Sorry if this has already been posted and I missed it, but:
Has anyone used Patreon for skate purposes?
If anyone is unfamiliar, Patreon is a platform for supporting people doing creative things like artists or podcasters - content creators. Skateboarding, whether on video or in magazines, is content creation.
I was thinking about this idea after hearing Gershon Mosley on the Nine Club when they were asking him to film a part. Would people support a skateboarder to put out footage? I realize that's what conventional sponsors essentially do but I'm saying, for example, would you chip in to help Johnny Layton pay a filmer and put out a part?
Obviously this could be abused but it does feel categorically different from the much hated Gofundme.
Thoughts?
