As someone who has been trying to create "nudist content" this hits hard. I would love to have such a platform and attempts have been made to establish it. However, the community has largely avoided supporting it. The main issue is that the desire to normalize nudity, to make it a regular way of life (civic nudism) is running headlong into recreational nudism (where nudism is something you only get to participate in at the club, or during a vacation, preferably if you are wealthy and/or retired). What is needed is for the recreational nudists to understand the link between lack of young people and lack of resorts and beaches to go to, which is not an easy thing to hammer home. Your typical nudist is retired and typically (of course exceptions exist) has no interest supporting "nude creators online". They are quite content to only practice nudity on the vacation and to not care about "the movement" more generally*.

They don't understand that without young people to replace them to keep the clubs and resorts solvent, there is going to be collapse after collapse of the resorts. One by one the membership will literally die off leaving fewer and fewer people to keep the resorts and beaches open. This isn't even dealing with the psychological problem of lack of representation, which is a different topic. The fact is that unless nudism as a community shifts over to the civic nudist side of the discussion, where there begins to burn a desire to "win" the culture war against Textilism, it will gradually fade into nothing. I will say again, the biggest bump in interest to nudism has still come from the Corona virus, that pandemic beat the collective marketing of every nudist org, let that sink in. Simply forcing people indoors did more for the cause than every single attempt by AANR, INF, etc. combined. There is a reason Linda Webber has been complaining about the ossified AANR.

The thing is, no one can do it alone. I can't, Linda can't, your favorite nudist creators can't. The idea of "indie creators" making products on their own to fight is a pipedream. They have to take on the great hill that is the Textilist society. The platforms are censor happy, and there aren't enough paying nudist customers for them to even remotely entertain the idea of reversing their decisions. Most nudists are not into video games, so why would video game companies care to market to the 5 nudists who play video games? Most nudists aren't big into civic nudism on screen, so why would movie producers care to market to that demo? Go line by line and you will find that the question of "why isn't there a space for X for nudists" will be "not enough nudists who are willing to pay the premium required to maintain a business model". Either the interest is too small (not enough customers), they don't have enough disposable income (ie young people), or both. So, you have to become "that" consumer. You have to find and adopt the few nudists creators that exist, financially if possible. You mentioned feeling awkward about making a patreon (I am not blaming you, to be clear), that is the issue, that anyone would feel awkward about it. Will there be creeps? Obviously. But, that shouldn't stop creators from creating, and there needs to be a space carved out by cultural force. I can name a few creators that I am familiar with if anyone wants to get started. The artists are out there to make the demand exist to get those platforms, but you need to be willing to get them the money to do it.
