If you haven&rsquo;t heard of it yet, patreon is a service that allows content creators, artists, and musicians to accept the generosity of their adoring public (that&rsquo;s you).</p> <p>The concept mirrors the ideal that Amanda Palmer talked about in <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/amanda_palmer_the_art_of_asking?language=enA&amp;amp;bvm=bv.94455598,d.dGc">her awesome TED Talk</a>. Do what you do for love, then ask for help. I suspect that this idea is as old as art, but AFP puts a new spin on it by making it distributed.</p>
