Patreon’s Silence Is Destroying Their Two Greatest Successes

&gt; Patreon is methodically trying to burn that payment aggregation to the ground and call it a feature.<p>Patreon is one of the few places where it actually makes sense to give $1-2&#x2F;month such that it&#x27;s not all eaten up by fees. This is one of their most important features, and it&#x27;s baffling that they don&#x27;t seem to understand it.<p>The impact is already clear, and that&#x27;s without any major creators jumping ship yet:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;graphtreon.com&#x2F;patreon-stats" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;graphtreon.com&#x2F;patreon-stats</a><p>If they&#x27;re absolutely dead set on this decision (for scary legal reasons, I guess?), the only useful compromise I can think of would be to allow an annual pledge; let me transfer $12 or $24 at once.
