I'm not too up-to-speed with Patreon, is it like twitch but for any type of creative content?
- spike021 9y agoNot so much like Twitch, IMO. Patreon is purely for gathering a fanbase with open communication between fans and creators and the ability to share content in exchange for support of the creators. So a musician might link to private music videos on youtube with the financial supporters on Patreon first. Or they might provide a special .mp3 that is only available there. As far as I know, Patreon doesn't actually have the capability to host videos itself (I could be wrong since I haven't looked at it in a while).
- MrRadar 9y agoPatreon is more like Kickstarter but for ongoing projects/support (e.g. web comics, YouTube channels, etc.). People can set up accounts to charge per item produced/released (e.g. per comic page or per video) or on a straight monthly basis.
