Patreon News (Please Read) (Patreon)

There have been a lot of people on social media announcing that everyone should delete patreon immediately.

However. From a creator’s standpoint:

I want everybody to be safe. So if there is indeed some sort of threat to security on Patreon’s end confirmed, I will share that with you.

But I urge you not to jump to deleting your account right away due to unconfirmed information. Many artists, myself included, rely on this income to put food on the table.

I’ve already had a number of people leave due to this. But if it turns out to be a false warning, it could ruin a lot of artists abilities to continue their work due to potentially false information.

I will keep doing digging as best as I can while traveling. If I find concerning information I will share it with you all right away.

[For Context:

Patreon laid off 5 security employees.

One of these employees stated publicly that the “entire security team” was laid off.

Some interviews have Patreon stating this is false, and that a majority of their security engineers are still on the job, while others say they’ve made no comment.]
