Many creators mentioning they lost hundreds of their patrons suddenly and patrons confused as to why their payments are being declined. Patreon is such an old company that hasnt done anything to improve their service for years while the CEO makes youtube videos and seemingly nothing with the company. I hate how much of a monopoly they have in the space, they clearly have no vision for improving their website or app.

I hate their entire policy around what you can and cannot say or do, on their platform or somewhere else.

When you use Stripe/Paypal as your payment processor you have to be willing to accept whatever demands they (and the banks backing them) decide to make on any given day.

Let's not even talk about Visa and MasterCard. They could choose to end your business at any time.

I'm pretty sure it was clearly shown that it was a tiny bit of that and a huge pile of Jack power tripping.

Can you elaborate?
