"...creator economy startups have learned that their metrics only work with influencers, not creatives. They’ve recalibrated everything to enable influencers, leaving creatives woefully underserved. The relationship was doomed from the start."

patreon continually getting worse frustrates me greatly because it's literally a money printing middle-man service where all you've gotta do is keep the lights on and comply with banking laws, but instead they hoover up venture capital just to flail endlessly and make things worse for their users.
