Oh and you could never support any project that has anything that the banks don't like, which then included porn, lgbt rights, fair use drm exemptions and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember any more. Pretty much, I was planning a system for bug bounties in 2011, after doing some back of the envelope calculations it turned out you would need 150% overhead for a $10 bounty with human due diligence and using master card/visa/pay pal. I just think it's a mediocre solution if what you want is to create a stable, predictable, and mature small business out of your work. I guess it's also good for big time influencer types who are in growth mode and not worrying about their overhead. >I actually kind of agree with this: Patreon is indeed a good way to earn enough money to buy dinner once a week or whatever. "Accuracy" is close, but doesn't capture the element of time. : Aside, I was trying to write this sentence in the form "re-review the information for ", but couldn't think of the right word. The more payment processors you support, the harder it is to avoid handling the money directly, which means more legal hurdles (regulations, liability) the simpler alternative (that op is currently pursuing, for those practical reasons, although it is limiting in some respects) is to coordinate donations though other platforms. That said, I would not be surprised if none exist. So, if you or anyone else are aware of particular services that are notable for their flexibility in payment providers, please let me know and I'll add them to the page. #Just roll with it patreon update#but we do update the page if we hear about new ot changed services through other channels. We don't proactively search for new services or re-review those listed to make sure the information is still up to date. Which really doesn't work for someone like me who can go silent for months at a time due to depression.) (I will note that I do kinda feel like Patreon's sort of abandoned the per-creation model, it's not uncommon to see them roll out new features that only work on the monthly model. I've gotten several years of paying my rent out of Patreon and that lower signup friction is well worth their cut IMHO. Like I think I got all of fifty bucks, once, out of the Paypal donation button I used to have on my old comics. But my experience is that people now know what is up with Patreon, and are much more likely to say "okay sure I'm in, I'll give you a few bucks per page of your weird-ass comics for a while" than to sign up for anything else I've ever done. I might get a bigger percentage if I fucked around with some other way to create recurring payments, sure. #Just roll with it patreon free#Which does not bother doing any authentication because it's all ultimately gonna be free on the public pages of my site anyway. I don't use any of its integrations, I just go to the web UI and upload a new page and type some stuff about it now and then, and also hit up my gloriously-unfashionable Wordpress-based site and add the same file to the secret-patrons-only whole-chapter-WIP page. Works fine for me, when I'm not struggling to make progress on my work due to waves vaguely at 2020, Patreon lets me pay my rent by drawing comics about robot ladies with reality problems and cartoon animal space operas. It actually makes it somewhat worse, because HTR's first couple years of videos weren't narrated. It still doesn't reduce the total scrolling. I really wish I could just pay HTR through Youtube.īTW - before someone posts "You can sort inverse chronologically" - yes, I now see that you can do that. I discover content on youtube and through friends, and rarely add/remove creators anyway.Īll I want is to see is a dense easily navigable list of patron only content! Youtube is excellent for this - just a list of thumbnails. It's also pretty nearly my only interaction with. Scroll back to the next part and watch it. Thankfully I didn't close the tab in #4 (learned that the hard way). Scroll down some more to the first part.Ħ) Open video in a new tab, watch the first couple minutes. But now there's no filter for Patron Only Content! WTF?Ĥ) Let's see, where what was the last video I watched? Scroll down. There's a list of my creators on the left though, so.ģ) Click on "Hand Tool Rescue" on the left side. There's a tantalizing "Patron Only Content" filter here, but that's for "all creators". Now I'm looking at a blog roll of all my creators. It looks like this: There are no links to who I'm following or content to consume.Ģ) After scratching my head a few minutes, click on my tiny persona icon top right, then click on "Posts from my creators". I'm logged in, so it takes me to /creator-home. To go back and watch all of his old stuff:ġ) Visit. I have time to watch one maybe every few days. His patron-only content is narrated versions of his restoration videos, which typically run 20+ minutes long. I recently subscribed to (patronized?) Hand Tool Rescue.
