I am afraid it will NOT be all "ponies and rainbows" as you described. You see, Patreon developers CAN see your email address and generate lists which may be sold to third parties. So while they profit from the pr0n SPAM in your mailbox, you can rest in the comfort of knowing that your MOD folder is safe only if you access the internet using a bootable usb stick with BSD or Linux installed on it. Deep web hackers will not pay anything for information but big tech corporations will gladly purchase it for huge sums of money.
Today's service announcement is: "If you did not pay anything to use the service, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!"
If you have not noticed, I fall into the DEFECTIVE PRODUCT category.... HA HA HA
Hmmm...
First, you trust a hacker who offers you paid mods for free? Free? Really? Do you think Santa Claus delivers mods or that the Easter Bunny hides cracks in eggs?
Second, you're worried about an official content creator seeing your email, but you hand over your soul (and your information) to a hacker without even blinking. It's like jumping off a cliff hoping to land on a soft mattress.
Third, you think hackers don't sell your information because it's not worth their while. Oh, my sweet friend! The deep web is a black market where your personal information is sold like hotcakes.
In short, your argument is illogical, dangerous, and with a predictably disastrous ending.
