Best way to support

I know this has a bad review but I wanna give you my experience and my one as a payer is this. I listen to a podcast thotstv it's about childrens media I've been a patriot for a few years now I've hurd new things unseen stuff and stuff you cant get on other podcast stuff. Recently there soundboard broke but because of the money from patron they got it replaced before long. So if you think it's a bad service I say give it a try you might have a different experience.

Pleased so far

I was surprised by the bad reviews on a similar site and wanted to compare with Patreon. Now I'm just as surprised by the bad reviews on Patreon, which I've only had good experiences with for the time being - now for a couple of years.

Superb platform

Hello, the platform is superb. I just subscribed to a fantastic blonde girl: Chloe_mb . It's way better than OF, as there is a lot of interaction with our star <3

we work with Patreon since 2014

honestly, I don't understand why all these negative reviews, our magazine has been funded through Patreon since 2014 and we have never had a single problem; We highly recommend this site as a platform for all creators to create recurring content :)

"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.
