Well that's the first time I encounter this. I have been using Patreon for years and typically a creator who locks content even often mention "Please do not share outside". It's also often hosted on YouTube but usually unlisted.

Can you please give me an example of locked content that is openly shared outside? I guess I don't understand the monetization in that situation so I'd appreciate if you could help me get what they are doing here.
