serious question: should i set up a patreon etc

the main reason i do not have one right now is that i would suddenly be a “small business” in the eyes of accounting law, the tax agency and probably my bank, and so i would have to invest quite a bit of time, effort and money into being able to receive money. and who knows if i will even break even!! also i'd feel pressure to live up to expectations tbh

@hikari I like how in other countries this is like actually a thing you need to think about rather than a quick way to save 15% or more on taxes

@hikari @saagar it's less the taxation difference and more the idea of it being complicated. you can just do stuff as an individual here. or you can get a business license it isn't much paperwork (at least assuming you don't do much) just an extra set of tax documents each year
