He might be the first one to ask? Unless my grasp of the English language is slipping, he asked politely without any expectations?

On topic: I've seen Patreon used by some of the more well-known YouTube science video creators (CGP Grey, Kurzgesagt, Numberphile come to mind) so it seems to be ok.

But seriously, do you honestly expect him to append his setup just because _aarti asked politely about his particular situation?

Seems like a bit much to ask of a total stranger and it only benefits one person. Everyone else can use PayPal just fine.

Also, asking for a favor implies an expectation. Prove me wrong.

Take it easy. Maybe he's never heard of Patreon - I hadn't. He never asked for a favor. Everything doesn't have to be a fight.

He explicitly, but politely, asked for a favor.

Also, who's fighting? I'm not. It's weird different people keep responding to this thread though.
