Should've just set up a Patreon page for Patreon.

  That's how Gratipay does it: https://gratipay.com/Gratipay/ https://gratipay.com/Gratipay/ But they're only getting enough to pay for like, 1/10th of a developer...

    Also, Bountysource: https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/bountysource https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/bountysource What amuses me is how software projects prefer Patreon instead of Bounstysource

      Really? I've not yet seen any software projects on patreon.

          Oh wow. That's a surprisingly long list. As someone who actively backs multiple people on patreon, I'm surprised that I didn't see this before now.

        Many twitch streamers prefer patreon. I have no idea; just stating that I noticed it when watching some twitch events.
        • dkersten 9y ago
          Twitch and YouTube streamers - sure. I see a lot of them. But, software projects? Or so you mean these streamers are streaming while they code or whatever?

    > only getting enough That's because total volume is so low. Back when it mattered we were seeing 5% of volume as income to Gratipay, comparable to Patreon, etc.
