@pettter Patreon could have made discovery better on the platform to increase everyone's income, instead they just added more marketing work for artists. Patrons brought in by artist efforts outside the platform & are therefore more limited.
It's a terrible platform imo.
Discouraging for artists trying to develop support. Only good if you already have support in which case their platform is giving them your time, income, & fanbase contact list for nothing. Either way, it's a waste.
