reader A only has 10 USD to spend on webnovels per month, and s/he decides to give it all to an uncontracted author's patreon instead of buying SS with it, which means webnovel doesn't get anything.
Authors are also less likely to want to commit to a contract with Webnovel if they already have a successful patreon, IMO. This is just my guess, not saying this is the real reason or anything. Wish they would at least put out an announcement about it tho, pulling the rug from under the authors like this is not cool.
If that IS the case then it defeats the whole reason they posted here to begin with. Back to RR they go!
Eliza_Thornberry I am not sure if it is old or new. I put the novel on hold for a week and my readers told me about it just two days ago. It really is not cool. I am a Skyrim Fan Fiction Author so no contracts for me anyway.
SouthernWilds Yeah, at least RR writing tool is way cooler than Inkstone. Sinkstone if you ask me.
El_Don they censor every link that will send you outside WN. Also all infos about other sites with QI content under a different domain.
Eliza_Thornberry what about YouTube videos? I’d at least want my readers to listen to a song while they read lol
Just put in your authors note for every chapter and on the front page.
"Webnovel is censoring links to all other websites, including 'pay tree on', so head on over to Royal Road dot com (or whatever alternative site) and search for my story there for the relevant links if you wish to show your support."
HACK THE PLANET!!!!!!
Edit: Better yet, just stop using webnovel all together. They're shady af anyway.
Peaches your right, I’m feeling motivated to move to RR. It might be for the best. But when will they update their skin template they promised back in 18?
What is RR?
veinglory Royal road
Eliza_Thornberry It doesn't have much to do with it being a link, most outward links are not censored, and Patreon is censored even outside of link.
