The dynamics of subscriber-based membership communities are very disorienting! An example from today:
If I invite Twitter to an event, a couple % of followers might engage. I’m running a new workshop and invited my Patreon members—20% RSVP’d! Totally wrecked my plans, naturally.

Yes, I guess that’s right—but it’s hard to internalize!
It’ll def make your patrons feel all fuzzy and your Twitter followers consider patronizing if the content and offerings differ tho
