Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Patreon is a membership and monetization platform built for creators who want predictable, recurring income directly from their audience. It works especially well for YouTubers, podcasters, artists, writers, and educators offering exclusive content, early access, or community perks. The platform handles payments, subscriptions, and member management, allowing ...Read more

Something's not right (CSAM)

Something's not right (CSAM) I reported NSFW content where the girl was clearly too young to be in suggestive photos... and then I was suspended. I reached out to customer support to ask why they suspended my account, and they ignored my support ticket. I subscribed to several creators (totalling around $50/month) and it kept charging my credit card. Since they suspended my account, there was no way for me to cancel my subscriptions manually and when I submitted a support ticket, they ...

This ba***rd is a sccamer

This ba***rd is a sccamer. I paid the value of a month's subscription and nothing came to me. I opened a dispute in Paypal and the dispute was won because this animal proved that I had received the download. I hope one day I find someone to punish this ba***rd.

I never subscribed to this or any…

I never subscribed to this or any creator. My cc got charged $5 which was weird. I disputed this after trying to contact patreon. I have not other info. They send a doc. showing the amount and charge but no creator name or my name on it. So someone got a hold of my cc but no way to get any help. They need to do more than just throwing the blame. If i know the name of the one who subscribed or the creator, it would help so much!

Obllging you to send them your details…

Olblging you to send them your financial details via e-mail. After registering on their web-site my account became blocked with no explanation. I had to write them a letter and ask what was the problem - they responded in 30 hours and said I needed to send them my bank card details (not an entire code). I did not use an encrypted e-mail provider while registering on their web-site - they want the bank card details (even partial) being send to them by e-mail and register from your own IP ...

Sketchy AF

Found several accounts selling "adult/18+" creations featuring children wearing lingerie or swimsuits or nothing at all, posing erotically and touching themselves and all the comments are creeps defending the posts as "art". There is no way this is art or that these are adults, and the accounts selling this crap have hundreds of subscribers. Then they banned my account after reporting it so I kind of figure they know about it and aren't going to remove it unless someone like police take it down.

Engages now in active censorship

Engages now in active censorship by deactivating the accounts of people I admire and follow. Just because they encourage people to critically think, does not mean it is a bad thing. Nor should Patreon feel it has the right to censor because of a viewpoint they do not agree with. My one warning to you, you will no longer exist in the near future. You are sprinting towards obsolescence.
