HN is full of people endlessly harping about the shitty quality of free, ad supported SEO-rigged mill content that sucks, but then a site that allows often hard working creators to ask for very modest donations so that you can view their material is labeled as &amp;quot;exclusive&amp;quot; and implicitly elitist. The people who try to make some money on Patreon don&amp;#x27;t owe any special favors to children without credit cards or to people in other countries without applicable payment methods at their disposal. They owe themselves a living, and their sponsors a decent presentation, nothing more. There are still plenty of free alternatives out there, instead of harping about one person hoping to earn some money for all the work they put into their videos&amp;#x2F;creativity.</text><parent_chain><item><author>dghughes</author><text>Patreon has gone from helpful support by a few to an exclusive club.</text></item><item><author>jaggederest</author><text>All of his videos are behind a Patreon paywall these days, as far as I can tell.

What makes it exclusive is the intellectual alignment required to unlock the value of the information.  Not everyone has that.  If you have it, consider joining the club while you are still alive so you can enjoy the benefits of membership and fraternity with people like you.  After that brief period expires, the club will be truly exclusive for a long time.</text><parent_chain><item><author>dghughes</author><text>Patreon has gone from helpful support by a few to an exclusive club.</text></item><item><author>jaggederest</author><text>All of his videos are behind a Patreon paywall these days, as far as I can tell.
