Taken from Points/Coins canny example. For example, renting a server is cheaper than Bluehost. This already compensates for the costs incurred due to direct links. https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-sx/ or (for example, €59/month). October 13, 2025 is when the one year agreement ends.

We have some users that are subscribed to Patreon, these are the VIPs on the site. They have no ads shown to them. Currently I'm manually updating this, so if someone unsubscribes, they are still VIP on the site. I'd like to create an integration between Patreon and Drama-Otaku. If a user subscribes to patreon, their account is auto-updated on Drama-Otaku and their role becomes VIP. If a user unsubscribes to patreon, their account is auto-updated to subscriber and they will see ads again. This is part of a bigger feature related to the points and coins system I briefly mentioned.
