it is some work but you can get around that by hosting your own site and using Patreon as a login. that is what i am doing at http://eyeteeth.club . i do it with wordpress, there is a free plugin you can use to link your Patreon to your site and let people login through patreon.

of course it has upfront costs since you have to pay for webhosting and everything.

another way to do it that is free (or less expensive, i don't know) is to send updates out through dropbox. basically subscribers get a download link for every update, and after a few days you take the link down so nobody else can download it.

ask around, there are probably some other ways!
