Mods behind paywalls.

@krashadam Yea, i only saw this after rendering the video. There are still some issues, if i can improve it more and fix the issue, then i will put it in a future car mod

Considering there are some extremely talented modders out there (like RSMODS, for instance), you'd have to be exceedingly talented for me to fork over money to you. Chances are you are not that good.
Also, I think mods should be free, really. Everyone has the right to charge whatever they want, of course, but when ppl start asking money for their VIP mods, it usually means they'll begin to neglect their free mods business -- meaning this entire site will start to suffer.
Also, 'for free' doesn't mean you get nothing: it means everyone gets to share the stuff everyone makes, thus making everyone richer for it.

I can absolutely agree with that. I mean, so many people are annoyed by EA or Ubisoft charging extra money for tiny DLCs, new weapons and all that stuff... but charging up to 25$ for a mod (as seen here) is exactly the same shit these companies do, or even worse. I always felt like the modding scene was more passion-oriented, creating mods for the sake of creating something unique. I mean, that's what got me into modding back then; seeing all these additions to a game that looked even better than the game itself, created by a group of people who loved it so much that they would spend their time creating these things for free.
Don't get me wrong, I don't despise money at all. But I think, in our scene, Patreon should rather work as a donation platform than as a paywall. You give a couple of dollars to the modders you like and support. Not because there's no other way to get their mods, but because you love their work. Perks like getting a mod 2 days earlier or being able to vote which mod should come next are absolutely okay, but hiding mods behind a paywall is just... not good.
