Huh. I'm surprised by the amount of... niche material in the first few pages. I guess Patreon is a pretty good platform for industries that have constant demand for new material, but aren't necessarily large enough that it makes sense for content creators to manage payment themselves.
- smeyer 11y agoFor anyone else who wasn't thinking very quickly today, these commenters are using "niche" as a euphemism for "erotic".
- throwaway999666 11y agoWhat is the euphemism for "prudes"?
- Coding_Cat 11y agoI think it might also be a case of a lack of funding via more traditional routes: even though 'niche material' has often been shown to be quite the money-maker it can still be quite hard to get funding for a 'niche' venture the traditional way (and even among the "new players", kickstarter doesn't allow 'niche' material).
- egypturnash 11y agoPorn sells. Porn sells a lot. But people who make porn have the problem that nobody wants to be associated with it, so they constantly have to find new ways of getting paid to make porn. Gumroad was popular for a while, for instance, until they altered their TOS to forbid it and started cracking down. Right now, Patreon is cool with porn. Especially with cartoon porn - IIRC their official stance is "no porn but we turn a blind eye to cartoon porn unless you draw kids fucking or stuff like that". So all the cartoon pornmongers are leaping onto it. When Patreon decides to be tougher on porn, they'll go elsewhere.
