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

Best of luck to patreon

I had subscribed to a creator for 20 dollars on the 30th of september, patreon then cancelled my subscription on the 3rd of october meaning i lost all benefits, i contacted the creator and he said he did not even receive the 20 dollars i have sent an email to the support team, but i am in shock that a company as big as patreon would be willing to stoop so low as to steal a measley 20 bucks also there costumer service responds really slow to the point where once i do get my money back i ...

Placed an unfavorable comment onto Patreon about their lack of integrity because they took monthly payments but did not provide the music service promised as per monthly payments. They quickly deleted my comment within an hour. Of course, deleting my comment reflects their ethics!

No Customer Service.

I thought I might be alone on this one. Clearly I'm not. My issue is a simple one really. Two Factor authentication. Lost the auth app on my phone. Other businesses were able to resolve the issue in minutes. Provided my email, provided past transaction emails, etc. I've not gotten a response at this point. I don't care to be honest as I will never use them in the future but I did want to keep the option open. Requested help on discord from the community and pretty much this is how this ...

Just Say Your Sorry When You Make a Major Mistake

I have been a Patreon Supporter for years. I have always paid through PayPal and until this month have never had an issue. According to my PayPal records I have contributed four figures to many different creators. This month (August 2023) all my monthly payments have failed. At first, I thought it was my issue because I had added another creator in July and they tried to process the payment through Patreon Ireland. I contacted them and Patreon replied and told me it was my fault for the ...

Account&money Deleted without my consent.

Deleted NOT Suspended. Ie I broke no conditions. They deleted me and congratulated me for it. I just set up my account. I have a bunch of subscribers paying between $5 and $25 and they just sent me an email saying “congrats we’ve honoured your request to delete your account and all of your data” I NEVER WOULD ASK FOR THAT. Why would I want you to delete my account? I have just started this account and I am growing my followers, and it’s so new that I haven’t ever withdrawn any money from ...

"easy for me to use"

What do you like best about Patreon? The advantages of Patreon are it's well-known, and I can upload text or images in seconds. I'm blessed with some Patrons. What competitors>. How thin can I, a multimedia artist and author, spread myself? I run my whole enterprise.
