    Ko-fi is a much better option for creators. Don’t let Patreon fleece you.

    If they wanted to pretend it’s about adding value then having a percentage pricing doesn’t exactly support that. If they were actually adding value, then people would be willing to spend more and artists could charge more and the existing percentages would mean more income. Increasing percentages means the are providing less value and need to increase their cut of that decreased revenue to continue to increase profit margins.
