I'm having a bit of an issue already with patreon and it was only a few hours in!
Due to my status as a US citizen but not being a resident they're is a whole issue regarding the fact that I haven't stepped in US soil for nearly a decade and they still want me to pay US taxes....but I don't live there nor have I paid US taxes now in nearly a decade.
Until I sort this out, it may be an idea to hold off on becoming a patron because, and I mean this very catty (hurr) but their customer service sucks. I keep getting copy and paste shit from them and I'm like BRUH I'm not a UK citizen Iam a permanent resident and then I get copy and pasted shit for US citizen and how to fill out for my state and I'm like BRUH NO
So until this gets sorted maybe I'll take down the links until I've got it sorted out

there's one alternative that you may not like its called Cash app or app cash my gf is using it and she says it does take fees at all
I haven't heard of cash app but I will be looking into it
My point is SubscribeStar is a viable alternative in that it is pushed as a truly non-biased platform. I use it to support content creators there both because I support them AND on principle regarding Patreon’s aforementioned bias.
Now the only potential downside is SS isn’t as mainstream as P, but they’re gaining fast in popularity for the reasons I mentioned. Any followers of yours will more likely end up having to create new accounts there in order to support you. In the long term though, and my honest opinion, there’s longer term sustainability with SS. It’s what I use and...sorry if this entire comment sounded like a big advertisement. ^^;
