What I really hate? (Patreon)

Why did I choose Patreon to become an PAtreon Creator? Patreon is easy to handle and you don't need to worry about taxes for the Tax authority of your state. The people are friendly and you can talk to them. As Artist you can completly concentrate on your work and on your Patrons.

And then comes the german bureaucracy if you are an German Artist.

And this makes YOU crazy.  I tell you: Since I reopend my page on August 1 I got exactly 32 letters from 4 german agences with different Forms, Answers, Questions etc. Alone today I got five (5) letters from ONE bureau.

The largest form needed exactly 35 Pages to fullfilled also 16 pages attachments, just for the german national insurance, which is required from the law of our state. Even as they saw some pictures, my DevArt and my Patreon they wanted that I show them that I really ARE an Artist and that they acceppt me as Artist for their compulsory insurance.

And the Problem? They don't know how the Internet or Patreon as social Payment place works. They not even know that method for income... You describe them in detail how it works, how the money and taxes are createt. You show them your work, exclusive the way how a picture is createt and they ask you: "Is that serious or legal?" or "There is no way to earn something. You need to write Bills and to talk with the people, your clients..." and you as Artist think: What the Fuck? Are those people that old fashioned or is it just me?

What I did today?

I started at 6 am this morning to work on SideEffects. At 10 am cames the post men with 5 letters from one office. Since then I have been filling out forms..again.

Hail to the German BureaCRAZY, which makes you very LaLa!

Don't worry friends, I just needed to clear my head while I wrote this.

Are your country laws and burecracy exactly the same? Or better? Or more insulting?

Let me know ;)
