Having tried out SubscribeStar for a couple of months now, there are some pretty hindering guidelines for creators that, in hindsight, I should have been aware of.
Notably:
-- You need at least 5 active subscribers to payout.
-- You need to earn a minimum of $150.
-- The 'goals' in SubscribeStar are based on total earnings as opposed to earnings made each month.
These are the two big outliers that, to me, make it a difficult platform to use. In addition to that, it doesn't charge at the same monthly cycle as Patreon which can be a hassle for pledgers as well. I feel like it has it's benefits and it's UI is very streamlined, but I don't know if that outweighs the hassle.
On the other side of things, Patreon is a lot more responsive when it comes to disallowed content. If someone even mentioned the word 'feral' or 'cub' on patreon then it would likely be flagged and removed. Granted, the MAJORITY of the reports to big patreons like Kuroo and other places are usually done by users, so whether it'd be quickly cracked down upon if I was flippant with the content on my patreon remains to be seen.
From the perspective of those who have used Patreon and SubscribeStar before, how do you feel about it?
If push comes to shove I can and possibly might close my subscribestar at a reasonable time and move to patreon instead, which I'm aware is a hassle for people already pledging, so I want it to be as streamlined as possible.
