So if you're, let's say, a Twitch streamer with 5,000 subs but 20,000 Discord members, I could see a strong use case for Hyper, because there's such minimal friction for both customers (Patreon rewards are often disconnected from other community channels like Discord) and sellers (subscriptions can be configured to change roles, allowing access to permissions, channels, etc).
Hyper: $300mo flat / 2000 users @ $5mo = 3% Patreon (lowest tier): 2000 users @ $5mo * .079 = $790
Hyper: $300mo flat / 5000 users @ $5mo = 1.2% Patreon (lowest tier): 5000 users @ $5mo * .079 = $1975
Looks viable to me!
I also know a professional* dungeon master who uses Discord to keep customers organized. I'm sure he could accomplish this coordination with e-mail and a spreadsheet, but Discord seems to cultivate community as a side-benefit.
*No, this isn't his fulltime job, but it seems to justify the amount of time/brainpower spent on Game Design/RP Writing efforts. And, yet again, charging folks a bit of money for membership puts them on their best behavior.
Probably make some good money though...
What am I missing ?
Needless to say if you’re making $6k+ per month it’s worth paying for Scale, but many users also pay for the advanced features even at $1-2k of MRR.
Haven't tried Hyper, but the nft gated discords I use are much nicer places to hang out and chat and make things together. In the past year ive gone from using discord maybe once a month to it being my main internet social-space. Even better is that most of the memberships feed back into the group accounts.
I'm curious why you have such a strong reaction against this though, I much prefer it to adverts.
