View show details

Millions of views. A much smaller bank balance. Coco and Jonny follow the problem that led musician Jack Conte to cofound Patreon, then ask what being watched actually means when you're trying to keep making things.
A story about attention, the people who come back, and a hypothetical frog whose business plan gets slightly out of hand. Historical creator story; no new Patreon launch is being announced.
Read the companion Creator CTRL newsletter for the sources and a clearer look at reach, repeat interest and sustainable support:
