Hmm, but then how do some YouTubers make thousands per month that way?
AFAICT, that person is running a SaaS business, hosting third-party software (Minecraft) for $10/month, at basically zero cost.

Well, that's one of the "rewards". I'm sure they'd get a lot of support without that particular reward.
-
But it's certainly hard for open-source projects to offer low-cost, high-value incentives when they give the main product away.

(Unless, of course, they turn it into a company with a product.)

I don't have time to go digging, but what are typical Patreon "rewards" for software projects?
-
Free subscriptions/software, t-shirts, thank you/recognition page. meet up with the developers for a beer and etc.
-
Yep, basically everything but actually making the software better on a better schedule.

:-( Any of them have bounties like "$100 gets you a fix for one of the bugs tagged as medium-difficulty"?
-
I have seen that once or twice. But $100 doesn't cover the (opportunity) cost of fixing a medium-difficulty bug.
