I think if you're banned from a creator, the complete page is blocked from viewing, so for you to have no option to sub is a strange case
Well, I think the issues goes beyond that.
Maybe I'm banned, but I can buy shit from his shop and from other creators.
I think the problem is patreon itself. Been checking and Patreon doesn't like when you use debit card info or temporary digital cards for your purchases. For the past months,I lost 2 of my accounts due to "fraudulent behavior" flagged by Patreon.
I didn't have this issue in the past. I used to be subbed to Darkruler and Cunihinx to name a few.

So welp. Even If I wanted, I couldn't support either way It seems.
Piracy the way to go.
Like Gabe Newell once said: "Piracy is a service problem"

Doesn't add up. Darkruler did her and nothing happened.
Yes, some people get banned for stupid shit and some don't. Mysterious how life is simply unfair.
I can only point you to pixiv and how some ''questionable'' content creators got nuked from orbit and others are still active despite breaking the same ''rules'' (aka they weren't mass reported by some bitch).

With dblin, you don't get that. Yeah, he has a shop, but only part of his mods are in here.
I really want to get his new Yuffie, but it is literally impossible to get it unless you were subbed to him prior to her release and she isn't in the shop.
I just want to point this out, as far I am aware DBLin only really had a exclusive mod that is Vindictus Fiona that was only open to subscribers to buy (I am wrong as Fiona is on Patreon Store, his Aerith on the other hand is not, not sure about his early Tifa status since she have a free version) . Everything else was put on Gunroad to buy before Patreon opened their store and apparently Gunroad did something to piss people off as they moved to Patreon.

The way I remember is originally you could sub and it was the typical Pateron, sub a month and get everything ... then he closed his Patreon to new members and put each month mod in Gunroad a month after it was released in Patreon, Yuffie will be there next month since thats how things been since he closed his Patreon to new members.

One thing I can say about him is that at least he releases the character head often with 2 hairs as well a outfit, his outfits are a bit "hit or miss" in some areas but at least he adds then with the head mod.

With Darkruler you are now paying for the current month head mods and one of the previous months head mods and you can see the problem, imagine you want Black Cat and Fang ... you have to sub two months for then.

Also I hope nobody accuses me of being DBLin ... I never liked his closed Patreon model but then Patreon gone and turned into Gunroad apparently so what can I say? Its what a lot of people are doing now and were doing before in Gunroad so ...

Edit(2):

As for Yuffie ... I think this was simply a question of popularity as well model availability (were do you think Artoria come from?) so as Tifa and Aerith were very popular characters and many head models were created for then, Yuffie was not ... it shouldnt come as a surprise since McM82 put Ryza many times in the polls and yet she keep losing.

This is true...The hammer doesn't come down on everyone equally.

I always forget about that fact. Of course people are more likely to jump on the characters that are in higher demand. It's so obvious, yet I always question why characters I'm interested in get ignored..

I'm not sure there is an ideal way of making money modding but also not piss some people off enough to pirate their work out of spite.
The "ideal" way for both sides would be to have enough supporters willing to pay to get your mods early for you as a modder to be fine releasing content for free at some point. I'd imagine getting extra money from specific commissions helps with that willingness as well. Ideally at least.

Annoying as it may be, I get why some might want to keep things behind a paywall, even if they seemingly get the amount of paid support I mentioned before. There's a difference between that and just being a greedy asshole though. As much as a permanent paywall might piss people off in general, the way someone goes about it matters much more I'd argue.

I do ultimately agree that there's no pleasing everyone though. Even if you do release things publicly, the time it takes can still lead people to want to resort to alternative methods of the high seas. Not that I have anyone in particular in mind when it comes to taking forever to release things publicly...

DBLin's patreon is still open to new subscribers. It's just they have to have a Patreon account that was made before 2023-1-1. I can verify this. Because, I was able to subscribe a about a month ago. But, yes he does have a much stricter Patreon subscriber model than most other Patreon page owners. Though, I'm not sure the reason he made it this way or what difference it makes for him.
I see now that someone already brought this up. Also, before you ask. Sadly, my payment for this last month to DBLin didn't go though since I had my debit card locked and didn't have the extra cash anyways. But, I'll share who I got during my one month of DBLin's Patreon subscription. So, here is Honoka. Well, since I'm being harrassed on some linked apps. I'll be taking this down.

Imagine you go out and work like a d__ for 12+ hours a day for a small salary and come back exhausted and see this, someone leaks something you spent a small amount of time making every night for a month and sells it to them for what to them is just a meal but to you that amount of money can feed you for a few days.
Then other people will take it and trade it or resell it. You lose money buying mods while they spend nothing and still make money.
