For those not in the know, this is a cool site where you can pledge to donate a certain amount of money monthly to an artist:

Great to support all kinds of artists, especially those who do not produce easily sellable goods, such as visual artists and the like.

I currently support two with a modest sum.

Sophie Scholl

Currently supporting two as well.  Small indie text games I enjoy. :)

I give donations to two or three content producers I like. I don't do monthly donations.

I don't know. I mean there are former buzzfeed folk who also get people to donate them money through this. I doubt the people funding them are wealthy.

Not really, my donations are about $15 per artist, so $30 per month in total. Nothing to brag about.

I have a theory that most humble brag accusations come from people who are actually jealous :hmm:

why would someone humbly brag? why not just brag if the person is the type to brag?
