[Xmca-l] Just learned about Patreon

[Annalisa Aguilar]

Hello Xmcars,


Was reading the Guardian here:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/14/patreon-rise-jordan-peterson-online-membership

and thought this might be of interest to scholars today and future.


See:

https://www.patreon.com/search?q=academic%20research


Not that I want to toot his horn but according to the Guardian Jordan Peterson makes $80K from this platform and is a way for his supporters to fund him.


Might be a way to fund Marxists.org? labor studies? academic publishing?


Kind regards,


Annalisa
