I like Patreon for a similar reason, because it's behind the scenes. However, I've never really been able to keep my attention there enough as an artist. Perhaps it's just people have a limit on the number of platforms they manage. I think Steem and similar platforms are far better for doing projects. And I like the idea of showing others the ups and downs, and inspiring them to try stuff themselves (adapt ideas, etc.) Thanks for being a part of everything.
