On top of their strict purity of content policies, Patreon also takes up to 15%+ of the profits depending on the developer page you make there. Not only that, they are NOT a discovery platform. So  the only way people can find you there is if you promote your product elsewhere ( which is difficult to do on most sites due to site policies thanks to the modern age if you're not already selling it there...), share the link personally or people already know you and search for you manually. Even then they might not be able to find you because Patreons auto-suggest search bar is garbage. Google only works to find you there after your page has been up for a while. Potential new supporters may never find you there simply because they don't have a way of randomly coming across you unless your product is already in a place where they can. Such as here.
Been there, done that. Never again unless certain conditions are met. 

Patreons a great place for a tip jar for already "well known" content creators though. Trash for anything else as far as I'm concerned. Better off making a living elsewhere if you're not popular or already well known. but that's just my personal opinion on that site with a bad experience. If you are really curious about Patreon you can find a pricing link at the bottom of their page and how it works if you haven't seen it already. Let me know if you want the link. I'm not so prejudice against them yet that I wouldn't share their information if asked for it. But I'm not going to butter it up either. I'm not saying don't use it. All I'm saying is wait until you need a tip jar for all your supporters & followers. That's what Zone-Tan does...
