We messed up. We’re sorry, and we’re not rolling out the fees change.
Patreon’s CEO Jack Conte announced that its new, controversial payment structure for creators would NOT be implemented after all and that any future changes would be ones made after consulting their user base.
We’ve heard you loud and clear. We’re not going to rollout the changes to our payments system that we announced last week. We still have to fix the problems that those changes addressed, but we’re going to fix them in a different way, and we’re going to work with you to come up with the specifics, as we should have done the first time around.
