Any Indie Hackers monetizing through Patreon?

was wondering who all here was getting by on subscription based donations like patreon?

If so can you tell me what you like and dislike about the platform?

How do you get new patrons?

Have you had success in converting low tier patrons to a higher tier?

Would you be interested in an alternative way to monetize your followers/patrons?

Just doing a little research for a new side project I'm cooking up, I appreciate your feedback and let me know if you've got any thing that you want me to check out!
