I've never used patreon. How does it work? If you do the $20 a month, do you only receive all benefits if you subscribe for the whole year? Or do you just have to be subscribed when the rewards are arbitrarily released at the discretion of the artist?
Man. Wish I could afford to do this. Maybe I can if I get in a better place financially soon. Having said that, thrilled he is doing this and hope it works out well for them!
I’m intrigued by the monthly surprise for the second tier, but will probably just go with the first one. $180 for the whole year with the second one.
Yeah, these are some steep subscription levels. The podcast is the most intriguing thing about the second tier to me, and I’m bummed to miss out on it, but I don’t think I can justify $15/month right now. I’ll stick with the first level.
Whatever anyone is comfortable with is good. Something i will say in dealing with this stuff before with Andy, the last thing he wants to do is 'rip' anyone off. He knows he has an audience, many of which will probably purchase anything they put out there, but he doesn't want to abuse that and he thinks about the line between running a good AND moral business and greed, constantly. I cannot underline this enough, these are good people. They need us now more than they ever have. Whatever you feel comfortable with, is good. It's going to be strange for awhile, and if we CAN support these artists during it, we should. The majority of the artists we probably like are vastly closer to OUR lives than Jon Bon Jovi's. I'm motivated to be generous if I can, for as long as I can in this time. I just wrote all that for no reason. But, this is COOL.
I’m just going to wait until it’s all released. Or maybe I’ll subscribe to the $5 come July when i get my new job
