>subscribe to artist on patreon for exclusive content (PNG files / Alts)>they zip everything for monthly releases in DMs to stop scrapers>punished for being a legitimate customer and/or not being a subscriber from day 1
It's all changing this November. All new members pay when they join and then on the 1st every month.
>when members of your audience straight up admit they subscribe not for the exclusive content but because they want to see you genuinely succeed I must do my duty for the Realm
>>8036947how are you being punished, you're getting the exact same thing everyone else is getting regardless of when they joinedthat's like saying starting a gym membership is being punished for the time you didn't go to the gym because people who started earlier have bigger muscles
>>8037075because i want access to specific content, not just whatever rando the artist is drawing this month. system runs entirely on FOMO
>>8037436dumb zoomer
>>8036959>this November.It's been like that for like a year
>>8036962Beautiful. Honestly that's what I'm looking for. I want to start a Patreon soon but I don't really want to paywall stuff.
you can always ask them for older stuff,you know?
>>8038147i did, actually, and i managed to get the files i was looking for. that being said, a lot of artists with the monthly ZIP thing tend to only give out one ZIP per month of subscription, so if you are looking for their entire old library, it's usually not possible. luckily, i am an autist who was only interested in art of my favorite character, so it was easy.
>>8038131i miss back when artists just sold their monthly zip folders on gumroad, before they did a tumblr and banned porn. i have seen at least one artist use a similar site called e-junkie however the files were backed up on Mega and the download links were busted.
>>8038131You should have a lot of non-paywalled posts anyway. If you have no non-paying Patrons nobody will see your "subscribe to unlock" paywalled posts.Patreon is free. You don't need to paywall everything.
>>8038253more baseless theories Just sell “how to succeed with patreon” course and become a full-time grifter. Instead of larping like you’re an expert here.
