Kickstarter version of Patreon ?

ninju• 9 years ago

Or is it a Patreon version of Kickstarter

thekaleb• 9 years ago

No, it clearly states that it is by Kickstarter in the copy.

We charge 5%, in addition to any fees from our payments partners.
We will help creators securely transfer subscription and payments information to other subscription platforms. Creators will also be able to download and export their subscriber information and any content they have posted to their Drip page

Does it mean they are costlier than Patreon?

kevin_b_er• 9 years ago

Patreon originally had a 5% cut + the payment fee, before their new higher fee structure

Kinda weird that they have the exact same shade of blue and monospace font as https://www.blackbox.cool.

Anyway, it's probably good for everyone that someone's trying to compete with Patreon -- market forces and all that.

cosmojg• 9 years ago

Considering one of Blackbox's primary functions is Kickstarter fulfillment, maybe they're working together?

I get a totally blank white page, though the source is there. It's rare a page doesn't work at all from PrivacyBager/uBlock.

thisisit2• 9 years ago

Same here.

gtsteve• 9 years ago

It appears that Privacy Badger blocks kickstarter.com completely. I don't know why it has that default but you can just set it to only block cookies.

what makes this any different than patreon

AncoraImparo• 9 years ago

It doesn't have to be. Competition is competition.

neaden• 9 years ago

My twitter feed is full of content creators on Patreon who are aghast at the recent changes that penalize large numbers of small pledges, so if they can just be Patreon from a week ago it might be enough.

I have a Drip page for Radical Digital Painting here: https://d.rip/jeffreyheart89

To be honest the product and UX still has a long way to go but I enjoy Kickstarter's enthusiasm about it to say the least.

Seems like a really bad name to me. "Hi, I'm a Drip! Won't you support my work!"

I can't imagine doing that even at my drippiest 17 year old self. I wonder how big of an issue it will be for them. *

I imagine they were thinking DRIP as in stock fund Dividend ReInvestment Program, but that doesn't really apply here. I could toss out a couple of other hypotheses, but, regardless of their reasoning, I just think the name is likely to be a liability.

* Watch me change my mind in a few months, sign up for the service and have this comment come back to bite me. ;)

I assumed it was just a hip domain for drip.com

thiscatis• 9 years ago

The picture they have selected wants to make me shut my laptop and just give up.

Danihan• 9 years ago

Look, we're all so uniquely garish in the exact same way!

georgeecollins• 9 years ago

Like is this a service for low key creators too, or only very flamboyant ones?

joelrunyon2• 9 years ago

Weird choice of name since there's an email service w/ the exact same name - https://www.drip.com/

sbennettmcleish• 9 years ago

"weird" wouldn't be my first choice of word, desperate for a "hip", short domain and willing to take any name maybe.

joelrunyon2• 9 years ago

How is there not an open source or at least a paid WP version of this. Seems like it's a decent plugin you could run on your own site + make a good lifestyle business out of (while saving people tons of money by letting them process their own transactions).
