No, you don't. That would be simply copying them and going head to head against them. I am doing neither. Just because I am taking the general idea of selling digital content does not mean I have to know what exactly patreon does or or

I am not trying to copy Patreon. I am merely implementing the general idea of selling your digital content online. That's all. If people like Patreon and their monetization channels, I am not here to try and steal them away. Not my int

> The IRS and Patreon need to know who you are. Patrons don't. As i commended elsewhere, if Patreon acts as the publisher, then yes. The authors are merely sub-contractors and their relationship with patrons is quite different. >

"publishers" is the keyword here. You have answered your own question.

Yes, but these are true artists that make one-off sales. It is not a business for them(not legally). Where you have no legal obligation to become a "business". Author on Patreon on the other hand cannot claim to be "opportuni

Well, that presupposes that patreon itself is the publisher and you as patron/payee are doing business with them and not with the author. Which is the same model that youtube uses. I have never been author on patreon, so i have no idea

> There is no anonymity between the creator and Patreon, or between Patreon and patrons. The anonymity is between the creator and the patrons. that is exactly the problem. You have two relationships here: author -> patreon and author

I get that but you cannot be selling anonymously as long as it is a way for you to make a living, fully or partially, and it is not a one time thing(like selling some used items on ebay or similar website). I cannot speak for all countries

in that case, maybe i did not properly understood how the author describes that model.

I am actually developing a platform to compete with pateon. And the author is quite naive in his complaints. You cannot do business and be anonymous. The tax man would eat you alive. At least outside of USA. You also need a license as sole

if you keep taking all you red on the internet literally, without applying a grain of your own thinking, you won't maker it far in life.

if i allow one sign up/in request per ip per second, i have no fear of bots. i could implement additional "rate limit" per ip per request if i needed and ban ips if they exceed it manually. it's very easy to do. humans d

CAPTCHA is pain in the ass. In a project I am working on, I have two forms I needed to protect - sign up and sign in. Sign up form does not do anything beside storing credentials in cache and waits for confirmation email link to be used. Si

By definition containers are static. Of course I could use them but it would essentially only add one step into the build process and I would gain absolutely noting from it. And I have no reason to use containers only for the sake of using

It is one code base with multiple servers in it. It is a 5x Go + 2x Quasar. Mostly two Go servers are actively developed while the remaining three are quite static with sporadic changes. The UI servers are in active development with hotrelo

I have been always using Foundation CSS over Bootstrap. But this looks good. Although I am now using Quasar which has its own style already. Though quite similar.

I am presently developing a project that runs five back-end servers and two front-end servers. I ended up solving the same issues of ports with traefik, like the author. But it must be said that traefik's configuration is a nightmare t

I am a Go fan and have been coding in it for years, but this crap: func Clone[S ~[]E, E any](s S) S { return append(s[:0:0], s...) } looks just like Rust, which has the fugliest syntax I have ever seen. Personally I use maybe 3 or 4 gen

Why files though, and why move them into different directories? You said billions a day. With files, the physical drive must be taking a beating. Not to mention potential issues with directory file limitations(based on OS and file system).
