Patreon issue

Does the value system in which we currently live always bring the wrong people to power? Or does power itself corrupts those who have the most to do with it?

I don’t have an answer for you on that.

But I can at least take steps to ensure that the wrong people have less power over me and that I certainly don’t help any of them to become more powerful in any way.

I’ve already mentioned that Patreon really managed to piss me off and I gave myself time to calm down. But nothing’s really changed, I’m still just as angry as before that they’ve turned into a fucking corporation. Or have they always been one?

The thing is, they didn’t do anything to me directly. They did a lot worse. They fucked someone I was helping and messed with my feelings by doing so quite a lot. I don’t forgive that shit easily. Especially when it comes to business.

To change things, I first have to admit that I was wrong to promote Patreon, lock up unique content behind their paywall, and encourage others to get a Patreon account to see my content.

I don’t want to do that anymore. I hope my dear patrons will understand: I appreciate your support, but I don’t want to create some kind of monopoly on how to support me.

I’m not terminating my account on Patreon, but it won’t get the priority it had before. Let’s say it’s punished for now.

What does it all mean?

1. From now on I open the comments on all new posts and most of the new content will be public.
2. I’ll provide more options to support me and my projects in the next few days.
3. Some of the locked content from the past will become public too.
4. Corporations should burn in hell.
