yes, also depends when we're talking... 10,000 BC is going to be different from 1600 AD
Also, as soon as you're talking about several tribes, there's no guarantee that they were all the same - this is assumed for convenience.
- Specialisation probably reduced conflict e.g. fishermen would not be hunting same buffalo herd as the tribe next door
- so if multiple tribes developed exclusive specialisations, it would minimise risk of genocide and the entire trade network should be seen more akin to how city states worked.
getting funding from your fans is nothing new. all patreon did do was making it a little easy for a hefty fee. But at time did pass on they did go around and did borrow insane amount of money for some reason and now the people that did borrow them the money is waning it back. but as they did at the same time go woke and is kicking the wrong thinkers off it site the money coming in is drying up. and after the last week with people not getting any money and patron says, you can have some money in advance it will just cost you 20% of your donation instead of the "normal" 10%
it like your bank refusing to pay you your pay check on time because of "problems" but if you just pay them a extra fee they will fix it for you or you can just wait until we get to it. it may take a week or two extra. it a sure sign that they have no more money left to keep the operation going and if you did have a patron I had recommended you look for a new solution
and from some reports they are looking at making new creators on patron sign contracts that will make patron the owner of the creators things that he funds via patron, something that will kill them in a instant if they do
