I disagree. There's a lot of folks using zapier that would like some light automation -- I have fielded requests from several -- who are not engineers and cannot build anything with an api. The bit where they built out the functional

There are a handful of court decisions. One in Austria for a newspaper that said accept ads/data collection or buy a subscription which was, at least initially, ruled acceptable per gdpr. And I think there's been some challenges

If musicians just want shopify but for music, you can cut all the editorial and just be a store backend. So yes, I bet they can. Which is what the new owners seem to have done.

eh, going to be completely contrarian. Bandcamp appears to have been making almost no money / very little net profit. That's fine, as long as the owner is ok running it that way. The users of bandcamp -- both artists and fans --

1500 employees on an average of $100k pa is approx $195m dollars in salary, taxes, benefits, etc. If you have a bunch of engineers and that average is more like $150k, it goes even faster. They raised $260m in April 2022.

If the median wage you can pay is capped at maybe $70k-ish, it's delusional to call someone a "greedy maniac".

It also could be a purely financial decision. Bandcamp claimed $51m in revenue (I assume gross?) in 2016 [1] and, per reporting, had about $20m in net revenue in 2022 [2]. With the reported 210 employees, that's $95k in net revenue (

This broadly seems -- for a blind user -- like the monitor periodically taking a break for a sighted user. Seems like it would get real old by, like, the 3rd time or so.

There certainly were defects in the deploy process, and we have since moved to a much better method. This was our docs tree, so it didn't break the code, just the, well, public documentation. It just was annoying that you can use a su

5% margins are terrible if you're trying to bootstrap. 5% margins with tons of payments are worse. If you have one CS interaction with a patreon paying $1-$3 a month, you likely just ate a decade's profit. Businesses like these

by x0x0 3y ago
I think the real answer may be that patreon is, actually, a bad business; and that nobody has cracked microtransactions. Separately, while Patreon's charging changes seem boneheaded, I'd guess at least a 50% chance that they weren
