Okay, but I don't want to watch businesspeople, I want to watch what this person is making/doing/writing/etc! That's the whole point!

Patreon means I can just give them dollars for doing a good job, and they don't have to go get an associates degree in marketing to realize that sponsorships are lowballing them entire magnitudes.

I consider this infinitely better to a creator selling my attention, for pennies on the dollar compared to what a company would spend for equivalent advertising from a less exploitable cadre, to companies that are morally grey at BEST, often false advertising or literal scams like Established Titles in the norm.

You're right! Creators often get short changed from deals like this. All I am saying is that my background has made this career decision for me easy to transition into while making sponsors sustainable.

I know lots of creators who get completely screwed on this front. I am sure the same could happen on Patreon.
