Patreon doesn't know what Patreon is. You can see it with the Memberful purchase. They want to be a membership site thing.
There are already so many companies that do that, and better.
Memberful only had 500 paying customers when Patreon bought it. Everything it does, Gumroad and 20+ others do better.
Patreon was unique, then they raised a half billion dollars they had to justify. They could have built Memberful for less than what they likely paid. Clueless.
