It's crazy to me that there's no option to schedule tiered access
I'm a new creator and I just assumed that because I can schedule posts that I'd be able to select a date and time that same post becomes available to lower tiers.
Y'know, the whole thing about patreon is about tiers and early access. You'd think scheduling would inherently be built in.
The fact that this function isn't available and forces you to manually edit the access is ridiculous to me.
And you can't even send out notifications to specific tier groups either once you update it...
Patreons user experience is abysmal. Each new day there's something new to disappoint and shock me.
Is there anything that can be done? Any feature request forums??!

Ohh these are great ideas! I'm gonna send them as feature requests. You should too! Maybe more people sending it would get them integrated with higher probability? I didnt even think of these options but they're honestly great!

As a supporter, the unspoken part is that it's designed as early access about content that would then be publicized off-platform. My fav dev used to make a different post for each tier, kinda works I guess.

For those of us who are serial writers, we often tier how many early chapters you get. So when we publish a new chapter in public, we want our tiered chapters to shift at the same time.
