That's an insane price ($5 a month). HBO subscription costs $14.99 a month. Expecting indi artists to get that level of revenue is insane.

- zeta0134 5y agoI currently pay this price for several of the Patreons I support, I'm not sure what makes this any different. I'd certainly rather throw money at a small handful of good content creators; quality over quantity, and my time is limited anyway.

- reilly3000 5y agoNot to pile on, but people give small monthly sums to all kinds of individuals and organizations for any number of reasons. It’s a huge factor for small and large publishers and creators alike. In many cases it’s outpacing ad revenue entirely. It’s great because it allows more freedom and incentivize quality.
- egypturnash 5y agoYou only need a few; I have a Patreon for my comics and so far I've gathered about eighty people willing to pay $1-5 per page, times 6-8 pages most months. Which covers most of my rent and expenses; doing private commissions fills in the gaps. They mostly have IT jobs and like the stuff I'm putting out for free enough to support it, fifty bucks a month is a drop in the bucket compared to what they're paying for rent in SF or Seattle or whatever. And I am absolutely nobody, I have all of like 1700 followers on Twitter, and am pretty much absent from other corporate social platforms.
