Now you're suddenly trying super hard to shift the conversation into economy 101 when this whole thing was about using the same nick across multiple platforms, which for some reason you believe to be...wrong, or something. I simply pointed out why that's not the case, how plenty people are using the same nick across platforms, and how Patreon works despite what "everyone knows". And now you're upset or something..?
You're all over the place. You went from "Lmao dev doesn't know you", to "common sense to not use the same name on different platforms", to "Patreon's model is buying a product", and now "It's paying for a service".
Also, quick note; Paying for a service is not the same as buying a product, primarily due to fundamental differences in their nature, characteristics, and economic treatment. Not only are you cherrypicking my post - ignoring the important part, you're also going left and right whenever it seemingly fits your narrative. Do you feel qualified talking economics or telling me to "try a marketing course" (lol)?
Edit: We're both going way offtopic here. Talking about the dev is fine and all, but if you wanna have a discussion on what Patreon is or isn't, we may have to continue via DM's as I don't wanna clog this thread with it.
