Piracy will always exist in the digital realm, but I don't think it is really relevant/problematic for small creators.
Paywall stuff is great in theory, but piracy is going to happen whether the account is big or small.

Agree to disagree.
All you have to do is go to any of the piracy .party sites like kemono to see piracy isn't just a big creator thing. You have big and small creators stuff ripped and freely posted by pirates. Doesn't matter if its lewd pictures, instructional videos, trading signals, you name it, it's probably been posted somewhere if it's on any paywall site.
