I support a podcast on Patreon but the special content has never worked properly for subscribers.
Combined with the fee increase to 10%, this seems like an effort to boost profitability for an IPO.
Unfortunate that the plan is to go public. Ideally the people who run it would be valued as stewards and curators instead of interchangeable cogs.
I hope to see one of these DIY platforms eventually become a cooperative.
Capitalism ain’t ever gonna be your friend. Not gonna be a friend to artists who outlive their usefulness, either.
I will start asking creators I support to switch to Ko-fi.
I wish they’d just switch to Zelle…

Patron fires mostly middle manager, gives a great 16 week severance plus a year of healthcare and extras, says AI isn’t replacing employees, and y’all still screeching 🤣
Nothing will ever make you happy 🤣
People losing their jobs should never make anyne happy.
Middle managers losing their jobs will always make me happy
Not if they’re middle management, there’s not anyone who does actually does anything useful there.
But it does have to happen at times 🤷♂️ and here y’all are screeching
Why does it have to happen?
This is either b8 or you’re just not a very nice person.
👌👍
What are you on about? It’s literally enshittification. We’ve seen this 1000 times before, from 1000 different services and companies. That’s why people recognize the beginning…
so many youtube creators depend on patreon, wonder where they go next.
Yeah I’m sure they’ll leave in mass 🙄
…en masse
No, they’ll leave during church service!
Do all Christians call it mass, or is that just a Catholic thing…? 🤔

I know how important it is for folks to be able to say goodbye, so we’ve created a #gratitude-and-farewell Slack channel as a place for all of us to connect, if you feel comfortable.
Getting your ass kicked out the door, but you’re supposed to feel grateful ffs
Let me say, as a person who worked at a company that used to silently disappear people, it sucked finding out in Thursday that so-and-so has been gone for a week and a half and wasn’t coming back.
So I, at least, appreciate the idea that they get to communicate at all.
News still sucks, but I wanted to throw that in
it sucked finding out in Thursday that so-and-so has been gone for a week and a half and wasn’t coming back.
Only thing worse than that is finding out day of because you’re the one that has to terminate all their accounts. Did that to two of my coworkers in the span of about 18 months…
Pretty sure this is for people to thank their departing friends and teammates. Not the other way around.
Maybe they should start a Patron to raise funds…
