A word about tiered posts and locked content (Patreon)

Hey guys, I'm writing this as a heads up because, Patreon kinda sucks at letting people know of stuff like this.

because of the early access and alt system I've got going on, images are posted several times, reposting them when the early access period runs out
to avoid having duplicate posts for several people, when reposting the images i make them visible only to those who haven't seen them yet. sadly that brings up some confusion, since people pledge to the $10 tier, but there's locked content? what gives?

so, to make it clear,

If you see content that asks for a tier lower than yours, it means it's a repost and you already had access to that post

I wish there was a clearer way to do this, but the tools within Patreon are limited
I'll see what i can do to make this information more visible

and of course, to all of you, thank you for supporting me for all of these months, our numbers have been skyrocketing and I'm eternally grateful ♥️ thank you all so much!
