To put this in perspective, if a quarter of my followers pledged $1/mo, I'd pretty much be able to stop working. This stuff is hugely meaningful!! If you follow a small artist and they're trying to get you to sub to a $1/mo P*treon, they likely need it to survive! That $1 helps! https://twitter.com/MidnightAthene/status/1314784606764359680

And the thing that REALLY helps, is how likely are you to miss that $1/mo? It depends on the circumstances for sure, but $12/year is a small change for one person, but if 100 or 1000 people are making that little effort, then it's $1200 or $12000/year for a person.

Since you aren't likely to miss it, you aren't likely to cancel either. That gives the creator the power to invest in themselves. Enact lasting change. That's what $1/mo can give someone.

If you're an artist who relies on p*atreon or k*fi to keep going, feel free to post a link!

I'm about to go to sleep but this thread is already doing numbers, so I'm gonna say it again: post those links!! Promote yourself!! Go go go

And if you wanna hear more from me, stick around! I do art, and I also have a podcast I'd love you to check out @StumbleQuest

As always with threads like this, people are bringing up that they follow multiple artists.

This tweet isn't to shame people, it's literally just pointing out that $1 helps. It's not saying "do it for everyone" it's saying "do it for a couple favs *if you can*"

Also, you'll notice I didn't post the link to my Kofi! Yes, times are tough, but I'm currently able to work as a tattooer, and fairly stable. I appreciate the support I get, but also consider donating to folks who are using Patreon/Kofi as their primary source of income!
