Thank you for your thoughts.

The type of community I'm building could include Youtube / Podcast and I think Patreon could tie everything together.

I wouldn't mind using Patreon as a way to provide commercial free content, previews and access to early features, voting on roadmap stuff.

I like how aharris00britney built the tiers. "Early Access + Voting" and

So you have a very good point... just make it very explicit what users are getting.
