The impulse by creators to go "per item" is very understandable, though. It takes away the pressure (particularly for folks using Patreon as a side-gig) to get something—anything!—out on a monthly basis. I'm very willing to send a couple of bucks a month to most of the creators I like even if I don't get something tangible out of it. I'm just happy knowing I'm helping keep the creative juices flowing—or whatever. I may be unusual in that attitude, though.
