I don't disagree, but having some kind of medical situation isn't a prerequisite for gaming the Patreon system. I used to be a monthly patreon subscriber to someone years ago who put out weekly asmr videos. One day they just stopped cold turkey with no announcement, yet years later their Patreon is still up and still taking monthly donations.

Patreon fundamentally is a way to support your favorite artist.Be a PATRON of the arts. Some(most?) creators use it as an ad-hoc subscription method but it really isn't what Patreon is fundamentally built for.

if you're complaining about subscriptions that go into perpetuity your first target should be app stores that set up 10 year recurring payments in the biggest chunk possible for something you'll probably use for a couple of months before forgetting about.
