Ryan Ajit Pai was an Obama appointee I believe.

He was appointed by Obama as a commissioner of the FCC (because Mitch McConnell recommended him. Apparently it is normal that the minority party gets to choose 2 of the the commissioners.) Trump made him the Chairman (the head of the 5 commissioners).

i think patreon numbers are declining because news is way too long. pretty sad to see. should be 30min, and the 3 hour version called podcast. i don't watch it anymore for months, you want to waste too much of my precious time. think about it. still love you bae. kisses

The longer the news the better imo. For actual news I'll just read HN. I'm here for the personalities.

Everything you just said is wrong. PLEASE DISREGARD GUYS! I would be ok with fewer articles and more commentary though.

Doesn't the sudden drop off correlate to the drama around Patreon? Would need to cross reference with other sites like Ko-Fi

Best episode..

level1

Most of our exit surveys indicate that it is indeed unhappiness with Patreon that's causing several people to leave. The other highest reason we see is "a change in my financial situation", which is more than reasonable.
