Exactly, you can support art without anything coming out of your pocket! Some whales could move amounts of money that would render kickstarter obsolete, and at no personal cost to themselves.
I find myself reflecting on the Renaissance patron system of art funding a lot lately as well haha. Mostly in that I wish I had a patron sugar daddy XD
Still, I also feel like steemit is the crowdfunding/crypto answer to that patron system of old. It's way more democratic anyway!
