If I got a Patreon....

If I got a Patreon account, would you subscribe?
Simple yes or no answer is all I need, but if you want to provide a reason it would help me out.
Don't be afraid to reply with a 'no', it is really difficult to offend me/hurt my feelings. :)
If you vote yes, what sorts of special content or bonuses could I provide to make it worthwhile? Ive seen some artists give their subscribers first dibs on commission slots, free art, and raffle entries. Right now, Ive only come up with exclusive content as a bonus for anyone who subscribes. Another idea was to regularly feature my top donators in my art; so if I need someone to fill a pred or prey slot, I could select from other people's characters. Im not sure how well this last one would work, considering I have been unable to make half of the characters that people send to me.
If you answered no, then is there some special bonus I could have that might change your mine? Course, if you're broke like me, then there is obviously nothing I can do. Or if you hate my guts for even considering charging money for art, well I cant help that either. But if you have an idea as well, feel free to share it.
As a side note: Ive said it before, and Ill say it again; I promise I wont make everything pay-to-view. I will still post art at FA and DA like normal.

A paypal donate button would work for the short term, but only the short term. You donate once and your done, you've done your part. It wouldn't give a constant support.

Enter your name, donation amount, and number of times donated in the comment section.

There is nothing wrong with a donate button, but the amount of work that would have to happen behind it does not justify its use for this purpose.
