A blanket tag for all the reward tags we have, currently.

While I understand the controversy behind the tags themselves, I do believe it's appropriate to have a blanket tag in cases where none of the child tags can apply (or multiple can apply, such as if a post is both on patreon/enty, or on enty/fantia e.g. asanagi, or all three e.g. haruhisky). Some artists choose an alternate service (such as Gumroad) to provide their older works or wholly separate and distinct works, so there's that also.

Plus, having a blanket tag would result in a more conclusive policy layout for how we'll treat these posts in the future (if we do, ever), and when and where these may apply.

commission is left out... for less-than-clear usage and presence.

I'll be linking to other topics regarding these later if I remember to, but for now this is what we've got.

EDIT: Note that I'm not including works from DLsite or DMM... We don't seem to be handling these any special way in particular, even though by all means these are also considered "paid".

EDIT: The bulk update request #1390 (forum #139495) has been approved by @NWF_Renim.

It's a bit more of a mouthful, but how about calling it crowdfunded_reward instead? All of those sites are considered "crowdfunding" sites, and having that as the tag would separate it from other paid models such as commissions or retail works.

Do we really need to disambiguate that though? The artist got paid either way to do the work, and its seen as a reward. Does it really matter if it was a single payer or multiple payers through a crowdfund? I personally don't see the need to split hairs over that.

Regardless, +1 to the above BUR.

For the record, I have just turned paid_reward into a meta tag.

A wiki for it should also be created. I can't currently do it because of my user settings (issue #3410), but if nobody else gets to it, I'll add it later today.

Written the wikipage. Feel free to revise it as necessary.

We probably shouldn't say "paid" reward given some of these sites allow free products like Gumroad (like post #2971726).

I'd say maybe site reward instead?

It was a paid tutorial until recently, I'd say paid reward still applies. Even if not, it's a gated reward (you gotta tell gumroad you want to pay the artist $0 for the tutorial.) Site reward is super vague.
