Patreon is an online platform that allows content creators to earn money by periodically receiving donations from their fans (who are defined, to be exact, patron , an English word that means “benefactors”). Of course, this site is not only useful for creators, but also represents an innovative and interesting source of entertainment for users, who can take advantage, for a subscription, of unpublished content, generally impossible to find on other platforms.
