How the fuck do you think people end up wanting to pay you? They have to know about you first! They have to see that piece that sparks something in them to where they go
>"Oh man I REALLY want to support this guy so he can keep making more of this, this is my fuckin JAM!"
When you gate that shit, yes even TIME gate that shit, you are reducing the chances of any particular piece reaching a person. You burn out the novelty of it on the people who see it on patreon first, and then what? They don't share it when it's public! It's no longer new! The initial hype, is gone!
If they did as you said, then your shit would not spread as far.
The entire strategy of internet art is that YOU have to be basically a mind virus, to where your work is constantly being spread by people who really enjoy it. And then you get people who want to pay you DIRECTLY to produce more (AKA commission you), or throw a few bux a month at you in charity.
