"Work that would otherwise be free now has value"
What do you like best about Patreon?

The key for Patreon is to assemble your gathering of people, at that point allow them to connect with you. Doing it the other route around is somewhat silly.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

The expenses are excessively over the top, benefactors who contribute $1 will have the vast majority of that support vanish into charges. Makers won't gain much on little installments.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time spent tweaking my blog to make something comparative would now be able to be spent recorded as a hard copy

"easy for me to use"
What do you like best about Patreon?

The advantages of Patreon are it's well-known, and I can upload text or images in seconds. I'm blessed with some Patrons. What competitors>. How thin can I, a multimedia artist and author, spread myself? I run my whole enterprise.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

One of my Patrons unsubscribed because she's disgusted with all those goddam fees, and she'd rather I, the artist, get all of the money I make. I wish Patreon would charge less fees. Another friend won't use Patreon for god knows why reasons.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Honestly, I don't know what a "CMS tool" is. Patreon is helping me solve the problem of "how do I get paid for my writing without sending out a jillion query letters and writing samples to X number of paid publishing markets? Writing takes research. It's solving somwhat the problem of "making more money".

"Fantastic Way To Connect With Your Customers!"
What do you like best about Patreon?

Patreon is an awesome way to connect with your customers and make them feel like they're part of a special community. We've done so many great things through Patreon - book clubs, special Zoom events, discount codes. With Patreon, it's easy to really foster a great connection!!

What do you dislike about Patreon?

I don't love the comment system on Patreon - I feel like I miss things sometimes. I'm not sure how to make that better though - it's really like posting on a blog post now, as opposed to something more social-media-like?

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

As said above, Patreon offers a way to connect with customers that's different from other platforms. People pay to access special content, and having that monthly income has helped us beyond our wildest dreams!

"There is no value in the work that is not currently available"
What do you like best about Patreon?

The key to Patreon is to organize your crowd gatherings and let them contact you. It’s a bit silly to do other routes.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

This cost exceeds the maximum, and donors who donate $1 will lose most of their support. Producers do not get much benefit in installment payments.

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

The time spent comparing my blogs for comparison can now be used as a hard copy record.

"While Patreon has degraded a bit in recent years, it's still the easiest subscription service."
What do you like best about Patreon?

-Flexible posting options (from podcasting to text to images, etc) -Low monthly fees/losses (I joined early at an early tier, though, before they started their current sillier payment solution) -Well-known (so users aren't scared of signing up) -Marketplace lets me also look for other creators who are doing interesting things -Secure and private messaging options to keep in touch with patrons -Integrates with a number of other software options--for example, whenever I get a new patron Patreon notifies my Bonjoro, which then lets me send them a video message as a thank-you

What do you dislike about Patreon?

-Apparently if you join now, you're given payment options that make you lose more money than if you joined when I did. If I were new, that would make me consider another service, perhaps like Payhip, which I can run myself. -They got rid of the Goals tier, which I thought was helpful for motivating patrons (but that's okay)

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Like everyone else who uses Patreon, I need a monthly solution that allows me to collect fees from users while providing them monthly support.

"Great on Paper, presumably Shaky in Values"
What do you like best about Patreon?

I love the platform itself and the way it straightforward it makes it to attach with associate audience as a creator. Their fees square measure affordable for what it permits, and for the complete safety that comes with paying a third party vs the creator directly.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

With recent events of Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, et al deed the platform, it referred to problems with censorship that haven't been adequately passed through by the corporate. that is created a small amount of a shaky foundation for creators like myself to believe and stand by the platform itself. With each difference of opinion, comes a brand new call for a creator to place their face and name next thereto company, or not. Their lack of response to a reasonably giant difference of opinion makes that tougher, wherever they might have merely taken a good former stance in making a secure surroundings for creators and their fans and solely associating the complete with creators that meet a transparent and public customary.

"Helpful way for content creators to monetize and connect with fans"
What do you like best about Patreon?

Patreon has been at the forefront of this type of monetization for content creators. They are a solution oriented and innovation focused team, continuously making tweaks and improvements to the platform. It is easy to setup and manage, and there are lots of great options for perks to patrons.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

I've been using Patreon for years and found it hard to convert my fans to become patrons, and even harder to maintain the perks I offered. I didn't feel like I was adding my value because my patrons weren't engaging in ways I found meaningful, so I became inactive and now just use it as a donation platform for fans that want to support me without on-going perks

What problems is Patreon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Monetizing my online content, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and newsletter.

"Great on Paper, Possibly Shaky in Values"
What do you like best about Patreon?

I love the platform itself and how it easy it makes it to connect with an audience as a creator. Their fees are reasonable for what it allows, and for the brand safety that comes with paying a 3rd party vs the creator directly.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

With recent events of Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and others leaving the platform, it brought up issues of censorship that haven't been adequately responded to by the company. That's created a bit of a shaky foundation for creators such as myself to believe in and stand by the platform itself. With every controversy, comes a new decision for a creator to put their face and name next to that company, or not. Their lack of response to a fairly large controversy makes that harder, where they could have simply taken an even former stance in creating a safe environment for creators and their fans and only associating the brand with creators that meet a clear and public standard.
