Seeking support for my YouTube channel (still on the fence)

I have been thinking for a little while about setting up a “BuyMeACoffee” for my YouTube channel. This service is similar to the Patreon service to seek support for your YouTube channel, but I think the big difference-I may be wrong-is that the “BuyMeACoffee” system is entirely voluntary.
