“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.
These platforms have incentives to keep you on the platform. So their recommendation algos will purposefully down rank stuff that tries to convert to elsewhere.
Depends on what you do I guess, I’ll admit I didn’t feel like watching the video. There’s always Kickstarter, or Etsy, or eBay? Or GoFundMe if you want to just outright beg for money.
After watching the video, fuck Apple for taking an exhorbitant 30% cut, and fuck Patreon for demanding that creators use the Apple in-app purchase system. This is shown at 7:10 if you want to skip past a lot of her fluff.
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.
I guess I just be weird because an ongoing monthly subscription to a creator is never something I’m willing to consider, though I have made many one-time contributions.
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.
