What do you like best about Patreon?

I really enjoyed being able to find a system that actually lowed me to follow my dreams. This system was pretty amazing when it allowed me to set up levels of patrons much like a Kickstarter campaign. I able to fund other patreon people as well as being able to fund myself. Its been absolutely amazing to have this type of too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

I dislike that people like Jordan Peterson is out there getting de platformed. As well as other Patreon people. Its not cool. Free speech should be shared across all platforms and it should not be regulated against unless they are calling for violence. This is unacceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What do you like best about Patreon?

Simple interface, very easy to begin supporting, ability to send unique content to supporters(patrons) which can be even a podcast stream. The commission is very small and fair as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Patreon?

It is not yet so popular, so not all people familiar with words like "support us on Patreon" which I think decreases the conversion and takes a couple tries to convert some people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a great format to distribute/share your creations while building a dedicated following and earning some money with it.

It is slow to start. It takes a lot of work on the creator side before you start seeing results and you do have to experiment and advertise to get your followers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
