@7e00ff73 that's not really a difficult task? even free (open) software can do that (or even focuses on that, like ghost), you're really overpaying on a middle-man with patreon? 

 @Cat poni, Whorseman of Apocalypse @7e00ff73 poni you've seen open source software and you would wish this kind of horror on someone? 

 @Cat poni, Whorseman of Apocalypse wouldn't that require skill and effort? 

 @7e00ff73 so does having something to offer for the subscription...

(unless you're a poltiical podcaster) 

 @Cat poni, Whorseman of Apocalypse yeah but like, not everyone with the skills to make art, youtube videos, etc. also has the time and skills to self-host a webapp 

 @7e00ff73 you'd think that for example the fancy dot art mastodons would be happy to integrate features like that 

 @Cat poni, Whorseman of Apocalypse dot art? I thought they were too busy blocking other instances 

 @7e00ff73 of course

i mean, i just feel patreon is very expensive for what it is
