Would like to hear any success stories for media (and speciifcally sports media). I've been running a sports blog for 5+ years and don't use Patreon but have seen many friends start that effort in the last year.

To be honest, I don't think I have ever seen anyone making more than $200 or so a month (which is probably better than if they were CPM only but not enough for a real sportswriter to pay much more than their internet bill unfortunately).
