Seems like Patreon is their most successful comparable model. Patreon offers tiers of 7.9%, 10.9%, and 14.9%, while Hyper offers 5% pay-as-you-go, or a flat $299 monthly.<p>So if you're, let's say, a Twitch streamer with 5,000 subs but 20,000 Discord members, I could see a strong use case for Hyper, because there's such minimal friction for both customers (Patreon rewards are often disconnected from other community channels like Discord) and sellers (subscriptions can be configured to change roles, allowing access to permissions, channels, etc).<p>Hyper: $300mo flat / 2000 users @ $5mo = 3%
Patreon (lowest tier): 2000 users @ $5mo * .079 = $790<p>Hyper: $300mo flat / 5000 users @ $5mo = 1.2%
Patreon (lowest tier): 5000 users @ $5mo * .079 = $1975<p>Looks viable to me!
Is there any real business going over discord & telegram? I've only seen scammer, illegal porn and conspiracy believers sell through those channels. Legit Influencers are usually using patreon, onlyfans or similar platforms.
Discord has some really useful but non-search-indexable info in it. Putting communities behind a paywall would make it way tougher to openly access info.<p>Probably make some good money though...
I really like this idea, but as someone that isn't that involved in Discord. I would love to see a top hits list of current communities using Hyper.
This is awful. If drm-ed pay to access sites weren't bad enough. Now we have a way to late stage capital our way into setting literal invite links.
