Do Pros/Crews have Patreon?

Feel like this could be a sick way to fund people content and/or creative works that seems heavy in use by podcasters as a way to supplement/replace ads. I'm not sure if it exists but I'd for sure support. Just curious.

Feel like the best way is to release physical content like DVDs, posters, merch etc. Patreon is dope, but has its pros and cons. From a subscribers perspective it's nice to get regular content but if there's not enough or it's not regular enough then people are gonna cancel their subscriptions. So there's more pressure to keep the content flowing which can be stressful and IMO is not conducive to putting out quality stuff. Better to release stuff when it's ready and worth dropping rather than drop something on a strict schedule .

For DVDs, even if u assume enough people are gonna buy, you basically need to have the dvds finished and ideally shipped out before the video releases online. So if your video is dropping online for free in november you'd need to be done the editing way in advance of that.

A few years ago Maximilian smith did a patreon or something like it, I think the idea was to have a subscription based edit series.
Anyway, people on here of course lost their shit in outrage about how it was a terrible idea and how could he have the audacity to ask for money, etc.

Brett Rheeder developed a pretty cool athlete driven site for pros to share experience, teach classes, or host training sessions. Already seems somewhat promising in the mtb scene. Could definitely be viable in the ski scene. Imagine being able to book a coaching session with a pro for a day.

Came here to say this, everyone on here absolutely ripped b Mack to shreds for starting a patreon, turns out he was just way too far ahead of the game and nobody understood it, as usual. I was one of only 2 subscribers, I paid b Mack 1 dollar a month for a hilariously long period of time hahahaha

Came here to say that. Super neat tool and something that hasn’t really existed before.
