Alx 🐈<p>Good morning <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> and welcome to Monday. <br>As I've been watching the unfolding drama over <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/Breadutube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Breadutube</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/Contrapoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Contrapoints</span></a> (non)statement about Palestine and Gaza, there's been many questions coming to mind on the entire phenomenon of 'content creation'. I'm particular intrigued by the Patreon model, about which I've got mixed feelings but can't truly articulate them. Does anyone know about study/research on 'Patreon economies' and can point them to me?<br>Thank you!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediTips</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/Patreon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Patreon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/Economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Economy</span></a></p>
