…what’s hard to understand about people donating to those who make content they enjoy or tools they use? It’s not that complicated. Not every Youtuber is Mr. Beast.
This wasn’t a thing until like 2 years ago and I’ve no idea why it’s become a thing at all. I’ve never once had the desire to donate to some “creator” on the internet nor known anyone who has.
…Patreon has existed for 12 years. Websites have had “Buy me a coffee” buttons for even longer. You not noticing something doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
It stuck around in my head because begging was free, but when someone leaked the twitch earnings, it made me worried some people really were donating to those time wasting chancers on the internet. Turns out they do, which isn’t great. A fool and his money are soon parted ig.
