How this is measured

Every figure comes from real Patreon emails captured in Inbox Archive, not from a survey or a vendor report. Day and time charts appear once a brand has enough scheduled campaigns archived to plot them honestly. Compare against every brand we track, or browse Patreon campaigns.
