For what? Clicking a “pay this person $5 a month” button? Maybe commenting on a post or watching a video? I don’t see how the platform could affect that in any significant way.


Any sort of audio/video control for sure, which is a substantial portion of patreon content. Also, if you want to support offline content, it's nearly impossible to do it in a browser.


What’s wrong with the native html <video> tag? Or <audio>? I use those for everything and i’ve never been unable to control media.


The app is better for viewing the content you paid for. Patreon is not just for subscribing to creators. They also deliver content. This isn't hard to understand.


What does the app do that <video> <img> and <audio> cannot?
