One thing that I feel is missing since I joined Patreon is a way to connect with each other the way users do on an internet forum or in social media. If Patreon had forums, it might make it easier to gain patrons based on quality of content, sincerity, and devotion to the community rather than on existing resources, advertising power and reckless spamming. Even more importantly it would foster a real sense of community which is lacking due to the current layout of the site.
Since a few hours ago when I discovered Steemit, I realized that the two could be used together to create a stronger sense of community between all of us who want to live life on our own terms as well as the wonderful people who want to make that possible for others. It would be easier to collaborate, easier to generate interest in your own creations, and easier to bring more people into the world of crowdfunding and alternative payment systems, encourage new people to think about what they might be able to offer and who they are supporting rather than only thinking about what they can get.
I'm still not sure the best way of going about using the two sites together to make self-sustainability and abundance and a strong community a smooth and natural process, but we can discuss that in other threads once we all know each other.
So this thread is for Patreon users to introduce themselves and their pages and for everyone else to check out what we have to offer.
What do you do and why are you passionate about it? :-D
