I'd be interested to anyone's thoughts on Patreon, does anyone have any subscriptions currently - any recommendations?
The concept seems to make sense at the moment e.g if you have a favourite artist, you probably pay £20 or whatever to see them once a year at your local venue, but since that isn't happening at the moment, you might subscribe say £2 per month instead to see livestreamed performances and other content on Patreon. Obviously not the same as a live gig but if you get to see/hear them more often, maybe have a chance to ask them questions etc, it would be a very different experience but still enjoyable.

[mention]cams [/mention] uses it and might be able to comment.
I’d consider doing it but only if the production was decent. I don’t like Live stuff unless it is backed up by a proper mic recording. I’m also not going to give any money to anybody who just records on a mobile phone!
Hash maybe but if an artist is looking for money they need to consider at least a little quality and post production!
The folk on foot festival showed how to do it. Pre-record and publish to YouTube - you can publish at a ore-arranged time if you like!

I think personally I'd be less interested in how hifi the quality was, I'm more intrigued by the possibilities of interacting with an artist in new and different ways - the opportunity to see what happens "behind the scenes", approaches to practice, composition etc. My guess is any artist I might be interested in would have access to vaguely decent equipment anyway though.

I’m not bothered about hifi [mention]mikefloorstand [/mention] but rather a little bit of effort! Some people are doing great stuff but others are not so good - I just don’t go back again and if this is about developing an income (a good idea) artists are going to have to think about some level of quality!
