Cool in paper, not so much in practice.

I totally reccomend patreon as a tip jar for your favourite artists, but it’s very at-your-own-risk if you are after rewards.

I would go so far as to say that’s it’s foolish to use Patreon to receive rewards from content creators.

I do not agree with some of Patreon's choices

I seriously thought about using Patreon to support an artist friend, but after Fenoxo had to gut his game of all mentions of incest, I can't support Patreon. I believe it's only a matter of time before they start banning all NSFW content.

I don't like patreon

I don't want to support patreon. It deleted some youtuber I liked because of hate speech.

I also don't want to use fiat money in the internet nor support the fiat money system at all.

I'd like to pay artists using crypto currencies, preferably IGNIS.

I'd also like to be paid in crypto currencies, when someone likes my works.

I wish there were a way to see what my own vote was. It's been a while.

New Answer Suggestion

The only reason I voted "WTF is Patron????" is I don't have any money, so none of the "No" answers appealed to me. So I have a new answer for the poll to suggest!

 

"No, because I don't have any money to support them with."

no never again.

when patreon first started i was a huge supporter, but as time went on it became less of a way to show my support, and more of a pay wall. i quickly canceled all my pledges, it depresses me to see how such a great tool has been used for greed, and forces people to either pay out money or deal with scraps and adds for the patron content.

 

Yeah sorry but I can't hardly

Yeah sorry but I can't hardly scrape mony in to keep me afloat never mind giving it to someone else.

 

Not worth it so much.

I mean it would be worth it if I actually had enough money to just donate to peoples with awesome artwork.

But I don't ;-;...

Patreon...whatever

If you must have a fucking credit card to use it, it is pointless because not everyone can actually acquire a credit card, nor do they necessarily have the desire to have one.

 

I fall under both of those categories.

 

So yeah, bullshit.

You don't need a credit card

You don't need a credit card for patreon

You DO need a Credit-Card for

You DO need a Credit-Card for 18 Stuff, I geuss its all 18+-Stuff here so yes you DO need a CC =/

I want donate but I don't wanna use Patreon!
