Bootstrapping 10er, a Patreon-similar service for Danish creators

That's an interesting idea. I watch videos, and I don't mind videos that promote their Patreon page and/or other member exclusive benefits. They are free to make videos how ever they like, but I wonder is promoting member exclusive content actually undermines their success.

For example, in this SciShow video => https://youtu.be/fsS6d4byK4A?t=143

- make free content, get free viewers

- promote Patreon to viewers, get patrons

- promote premium content to free viewers, alienate free viewers

- lose free viewers, shrink pool of potential patrons

I guess some pitches are more invasive than others.

Here's a counter example: https://m.youtube.com/user/Dogen

He does what could be described as stand up comedy around the japanese language.

And his patreon has comprehensive japanese pronunciation and intonation lessons. https://www.patreon.com/dogen

They're different but related things with different but overlapping audience.
