Quite a few people in game criticism, curation and game creation are taking to Patreon to fund their work. Think of it as Kickstarter for the individual producing regular content rather than a specific project. There are many people who are passionately creating a lot of content but spend their own time and money on the projects without getting paid for all their work. But bills, food, rent etc all have to be paid somehow. This is where Patreon comes in, it provides a platform and opportunity for individuals to support their favorite content creators.
