Thank you for the offer.
I'm not sold on Patreon, for a number of reasons. I get the intuitive appeal of it if one is a starving artist, and I get the appeal on the consumer side. I am not really a starving artist, though, and as a commercial proposition it competes with things like my market clearing price as a W-2 employee, my rate card as a consultant, or selling software to businesses. When I compare those numbers to my guesses at the impact of Patreon-ing, I find myself thinking "Patreon does not come close to a motivational number, but it probably pays just enough to activate Disutility From Working Strictly For Money."
Or, as someone once put it, "I have two prices: free and expensive."

- toomuchtodo 9y agoThanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if there was any way to properly compensate you for your time for sharing your usual extremely valuable experiences, and that was the first thought that came to mind. No offense intended.
