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

They offer you a 3rd tier package…

They offer you a 3rd tier package without rendering the service and then go ahead to tell you to upgrade to a higher service. They claim to know so much but they are deceptive. They even sweet talk you on YouTube, It's a scheme to reap you off.

Patreon = Government puppets

I didn't realise that Patreon were censoring truth. Well they are and this is not their role. They are not Government puppets and should not be promoting the Agenda. I've stopped using them and do not recommend them.

No refund

I'm not really happy with Patreon. I made a purchase with one of the creator : MayContainGirl. The advertisement on the front page was misleading and confusing. All materials were blocked. I was unable to access anything at all. I want to cancel it and get full refund. They (Patreon & creator) are just playing games and no refund. They just keep me waiting and waiting... Don't ever think of Patreon. And most items on Patreon are sexual in nature, it's kind of porn, be aware. Once they took ...

Patreon runs a good service

Patreon runs a good service. What's not to like? You get what you pay for. It may take a little getting used to that's all. Happy customer!

Awful customer support

About 2 months ago, I purchased a subscription for a product on patreon. The product did not work so I tried contacting the creator and patreon themselves. I got an email saying the refund request had been received and that it was being processed. 2 months later and still no refund or email.

Very suspicious and illegal. STAY AWAY!

Very suspicious and illegal.My daughter was sexually assaulted when she was 15 and the video was sold on Patreon. Within days, everybody at her school found out and bullied her over the illegal video.I reached out to Patreon to ask to have them remove it and Patreon told me to contact them on their help center at their website but after I submitted the ticket, I never heard back from them. I sent them dozens of e-mails, my attorney sent them e-mails and the police sent them e-mails and ...

This companies customer service is…

This companies customer service is dreadful. I contacted them over a year ago to cancel any subscriptions I had on my account. After thinking my subscriptions had been cancelled I was still actually charged £200+. I think an article in a national newspaper should suffice and warn people from using this service. If anyone else has suffered when using patreon please leave contact information in your reviews I will be checking in as they need to be exposed and I have the connections.
