On: Ask HN: I have a job; should I still go on Patreon for free open-source stuff?

Sure, why not?

I'm a patron of a number of people who have full-time jobs and do what I know them for on the side.

Another option is librepay too. Check the recent Patreon thread for alternatives and comments.

Why do you think you can't or shouldn't?

[chinchang → james-skemp]

I ask this because generally people going on Patreon for open-source reason that they have been doing open-source for free and sustaining out of their last job savings. And now they won't be able to go much far on those savings, hence Patreon.
