What I dislike about Patreon is that they don't let you make a one-off payment, you have to give monthly.
Sometime I run into something I appreciate and want to give, but want to give once, and can't because of this.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoOne-off payments are nice but aren't a good basis for working on something full-time. My fosspay service allows people to pay one-offs, but those aren't very helpful for sustainability.
- always_good 9y agoAlso, in my experience, some people will consider you beholden to their wishes in perpetuity because they once gave you $5. Patreon helps get around that by requiring a monthly commitment. I realized that one-off donations aren't worth it.
