One day user-controlled data will be the norm, not the exception.
Users are starting to prioritize it, and developers are finding better ways of making it happen.

In some other words: As much as I would like to have #UserOwned alternative, I see there is a serious obstacle if some/most of the members cannot stand on their own.

I consider myself an adopter of this technology who likes to tinker. I have already submitted a pull request on Github so my profile is marked "contributor". On the other hand, I have sent some contributions to some members of the community doing useful things (at my whim).
Am I a donor? If yes, then I can only be a non-member user in creator owned one, so where that #UserOwned thing?
I think we are moving away from #UserOwned . (Some folk pointed out we should use word "member" instead of "user" and I like it a lot).
If so many people rely on #Patreon where should the influx of the external money come from? Won't the providers become real owners?
Seeing all the end-of-month #Patreon chatter, I'm wondering how close we are to a #UserOwned alternative?
The model is absolutely a key piece of the future of support for creative endeavors, but with $47.1MM in #Unicorn-hopeful VC to pay off, it's rate of #extraction can be expected to ramp up in coming years. I know #Gratipay seems like it has some of the pieces (but is still a ways off); anyone aware of other promising #platformcoop versions?
