justice-turtle:

ahahahahahaaaa *laughs my well-rounded ass off* Somebody got smacked down HARD. Patreon’s so used to being the only game in town, they forgot that their core userbase was likely to kick back. Angry fans are like swans: they will not only beat you up, they will bring everybody they ever met to beat you up as well. That is possibly the most sincere-sounding apology I have ever seen from a corporation. ^_^

@ksonney, best known to fandom as Ursula Vernon’s husband, has offered to help creators look at their options and set up somewhere else if switching away from Patreon is a thing you still want to do. (Which it might be! As Ursula put it on Twitter, “They’ve unburned that bridge, but there are still scorch marks on the foundations.”)
