Alternatives to Patreon - Maybe for Adult games
- Thread starter Ryahn
- Start date
I am currently looking at opening a Patreon alternative. The upside is I will allow Taboo subjects as long as there "Fictional" in nature and characters are all 18+. Working out the logistics and other things like payment processors and hosting. Downside won't be ready until at least February. But I do have a solution in the works

Kickstarter just announced they will launch a Patreon like platform called Drip.
It is currently in an ''Invite Only'' mode but they are planning to open to public early 2018.
Here's their current Terms & Conditions :
There is no limitation whatsoever on adult content, if people have the patience to wait until early 2018, it might be worth the shot to switch to Drip.

This is for their kickstater platform, there is no sayin about pornographic material for Drip. Since the adult content is quite a huge thing on Patreon I doubt they will say no to it.
I have sent them as message to learn about their policy on adult content, I will share it with y'all when they respond.
It's gonna be the same as Drip is owned by Kickstarter. Why would thay change there prohibitive items when the two platforms are linked. There Payment provider will not allow adult content just like most

There's adult games who used kickstarter, so we fall back to the main question as usual, what do they see as "pornographic" ? And like Amazon is one of the two payment providers they use, we know that this shouldn't be such a problem. Well, unless their rules are more strict about what you can sell than what they can sell.
Stripe who is a big payment clearing house does not allow adult content Visa and MasterCard don't technically allow it either

Hopefully a good alternative shows up. By the looks at some new ways of suspensions, they are really cracking down. I wouldnt be surprised, if they are trying to push adult content completely off the platform.
Kickstarter uses Stripe. A lot of companies that used Braintree have moved to Stripe. That's why eBay spun Paypal off into its own company. There losing money.
Braintree is owned by Paypal

here some I find that could be interesting:

Celery uses Stripe so that would not work and the other platform has obscene content banned in there TOS. I've found a payment platform that will work.

I have a radical idea. Why not have a platform where patrons pay exclusively in bitoin (or some other cryptocurrency) ? That way you don't have to worry about the payment processor or credit card companies suddenly suddenly blacklisting your site for its content. (this is why Brazzers discontinued their 'Pornstar Punishment' series)
Here is another crowdfunding site that looks similar to Patreon and Hatreon. There already seem to be Youtube personalities using the site.
I couldn't find any TOS so no idea if pornography is ok but they make Free Speech front and center.

I don't understand the Hatreon hate.
I mean, the dude pretty much is all about freedom of speech (and thus of content) as a true libertarian, so it's the ideal platform if you want to create legal work without the risk of a morality police saying what's ok and what's not.
And pretty much anything 2d would be OK as there no real person involved.
Sure, you have white supremacists there, but you don't have to support them. They just happen to use the same platform as you, but they probably also use the same OS, and same applications or phones. Who cares?
What's important is to be free to make content without waiting for the next thing to be banned because the new boss has a puritan epiphany. I thought for a second that patreon would be the platform allowing the western porn industry to have the same variety as its Japanese counterpart, but it seems they've gone stupid after their success.
