I 100% agree with this, that kind of shit would never fly in the Stardew Valley or Elder Scrolls modding community, I know they're different games that's not the point. This is not even something new, just look at the time when all the modding were focused on The Sims 2; do y'all remember peggy and other bullshit? No wonder paysitesmustbedrestroyed were/are a thing. It is like you said, they just outright create a patreon withouth making a name for themselves first. Just like start with tumblr, TSR, a site, or something else before rushing to patreon. What's more absurd is that majority of the time the CC is complete garbage, the mesh is wonky, the texture is poop, but you can't even tell at first sight because they edit the images to oblivion!!
Don't even get me started on "creators" who think they're some kind of all-powerfull cosmic entity who have the right to doxx people...
Honestly I don't know what's worse, them or the dumbasses that support and defend them
Me being from a shitty third world country could never afford becoming some creator's patron, I don't get payed in f'ing 'murica dollah or pounds
