I support a strategy games podcast that has existed for a few hundred episodes and recently started to ask for money. I do it because it helps make the podcast sustainable (the show's host and editor are full-time freelancers.) However, I don't give enough to hit any tier because just as I don't like burdensome Kickstarter rewards, I don't like Patreon rewards which take extra time when I'm giving to compensate for the time burden.

I don't like that Patreon has "won" the recurring support market but I like the model very much.
