The Dwarf Fortress authors set up their Patreon[1] a while ago, haven't updated it much since, and is giving them 4K per month, so... I guess that if you want to throw some money regularly at some project it's one of your best options, regardless of the author's ability to sell the brand.

- pherq 10y agoThat's well within what they were making in donations per month prior to using Patreon, though. They already had the support, they just added another interface.
- Thimothy 10y agoYeah, and they were doing that well before automatic online monthly payments were a thing!! People actually took some minutes every month to send them money. But, to the point, it's not like you could accuse the Zach bros of "selling their own image as a brand". They just have this thing they are making, a healthy relationship with the community (but nothing histrionic like your average youtuber), and people just gives them money because they want them to continue making that thing.
