When using "posts.published.after" the program will continue to fetch pages upon pages of posts, only to determine they are out of date.
Since Patreon is sorted by newest first by default, the program should finish once it hits a publish date that is out of range, when using posts.published.after.
Alternatively, the process can be sped up if "// -- 1.4 Config option 'include.postsPublished'" were done earlier in within PostDownloader because it currently checks the media type and tier first.
