    UPDATE 6/2025: I became a paid member of the Patreon shortly after it was announced in 2023. In September 2024, I sprung for the annual subscription. However, since I didn’t auto renew, they cut all my access to the content I had paid for through September 2025. PLUS ALL THESE ADS DESPITE PAYING TO LISTEN??? Pocketed my money and gave me nothing despite sending multiple inquiries via Patreon. Disappointed in this grifter behavior from Doree.
