Look I'm so fucking anti capitalist. Nothing should cost money. Nothing.
But it does, and artists do deserve to be paid for their shit.
So regarding the patreon,
If you don't like it, don't pay for it. ✓
If you want to support but can't afford it, that sucks!
Let's talk about it.
I think we should, as a community, coordinate a scholarship program for ppl who can't afford it (gifting memberships from ppl who can afford, I'm sure ppl will PW share and such as well) or suggest a similar system to DnP and their team
(Also. I'm certain they know ppl will share patreon content on Tumblr freely and I would bet they don't give a fuck)
This is genuinely such a lovely idea, like how on twitch you can gift subscriptions and it randomly pulls from chat, we could do something similar with posting a google drive so people can submit info or smth and get entered into a monthly drawing for different levels
It could be the cutest way for phannies to give back to the community!
Personally I know that there are people out there with kind hearts who would gladly help support other phans because it was the only way my broke college ass was able to see their tour. One fellow phannie gave me money for the tickets, and I’d love to see that joy and kindness spread all over the phandom.
