“Hey guys come catch all my new videos on my own website”
Put the old stuff on YouTube, FB, insta, tiktok, and encourage traffic to your site.
Profit.
You trying to ask creators to create stuff? Crazy talk. That’s so 2006.
And this is why platforms are nice yet cutting the middle man is important. There was a time before walled gardens.
You kinda need a payment processor unless you want people to start mailing cash in the post.
Direct bank transfers. Those are a thing.
tl;dw? Watched the first several minutes but still not even sure what it’s about.
they’re removing creators’ ability to charge per creation and forcing them to charge only via monthly subscription.
It’s an absolutely dick move by Patreon.
I guess Patreon figure it will make them as a platform more money, because people tend to forget about subscriptions and just let them keep going.
But it’s awful for creators who release less frequently, because people will start to feel cheated when months go by and they don’t get anything. And I’m sure the creators won’t enjoy that pressure either.
It’s like Patreon are cracking the whip, telling creators “Work faster, you have to justify your monthly subscription now!”
Assholes.
Wow, that’s sure gonna fuck a lot of creator that put out content once every few months.
Interesting, I wonder why they would do that…
More stable revenue for the shareholders maybe
I wondered too. It was explained here: https://lemmy.world/post/28040267
They don’t really seem to know for sure either. I’d heard about the Apple issue a long time ago so it’s curious that’s it’s being brought up now.
Obligatory Fuck Apple.
True. I should have said that there was enough information there to satisfy my interest in the matter. Which was small.
it must be really hard to google “patreon alternative”
Onlyfans!
Indeed. She doesn’t talk about alternatives in this video, she hasn’t made other videos talking about alternatives, hasn’t setup her own website etc…
I’m not sure how she could pay her bills of she didn’t have advice from randos on the internet…
I mean you could add this suggestion under that video, so that she sees it right?
