I was interacting in a discussion on the threads all and asks the question of what lenses they decided to shoot a certain photo with, they responded that they only divulge that information for a specific tier of this Patreon. Is it just more or is they really weird and gatekeepy? Hell, if anyone asked me what glass I was shooting on I’d happily let them know the lenses and anything else they wanted to know, just seems hella weird to me.
This emerges from the need to monetize.
Just like airlines no longer offering first checked bag free (that used to be free) or seat choice (that used to be free) or flight meals (used to be free).
Instead of adding something more to the paid tier, they exclude something from the free tier.
