WHAT IS PATREON?

In their words:

Founded in May 2013 and based in San Francisco, California, Patreon was created to enable fans to support and engage with the artists and creators they love. Empowering a new generation of creators, Patreon is bringing patronage back to the 21st century.
Patreon enables fans/patrons to give ongoing support to their favorite creators. If you are a writer, author or other creative person, Patreon could be the most important piece of your social media network.

As a video blogger I know how lonely and challenging it can be for many of us ‘creative sorts.’ Could you not benefit from one or more of these:

1) Additional Support, both financial & otherwise.

2) Help in focusing your writing or other creative goal.

3) Support in being more accountable for what you’re creating.

4) Funds For better equipment 

WHY PATREON INSTEAD OF PAYPAL?

Patreon’s Patron Manager provides a nice and reliable interface that allows me to manage, track, and communicate with our supporters. I could probably build something similar, but the amount of time I’d have to invest (programming and supporting) is too significant. My time is better spent on the magazine.
Yes, PayPal can collect recurring payments on set intervals. If you miss a month, PayPal still charges them. Not so with Patreon. This isn’t much of an issue for us, but I know it does impact others I’ve spoken to.
Not everyone likes PayPal. There are people out there that are violently opposed to using their services in any way. Patreon supports credit cards and PayPal.
You can do both. We still take one-time donations via PayPal. Having choices is good.
