From GP: >> Would be amazing if the author publishes each series as a book. Seems like someone having problems reading long texts on a screen, which I get, and would be willing to pay for a physical book of the same content.

  Not behind the paywall = free content. That’s the fundamental rule of running a Patreon.

    As a subscriber to Bret's Patreon for over a year now, I'm doing it as a donation to support his work, not as a quid pro quo to get access to more stuff.

  A more charitable interpretation for that cohort of comments would be: - I have a physical disability or a deficiency in my personal technological capital that reduces the accessibility of this content - TFA is good but could be improved even further by [more accessible presentation|change in format] and here are some specific ideas that I submit for your consideration Humans seem to take ambiguous content in the most negative way - and online comments, lacking social cues, are often ambiguous. It's a real benefit to discussion to read with a charitable eye. Do you really believe GGP to intend to scold TFA?
