"We still think Patreon is a great solution for creators, but they now seem to be less about supporting creators plural, and more about supporting a creator singular (or perhaps one or two creators)"
Does anyone know what they're talking about with the "or perhaps one or two creators" part?
- trowawee 9y agoWith the fee change, if you have a budget of, say, $15 to spend on creators on Patreon, it makes sense to split that into as few pledges as possible to minimize the number of times you pay the fees.
- therealdrag0 9y agoMy guess is assuming this will change consumer behavior. Suppose bob sponsored 5 people at 1$ each before. Now if Bob gets charged a fee for each of the 5 contributions, he might change his election to 5$ to his single favorite creator, so that he is only charged 1 fee instead of 5.
