  He's a known quantity, and has spent a long time building a community for free - I've been reading his newsletter for a long time. The folks he has in the forum are cool and smart, and also I know he does his research so I trust what he writes. Worth the cash.

  €80/yr is about the same price as a magazine subscription. It's a fair price for good content. Free content is an inherent compromise - the creators are always splitting their attention between creating content and raising revenue. Patreon has had a hugely positive impact on a lot of content creators. They're not worrying about the latest algorithm changes on YouTube or AdSense, they're not chasing down sponsorship or shady native advertising, they're just doing what they do best.
