What's the difference between offering a Patreon vs. asking for donations occasionally?There is a lot I could say to this, but I will condense where I can. I think it is tacky for him to consistently ask for donations from his reader base to help him get out of every hole he falls into. If this was a one time thing, sure, I’d absolutely consider helping him. The problem is that this is a consistent thing. I totally understand that he has had a rough couple of years, but he has also never really done a whole lot to continue to build his brand and maybe earn more money from his blogging. He has a fan base, so why not offer patreon style subscription packages to get a little bit more income every month?
Ultimately, I get where you’re coming from. He has been an integral part of the Detroit Red Wings family and I’ve been reading his content personally for probably a decade or more. I just wish he didn’t ask for donations so often.
Either way, the guy doesn't deserve the hate he gets.
