Coffee time…

In the never-ending uphill battle to make Lostinanime.com viable financially, I’m always looking for new weapons to deploy.  I’d been thinking about Ko-Fi (or one if its competitors) for a while.  On the one hand there’s certainly overlap with LiA’s existing support streams Patreon and Paypal.  Those are great and I’m sticking with them.  But I decided to add Ko-Fi to the mix for a couple of reasons. In a sense it effectively combines the best features of Paypal and Patreon…

• You can do quick and easy one-time tips any time you like – just press the button.
• You can also become a monthly subscriber, as is the case with those other services.  But it’s super-easy here and a bit different from Patreon.  There, LiA’s monthly patrons support the site on a per-post basis, with whatever monthly cap they choose.  On Ko-Fi, you just set a flat monthly contribution level – whatever amount you like.

I’m hugely grateful to everyone who supports me on Patreon and Paypal, and I hope you’ll continue to do so.  Ko-Fi just gives you a new way to support – if you find a post especially useful and want to register your appreciation, if you want to do a flat monthly pledge, whatever.  Ko-Fi – like Patreon – offers the option for tiered support benefits.  I’ve long considered it, believe me – but I’ve resisted the concept of premium content for as long as possible and for now, I still will.  I can’t say it’s off the table for the future – if I want the site to survive, it’s an option I have to seriously consider.

Lastly, let me express my sincere appreciation to everyone who reads and comments – you make this all worthwhile.  Of course the YouTube channel is out there and doing well – I’d certainly be very grateful if you’d subscribe to me over there if you haven’t already.

Stay frosty,

Enzo
