Whats your take on Patreon (and services like it), have you ever considered one or been told to make one?

personally I think its cool that if you have a game community that wants to support you or just people that like your work in general that can support you a little for your work. and Ive been told I should make one but I dont see the point for my own case personally.

Im only asking on here cause I just want more opinions from other Developers

    I think it's a very important place/concept, it alows for small teams/single people that aren't companies get funding for sometimes genius ideas without selling them

    @SoldierOfCode yeah, I feel like it’s usually a good alternative for side cash and receiving support

    @Bubbles it also give a pretty good idea on two very important factor, how many people want it(amount of donations), and how *much* people want it(avarage donation amount)

    Which no other form of funding can give you with such accuracy.

    I have one.
    3$ a month currently, will probably go to 13$ by next month if everything goes as expected.
    I only dislike the fee they take, other than that, no complaints.

    @PrivateGER holy shit good job, if you don’t mind me asking.. what is the bot you developed?

    @Bubbles Essentially, it's an anime art searching bot, but focused on sites like r34 and stuff. You know what I mean.
    I originally only intended it for a personal server and and it suddenly blew up after I added it to a list.

    @PrivateGER oh damn that’s cool. Ive made one but I wanted to rewrite it/maybe make it public if anyone wanted to try it in other servers I’m in.

    Do you host it somewhere?

    @Nanos It depends entirely what plan you choose on Patreon, the cut they take frok me is 8% fixed for the "Pro" default plan.
    Payment processing fees are 5% + 0.10$ for anything below 3$, everything above is 2.9% + 0.30$.
    VAT and other stuff is simply slapped onto the bill of the supporter and not covered by the page owner.
