Pretty good for creators!
What do you like best?
The company idea as a whole isnt being done a lot elsewhere! its a great way for fans to be able to support the creators they love, and it is very customizable
What do you dislike?
I really wish the website was searchable or would recommend new artists to support, so you can be found organically. They are also changing the website TOO MUCH, especially the landing pages of the creators. patreon- PLEASE STOP DOING THIS !! it now asks for money upfront instead of letting you read the creators story first, which makes it look greedy and awful.. They just keep making changes and having issues, when it really was good before and just needed to be improved upon (like the pledges not going through and other issues that really get in the way of the entire function of the website! )
Recommendations to others considering the product:
just do it! provide good incentives and promote it like hell. If you are an artist looking to use patreon to make more of an income from your artwork check out the show one fantastic week on youtube, or their website, they are super helpful!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
giving people who want to support artists a way to do so, and obviously making an income as an artist
