mmn I've not used Patron, but an observation is that it only works well if you are "internet famous" and the fediverse architecture doesn't lend itself well to having millions of active followers. What I see in the fediverse is folks appealing for money among affinity groups who are just as poor as they are, which doesn't really work. A better model might be some sort of income sharing agreement system, comparable to the mutual societies which existed before unions became legal.
