Crowdfunding: Connecting Creators and Patrons

I think this post may not have attracted many comments precisely because it is a post written from one patron's perspective. It does a great job of expressing the benefits that the_vulture has experienced as a patron, but what else is there to say? I suppose I could comment about how my own experiences have been similar or different, but without being specifically invited to respond, I don't necessarily feel comfortable discussing or commenting on a post about someone else's experiences (perhaps that's just my personal quirk, but maybe others feel the same).

Perhaps you've seen more comments on my later post because that was written specifically with the intention of starting a discussion, and clearly labeled and tagged as such, with questions for people to respond to.
