Patreon Changes...

It looks like Patreon is taking aim at it's foot...

I liked Patreon because you could support a lot of creators with small amounts, as apposed to a few with larger amounts. (Everyone can only spend the amount of disposable income they have, regardless of how they spread it around.) They're stuffing this up though.

Incidentally, I've had my doubts about Patreon ever since its creator made this post...

Possibly the most amateurish business announcement ever? Yes, quite possibly. And some of the comments there suggest others possibly agree with me.

Anyway, this looks like a good list of the alternatives...

For regular payments, I think https://liberapay.com/ seems the best approach, and I like that they fund themselves using Liberapay itself.

I can't find a similar site offering a pay-per-release option though. Any suggestions?
