I haven't been here for a while, but I've been having a bit of a grunka and I enjoyed watching the absurd thrify shades thing unfold...
In relation to that, I've been taking a peek at
her Patreon:
*She has six tiers of Patreon supporters, which must be difficult to coordinate, and hardly seems worth the admin with a few hundred supporters. One wonders why someone who struggles with ADHD would commit to a complicated tier system when they struggle with basic legal obligations like tax returns.
*The $5 a month tier promises "Exclusive Content, Discounts, Good Feels"
sick
, so its main reward/benefit, which is also provided at all the other tiers, is patron-only posts: " This tier unlocks all of the Patron-only posts". But what exclusive content? I can click on the posts and see previews of all the posts for Patreon subscribers, although I can't see the full posts. I can't be sure, but all recent ones appear to be admin type posts. It looks like there's not been any genuinely exclusive content since mid August. Am I missing anything, any Patreon people? I can't seem to do screenshots, but if you go to
https://www.patreon.com/jackmonroe and scroll down you'll see the post previews.
*Also, Thrifty shades of beige is now $13 a month - about a tenner!
