Patreon is launching its Snapchat-like photo and video feed for artists
Patreon has launched a new feature that it announced last year: a Snapchat Stories-like feed where artists can share pictures and video with patrons. Lens is now available in the Patreon mobile app, after limited beta testing as a separate service. As with Stories, artists record photos and videos on their phone, then post them to a feed where they’ll disappear after 24 hours. If a patron has the app installed, they’ll get a notification for each update, so they can catch the post before it’s gone.
Lens provides something lots of artists already offer: a candid and exclusive look at their work. (Individual posts can be either shared publicly or limited to backers.) But it’s potentially simpler for people who aren’t already using services…
