Many creators mentioning they lost hundreds of their patrons suddenly and patrons confused as to why their payments are being declined. Patreon is such an old company that hasnt done anything to improve their service for years while the CEO makes youtube videos and seemingly nothing with the company. I hate how much of a monopoly they have in the space, they clearly have no vision for improving their website or app.
Is it actually better? There are things like open collective and GitHub sponsors too… Choices are great, but the choices aren’t clear
Is it actually better?
No idea, I don’t use either. I don’t even know what you mean by “better” in this context.
I mean, does it pay creators better/does it actually do the job of funding someone better? i.e. what’s the advantage? Is it just kind of a meaningless difference or will creators benefit?
They pay creators your entire donation minus the cost to do donation. They only make money from their own donation page.
