The system for creative people is broken
It puts algorithms over ideas. Quantity over quality. What’s easy to sell over what’s good. Money, brands, and just about everything else over the people who actually create.
People say that’s just the way it is. We say, fuck that. Let’s put creativity over everything.
“I like the idea of Patreon because it's really simple and it's about bringing things back to artists making art.”
What is Patreon?
Patreon helps you build direct relationships with your most engaged fans. You offer them benefits like exclusive content, community, or insight into your creative process in exchange for a monthly subscription.
Meaningful connections
Connect with your audience directly in an ad-free and troll-free environment. Enjoy healthier, kinder, more meaningful interactions.
Creative control
Create what you want and what your audience loves. You don’t have to conform to popular taste or the constraints of ad-based monetization models.
Reliable income
Generate predictable income from your work through members who pay you a monthly subscription.
