If Patreon were to add a feature to do one-time, no sign-up required contributions to any of the orgs currently using it, would this be survivable for you?
Do you have ideas of ways to increase value to make using your service over others more worthwhile or is the one-time, no sign-up required contribution process the primary feature right now?
- jijosunny 7y agothat's a great question! broadly, I think it's an overkill for certain types of creators (say an Instagrammer or Twitch streamer) to launch a Patreon. Buy Me A Coffee is a far more casual and friendly way to accept contributions from your fans. We also differentiate from Patreon in a lot of ways. For e.g., creators love that we're putting fans/supporters in the front-and-center (like Twitch), which also encourages more contributions.
