I was interacting in a discussion on the threads all and asks the question of what lenses they decided to shoot a certain photo with, they responded that they only divulge that information for a specific tier of this Patreon. Is it just more or is they really weird and gatekeepy? Hell, if anyone asked me what glass I was shooting on I’d happily let them know the lenses and anything else they wanted to know, just seems hella weird to me.
I think a lot of people don’t understand the effect focal length has on an image. I also think a lot of creators can struggle with differentiation when it comes to perks for supporters as opposed to viewers. So there might be some value in that. However, I think if that information were part of the content the creator would get much more value from the content possibilities.
So, I wouldn’t call it wired, but it is maybe a little desperate and misguided.
