I don't tend to take advantage of members-only content either, but for me it's purely a matter of convenience. If Patreon had an authenticated RSS feed link in user profiles, I absolutely would use it, but I can rarely be bothered (or even remember, really) to actually visit the website.
It doesn't feel like a loss, though. I mean, if I'm supporting someone's work, it's on the strength of what I could already see before I started doing that.

But I think you mean for all content? I emulate this by enabling e-mail notifications for all posts from some creators and auto-forwarding them to Newsblur for newsletter reading. Maybe that helps.
- throwanem 6y agoThat actually really might! I've been in the market for a new reader, since Feedly's product people seem hellbent on making it worse with every update, and Newsblur might be just the thing. And while it hadn't occurred to me until you mentioned that (for which thanks!), any email-to-RSS gateway should let me do what I'm looking for. One thing Feedly hasn't managed to ruin, yet at least, is the "today" view, with items from all sources sorted by time. Does Newsblur do something similar? Their iOS screenshots don't make it easy to tell.
- techsupporter 6y agoThere's an "All Site Stories" category that shows all unread articles from each site (a newsletter counts as a "site") with the most recent entry at the top. Most recent is across all sites, so something like this: - Site 2, 08:34 - Site 1, 08:19 - Site 3, 07:49 - Site 2, 06:02 - Site 3, 05:55 And so on, if that makes sense. I haven't looked for a "show me everything, unread or not, sorted by time" feature but if it's not there the dev just might add it for you.
- OJFord 6y agoI've never used Patreon, but couldn't people just put the password for a publicly accessible feed behind their paywall?
- throwanem 6y agoEach creator would have to separately set that up. The right place to do it is Patreon, which already aggregates their posts for subscribers.
