Kitty Rambles: Patreon & Twitch "The Juggle"

These platforms have been around for a great number of years now and each have numerous of members, affiliates, partners, etc. I don't know the levels on Patreon members, but bare with me for a sec. :P

I know for a fact that I'm not the only one with this issue, so hopefully I can give everyone piece of mind when it comes to this.  For both Patreon and Twitch member to continue on with their talents to the full extent, they would need support from us, the viewers/fans of the artists and streamers. For Twitch, depending on the tier subscription, you get certain types of emotes, an escape to Sub-Mode chat if open chat gets too hectic and, for some streams, giveaway chances.  For Patreon, there are levels and rewards for certain amounts that you contribute.

The only logical problem that I have is that there are so many good artists and streamers that it might end up as a financial issue if someone supports too many of them. It's simple if you have only a small few that you like for a five dollar pledge/subscription, but support too many and it might make a good dent in your wallet when you least expect it.  So for me, it's not like I don't want to support anyone "because of paywall BS blah blah blah." There's just so many awesome artists and streamers that I might end up juggling over which one I want to support next.

*Hoping this journal made sense*

Hmm, this brings up an idea, not sure if ever would be used or if it would increase or decrease total supports for people..
I mean for like Patreon, if a supporter could "pool" support, like select a specific amount of money to upload to the site whenever and have it automatically pay in parts to as many people as they want without worrying about exceeding their budget (I mean like if one can only do 20/mo but wants to support 60 people, then each person/share gets about 33 cents, though some people can be given more shares).

I know nothing of Twitch though, aside from some game streaming site I can't even see usually if I remember.
I assume you talk about subscription.. gimmicks. Though I thought needing to pay is why people quit LiveStream.

Twitch is a free to watch streaming site. But you do have the option to support your watcher further by subscribing $5 a month.  That's what I've done for 2 (and soon to be 3) people thus far.
