Some plans created by creators support the "Continuation Bonus."
With these plans, the range of posts you can view expands over time—starting from when you join—through continued subscription or purchases.
This does not affect plans you joined before this feature was introduced, or plans that do not use the Continuation Bonus. You can check whether this mechanism is used on the screen before joining a plan. (It is shown as in the image below.)
Range you can view right after joining
- Viewable: posts from the current month and the previous month
- Not viewable: posts older than the month before last
Posts are unlocked for free as you continue
As you keep your subscription, past posts are automatically unlocked for free.
- For every 2 months of continued subscription, one additional past month is unlocked for free
- The free unlock is reflected the month after you reach 2 months of continued subscription
- While subscribed, you can also view new posts each month
Example) If you join in June
| Subscription status | Viewable range |
|---|---|
| Right after joining | June, May |
| 2 months continued (as of August) | August–April |
| 4 months continued (as of October) | October–March |
| 6 months continued (as of December) | December–February |
Purchase past months to view them (Unlock past posts)
Without waiting for your subscription to continue, you can also purchase past months and view them right away.
How to unlock past posts:
1. Select My subscribed plans
2. Select a plan that supports this feature
3. Select the Unlock tab, and press the "Purchase" button shown for the month you want to buy
- Both purchasing and viewing are only possible while you are subscribed to the plan
- This is not a one-time purchase, so you will no longer be able to view them once you cancel
Notes when canceling
When you cancel a plan, you will no longer be able to view both of the following.
- Posts you could view through the plan
- Posts you gained access to by unlocking past posts
If you want to view them again, you will need to subscribe to the plan once more.
About posts whose publication period has expired
Posts for which the creator set a publication deadline that has already passed (posts turned into back numbers) are not covered by the Continuation Bonus feature.
They cannot be viewed through the Continuation Bonus or by unlocking past posts; they can only be viewed if you separately purchase the back number.
