Comment on welp, Patreon just destroyed my stable income after a decade on the platform - what now

  It’s an absolutely dick move by Patreon.

  I guess Patreon figure it will make them as a platform more money, because people tend to forget about subscriptions and just let them keep going.

  But it’s awful for creators who release less frequently, because people will start to feel cheated when months go by and they don’t get anything. And I’m sure the creators won’t enjoy that pressure either.

  It’s like Patreon are cracking the whip, telling creators “Work faster, you have to justify your monthly subscription now!”

  Assholes.

    I guess I just be weird because an ongoing monthly subscription to a creator is never something I’m willing to consider, though I have made many one-time contributions.

    It’s about time for patreon to start being crappy, and lose to the next challenger who is good, if the cynic calendar is on point in this case.
