Anyone else sick of Patreon??
Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but is anyone else sick of everyone putting their new CC on patreon? It's like everything I see that I want to download I have to pay for. I wouldn't...

I actually prefer patreon when the content is free, it's when the paywall shows up that it's annoying. But as long as the items are released after 2 weeks, it's fine. What I don't appreciate is when creators never release items to the public or have ridiculous prices.
I found that some creators don't "unlock" their Patreon but *do* put the same stuff up for free on other platforms (such as Tumblr or their own website) after the maximum 3 weeks time is up.
If you find that they're not unlocking it after the 3 week period is up, try looking for another site that they might be uploading their content to that is free.
I haven't really seen any creator do that, perhaps once I've seen that, if at all.
I find it all the time. I get the URL from the Maxis Match CC World Tumblr when it's on Patreon. Then I look at it after a month or so (when I look at the entire list.) Most of them tend to then be open but I've run into many that *still* aren't open. But when I go looking for another site, I find that it's free *there.* I'm sorry you have had such bad luck.
I do disagree that people who use Patreon and have their content initially behind a paywall don't have good content. Some of our *best* creators put their content on Patreon initially with a paywall. Little Dica (who then puts his on Mod The Sims when it's free), HeyHarrie and FelixAndre (who have their own website and Harrie also has Tumblr) are some of the best out there and initially have theirs on Patreon "early access only". KiaraZurk is another (which is how I found out I needed to look for her Tumblr to find the free stuff when the Patreon never opened to be free.)
You didn't properly read what I wrote, I already agree that people that use early access as a protocol definitely have some of the best content. The point is that it becomes free after a couple of weeks, most superior content do.
I don't know about some other creators, but I am aware of Kiara, and her stuff are free on patreon and her site at the same time.
