I see where you’re coming from. If Patreon isn’t suiting our needs, change our needs or go elsewhere. The problem for most of us, it seems, is that Patreon isn’t delivering on the features that promise to fill our needs. We came in with expectations that those specific needs would be met, so it’s not as if we were wanting more than what was given to us (necessarily, obviously new features can be added, but I’m strictly talking bare bones here), but we’re not given them in the first place.

I understand how you feel, but I don’t know if it’s fair to point directly at her. It’s definitely a site-wide problem among the staff, and we have no idea what goes behind the scenes. We don’t know all of what she’s allowed to say or do. And if you’re a part of the Discord, you’ll have seen a recent debacle come up with what users (and Reyna) thought was a bug, until she talked with other employees to find out it was an intended feature change. So there might even be an internal communication issue in their company as well.

I definitely agree with this. But I will also point out, again, this is all on the Discord, which in and of itself is frustrating–but there seems to be more of a push than I’ve seen before in terms of correcting this issue.

Reyna posted today:

I’m working with multiple teams to make our communication with you all about Patreon’s product development more regular and transparent. On Tuesday, I’ll be posting an early community-only edition of the 2020 Wrap Up + 2021 Look Ahead blog post that Patreon will be publishing publicly mid-week - your version will also have some extra bits of info not included in the public blog post.

This is of course, all still words and no, as of yet, visible action. But I’m looking forward to the promised communication changes.

At the very minimum, there is some promise with this thread:
