For video ads, Patreon has absolutely made it work for a lot of creators. Quite some high quality content that previously had sponsors on every video is now able to work primarily off of community contributions.
- crazygringo 6y agoOh sure, it absolutely works for individual subscription sites, but that's a completely different thing. The proposal here is about applying that to the entire internet under a single subscription fee, or at least a sizable proportion of sites overall.
- somedude895 6y agoPatreon amazes me. I see channels that aren't huge (1-2m subs) that make a good living simply because some of their fans decide to make monthly donations. It's a phenomenon that I haven't been able to wrap my head around yet. People willing to pay for someone to be able to keep doing their job if they could just consume their content for free.
