Pros

• Patreon has a quickly growing community so TOY is more than likely going to be discovered by more and more people, therefore finding more fans and helping the comic along the way

• It’s away for artists to actually get paid and feel appreciated for what they do and produce to make fans happy

Cons

• Discoverability is a big thing I think because patreon although now improved does not work well with tags you could mention anything that TOY involves such as LGBT to romance and still might find it difficult to find if you weren’t religiously searching

Ease of access of platforms – Patreon is accessible via accessing the internet so you can find it on a normal webpage, however there is also a patreon app for easier access on phones and tablet there is also a link on the official website for the comic.

Transferability to others
