Would companies like Patreon benefit?
- gpm 8y agoI see Patreon as being in two separate businesses - Providing an easy way to setup a recurring donation to an artist. This would probably benefit. - Providing an easy way for artists to sell a stream of digital works. This would probably not benefit. I'm not sure how much of patreon's income comes from each business, and the answer depends on that.
- TheAceOfHearts 8y agoI think it would. A lot of people on Patreon have a very simple model: you pay to get access to the highest quality version of the thing and you get access before everyone else. To give an example, I support a singer that puts out a few songs every month. When she publishes something she includes the wav and a link to the unlisted YouTube video. Then a few weeks later she makes the video public and she puts up her song everywhere. After following her for a while on YouTube I eventually became a supporter because I want her to continue making great music.
