Why are you here? (Patreon)

I wonder how many of you would still consider pledging to my Patreon worth your money if there won't be any exclusive content available? I'd like to have my Patreon open and keep it as a tip jar, like many other artist do, but I'm afraid most of my income would be gone this way.

I hate paywalls. It's bullshit, I'd like to have all my content available for everyone here. Maybe keep the high res versions and source files for $5+ patrons but forcing people to pay just to see the picture at all is just stupid.

Perks like early-access or higher resolution of pics seem reasonable but not allowing people to even see the picture is plain bullshit – the point of art is to be seen, not locked away after paywalls. If it's going to be like that, soon there won't be any art available in the internet, because everyone will be staying paywalled inside their little Patreons ugh. For many people even pledging that $1 is impossible.
