patreon rip is reading my home feed when it's fed a patreon page that no longer exists.

So, I've got a list of my favorite patreons, that I copy/paste into the cli to update my rips.

One of the artists deleted their patreon, and now that same copy/paste tries to rip my entire homepage feed in that slot instead of skipping over it.

So, uh, yeah, gallery-dl see's

This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment.

and just treats it as if I tried to rip patreon.com instead of patreon.com/artistname.

Ideally deleted pages would not have this result.

edit: note, I let it finish entirely, and it actually for some reason just rips the first artist on my list of followed artists off my homepage, anytime it's fed another artist's deleted page.

Could you post a --verbose log of this happening?
When I'm trying to download from a non-existing user, it gives me a 404 and correctly reports it (with and without logged in cookies):

$ gallery-dl -v patreon.com/404notfound

Maybe just checking for a redirect is good enough?

This bug requires a user that does exist but has deleted their creator page. It does say

just like your example but:

no clue why it's doing this and moving to another creator without being told to.
