Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?

Patreon is backing down on its chiseling fee structure change: "We messed up. We're sorry, and we're not rolling out the fees change."

This is a good thing to hear. It is not complete. Creators have lost patrons and income and trust and I would like to know how Patreon plans to make any of that back up. I want to know that they are addressing not just the "problems" but the mindset that made this payments system overhaul look like a good idea in the first place. But in the words of umadoshi, I am feeling cautiously optimistic. The Washington Post has further details.

Keep 'em coming, Festival of Lights.

I liked the "People are not machines, we realise that now" quote or whatever it was. As... opposed to before?

"People are not machines. And we have to respect that." Yes! You do! At least they now seem to be acting like it.
