Are you paying for work that isn't being uploaded?

Stuff like Patreon is usually per-time period, not per-piece, right? So, there might be a commitment for a person to post a certain number of pieces in a given time period, but with subscription services like that you're usually not paying directly for pieces?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this - I don't think it really makes a difference either way but I'm curious

Creators were able to set up their pledges per-piece, but I don’t know if they still can. I backed someone who set up that way and had to cancel when they suddenly tripled their output one month.

Not OP, but pretty much.

Most of the creators I support have a certain number of things they post in a month on a sliding scale depending how much you pay.

So if you're paying somebody $10 a month for a pin up, a sketch page, a couple of headshots and a WIP and all they're posting is the WIP, you're not getting what you're paying for. Likewise if you're in a tier for just a comic page and they fail to upload that comic page, you're not getting what you pay for.

Supporting artists you enjoy the work of financially without having to put the price of a commission down is really nice, but at the end of it all, it's still a transaction. It's expected that the artist uphold their side of the bargain.
