News Regarding the Donations and Memberships Platform
So, long story short, I'm thinking about trying out Gank (My profile being made already to test out how the UI and stuff is like.)
For the long story: I got approached about this website and after checking it out, I can see how there's potential.
Payment Method - Ko-fi is great, I can't deny that. But it mainly uses Paypal; which is an issue to not just me, someone who lives in a third-world country, but also any SEA or non-US supporters here because Paypal takes a fat chunk of fees (I am still quite salty over this). With Gank, from what I saw, I can at least access quite a bit more and supporters get to use other ways to pay, like Grabpay, Touch N Go, GCash, etc.
Gankgold - For those who have used something like Webtoons, where you spend 5 coins to access the next chapter before its public release, it's kinda the same system. For those who don't know, you can top up on gankgold to spend on supporting your content creators. (20 coins = RM12.10)
The platform has a lot of streamers, cosplayers and the like, majority being from SEA countries.
So I'm wondering what is everyone's opinion in using Gank, if anyone has tried it. I want to allow more accessibility for those in SEA who can't afford using Paypal (Gank still uses Paypal for US-citizens or other countries) but some comments about Gank would be of help.
Thank you for participating my little tedtalk.
