Discord could eat Patreon’s lunch overnight if they wanted to. Every Patreon I’ve been interested in was just a paywall for a Discord community.

- kro 3y agoDiscord has already started integrating their own payment for content/channels recently. https://discord.com/serversubscriptions https://discord.com/serversubscriptions
- squigz 3y agoAnd they desperately need to roll it out to more countries... sad Canadian noises
- diggan 3y agoFunny, none of the Patreons I'm subscribing to or been interested in, has been paywalls for Discord communities.
- corbezzoli 3y agoSame, I only hear about Patreon on YouTube.
- concordDance 3y agoFiction authors are who I give my patron money to.
- stinkytaco 3y agoHalf of them provide discord access and 75% a custom rss feed for a subscriber only podcast in my list. And frankly, I only take advantage of a couple of those. Mostly I just do it to throw a few dollars to stuff I like and don't use the perks. I can't be the only one.
- scantron4 3y agoThis for me. I don't use patreon perks for the people I support on an ongoing basis. I have subscribed for perks (templates for some productivity tool) and then unsubscribed a couple of months later, but that wasn't an ongoing creator I watch all the time. I guess getting my SMBC comics by email is convenient but I already have an RSS feed reader and early access isn't important.
