I gave Pateron a try awhile back, unless you're in it to donate to your favorite artist it's not a very good business model, and because they take such a cut it's not even that good for donations either. It's a shame because on paper it sounds like it would be awesome, but what instead ends up happening is that people take content they would have posted for free and paywall it, only to post it a half year later anyway.
