Did all my posts just go public?
🕑 Added 2023-12-20 20:35:43 +0000 UTCBit of stuck business before I continue. Might have to shut this site down for good.
Did Patreon’s new “Free” tier just give people access to every post I’ve ever made where I selected “All Patrons” ?
Do I need to go through years and years of posts to block Free tier access? Or is there a way to delete the free tier?
Been noticing the dramatic loss of income. Thought maybe I was getting an audience back but they all seem to be on the Free Tier, which I didn’t realize showed them anything but maybe Patreon defaulted to giving away all my paid work for free?
Anyway, need to solve this because like I said, the loss in income has been dramatic to the point that this 20+ year project might be over. Will update as I learn more and sort this out, thanks for your patience, and those who pay, thank you for your support. If you’re seeing my work for free, that is unintended, my livelihood is being impacted.
UPDATE: It doesn’t look like any posts went public, thankfully. My app hasn’t updated to show the new “All paid patrons” instead of the old “all patrons.” I did lose money because at a glance the new system hadn’t shown me I was losing paid patrons (because it pads the number with free patrons). So I guess I just need to get back to promoting on social media in the new year.

I checked from my partners patron, followed for "free" and couldn't see anything l. I hope that helps!
