If you create a patreon account using a simplelogin alias, patreon will automatically flag it as suspicious after a few minutes and delete the account.

This means you can make an account. Purchase whatever you wanted and wait. The account will be deleted as suspicious and the money is automatically refunded.

would be interesting to automate this and archive content to https://kemono.su/

I don’t think money is automatic refunded on account deletions. Also, if you’re registering your card on multiple accounts, it will get flagged. One thing every service is good at is handling payment info.

Unless you have proof charges were automatically reversed.

But again, it would theoretically work one time.

It was for me, I got a notice of a refund just a few hours after the account closer email.

Again I just discovered this and don't want to come off like it's a for sure thing.

In terms of payments methods, patreon seems to accept virtual cards, which makes it easy to avoid using the same payment method or tying any part of your identity to the transaction.

I've been using a SimpleLogin alias on Patreon for a while and have never been flagged, so there's that.

Interesting. Could be I'm attributing the wrong factor to what's causing the ban.

I currently can't find, if patreon videos work correctly (I seem to remember they do). For other services they work. Most people simply upload unlisted to youtube or on mega or some on vimeo with patreon integration.
For the ones on vimeo use the following yt-dlp command:

yt-dlp --referer https://patreon.com/ https://player.vimeo.com/video/<video-id>

simplelogin

It does work with videos. Though Kemono is more focused on Animated/2D stuff. You have more chance of finding real life stuff on Coomer.su
