Sounds like Patreon helped you after all.
I'm not saying that they promote or market you, but having the name (much like Apple) seems enough to encourage people to pay you.
OTOH, I certainty don't think that their cut sounds like a good deal; rather, it sounds more like your options are a bad deal or no deal at all.
- iseanstevens 4y agoApple also gives a full suite of developer tools, documentation, example code. Built in debugging, testing, simulation. If you have a design/image creation software and XCode you could make almost any app. Patreon doesn’t give any tools to creators to directly create.
- zdragnar 4y agoAye, that just further reinforces my last paragraph.

- tootie 4y agoI'm actually just thinking about content. Part of our business is podcasts and selling premium subscriptions incurs a 30% take and all you get is some consideration in placement in Apple Podcasts. And you lose direct access to your customers.
