Good old Patreon (Rant)
General | Posted 8 years agoI don't know where to start.
First of all, I'm not against Artists making a few buck out of donation,
However my only issue is.... well... Almost everyone is on it
So for people like me who wish to follow many artists, I would have to spend hundred of dollars every months to keep up with my favorite artists
Say you're a fan of like 20 Artists, each of them have a Patreon and request 5-10$ to view their content.
Well.. to view all the content you'll have to pay between 100 and 200$ a month.
Well... I don't have that money and Even if I did, I doubt i would spend that much money for it. Instead, I would probably request commissions.
It also means that I lose on quite a lots of exclusive content.
So to some extend I miss the time where these artists were doing stuff for the fun of it and taking commissions.
I feel like a better "platform" to help the artist getting a bit of cash would be some sort of "universal" donation.
Like a place where you pay a given amount every month and have access to pretty much every artist's collections.
the profit would be divided to all the artists on the site instead.
In the end, If I really want to see something I have to pay a single month and stop which is kinda unfortunate,
I don't want to cut the revenues of these people, However I don't want to pay Hundred of dollars every month just to stay up to date with my favorite artists
Id rather pay for my Netflix account and extra food for the month.
I have no idea if anyone will see this little rant anyway, so perhaps i'm just speaking to a wall, though it doesn't matter
It's been month that I wanted to clear my mind and put it out of my chest.
If there's anyone in here who took the time reading,
What's your thought on the matter?
Also, thanks for the attention I guess
