As far as I know there are already:

  1. E-commerce market = XMRBazaar
  2. Freelance market = monero.jobs
  3. Donation and Stream = Xmrchat

But i still didn't see a subscription service that can become alternative to Patreon. What make Patreon interesting is that you can make a tiered service for your supporter and plus you can give exclusive content that only the member can access. Does anyone know such service exist within the Monero community?

UPDATE:
Because there is few information available on the service with such concept thus born XMRStars, a membership platform for people that want to monetize their content made by @nolan.

@Otherfren I agree on your takes. As far as I know we can't solve the first problem. That's why I wanna approach the Mullvad Model (day based) and whenever user want to continue to support, they will add balance them accounts/pay package.

@Kodomu after reading your comment, I would say it's better to send to package's transaction directly to creator and calculate the percentage, end of the month, creator can pay to xmrstars. But one thing concerns me is that fake creator accounts and scam activity. If we go with this way, I believe I have to verify every single new creator at day one. Also, if we keep all the money on one wallet on our system, I believe hackers might be interested on our funds etc. I don't wanna lose people's money and loose trust on my name from community.

Thank you for feedback everyone @Otherfren @Kodomu @sepia <3

BTW, @Mav published a blog post about xmrstars here: https://monero.forum/thread/blog-post-xmrstars-pateron-alternative Thanks dude <3

@nolan I thought about it some more, and there's two ways you could handle the fees.

Say the fee is 10%, for every 9 payments directed to the creator, you can direct one to the site's wallet (you could take this one first and then release the others directly). You could also make creators deposit some amount to be directed to fees. This solves the issue with the fees potentially going unpaid.
