Am I the only one who thinks the 'true fan' definition is a bit... icky? If I have a person who buys everything I offer, regardless of if it's a duplicate of something I already offered earlier, regardless of quality, that person sounds like they put me on way too much of a pedestal. I'd rather have fans that go 'nah, this ain't worth it, I ain't buying' when I send out something that's dog shit. The 'true fan' definition on offer sounds a bit too stalker-y to me.

It can bring with it the anxiety of living up to their expectations. This is present for big celebs too, but in this case the pressure is amplified because you are kind of close to these 1000 or so guys, and they pay you.
