As
a follow-up to the above paragraph, I’ve had some people who aren’t really into
gaming ask me about the whole Patreon phenomenon. Some had never heard of it. It's Patreon, as in Patron of the
Arts. It seems like something new since so many YouTubers have Patreon
accounts, but the concept actually dates back centuries. Catherine the Great
was a patron of the arts, for example. Kings, queens, and other people of means
would give money to artists, writers, musicians, and the like to support them
in their work. Sometimes they would be rewarded with special perks, such as
“free” commissions and private performances.
There’s
been a bit of backlash against Patreon since some people have abused the program,
but there are some excellent Patreon pages where you get some really cool perks
for your contributions. The concept of the Patron has come back in a big way in
part because it is harder these days to make money creating videos, books,
albums, etc. than it was just a few short years ago. There are many reasons for
this, including a very crowded field of content creators. Patreon can be a
crucial way for the creator to keep it at. With my Patreon account, I will
endeavor to make it worthwhile for anyone who contributes with all kinds of
perks, including behind-the-scenes stuff, exclusive videos and articles, a look
at archival material (including unpublished work), and more.
Thanks for your support!
