Time to stop using this scummy site

Time to stop using this scummy site. Used to be able to cancel your subscription before you got charged. now its in payment pending 6 days before i normally get charged and it wont let me cancel. Why should i pay full price for another month when i dont want to be a patron anymore, scam site. Support doesnt respond, im blocking them via my banks.

I paid with an annual subscription and…

I paid with an annual subscription and it's been a month now and I get no benefits from the creator and Patreon says I haven't pledged to anyone and is trying to get me to repledge...I canceled my automatic payment with PayPal....now let's see if they refund

Can't trust this service

Can't trust this service. What they did to the Canadian truckers is unforgivable. I've had extremely bad experiences with this service myself. Do NOT trust them with your money, it can be stolen from you at any time.

KYC likely required

They require a bunch of unnecessary KYC info just to process credit card transactions. They also take 15% of the creator's money.

Trash

Trash. Literally trash. Scammed me out of $65. Don't use this app at all. You have zero protection as a subscriber.

No moderation

They say they moderate this site but I don't think they really do. I found a bunch of profiles with CSE material being advertised (children in bikinis) and when I reported them they banned my account just like that. Sent an e-mail to get it back but it's already been a week and I feel like I won't hear from them. I'm done.

horrible horrible support never answers…

horrible horrible support never answers you and when they do its just useless robot garbage

I subscribed on Patreon a day ago to access a broadcast from a YouTuber I follow and immediately logged out, hoping to have access the next time I come. But, unfortunately access to Patreon has been denied as I can't login, I even downloaded their app but it's still the same error. And I'm not sure their customer service will fix the issue here seeing others bad experience with them. If I can't login, then I need a refund please🙄🙄🙄

Selectively ban harmless content, and allow illegal ones.

This is a propaganda channel - they ban people who state opinions that the Patreon management don't agree with. There are also some very dangerous issues - allow illegal underage material and when their security team tried to clamp down on it they all got fired.

Stole my Money and Banned my Account for No Reason

I was looking for good outlets to fund a crowdfund project im starting with my community. I thought to look up good services for monthly crowdfund and came across Patreon. Thought it was good, I've seen it before. Created an account started getting some of my community to start subscribing, managed to get a good amount going. Then I made one post, they instantly suspended my page because they thought I was connected to some other page that broke their community rules. After asking why ...
