    “Why we’re updating our pricing” mostly says more people are using it than ever, not that they’ve made enough changes to warrant getting extra money.

    And I guess that’s technically true. If people are too locked into their platform, then that’s a great reason for them to update their pricing: to benefit themselves over creators.

      not that they’ve made enough changes to warrant getting extra money.

      They’ve added video, which is a pretty substantial expense.

    Seriously, hasn’t any of these companies looked around for the past decades?

    Whenever I read a report like this, said company will be dead or sold off for parts within a few years because all the customers walked away.

    You’re facilitating a basic service, a basic service people can easily do without. Don’t get cocky, be happy with what you got, be grateful, be sure your customers know you’re grateful.

    Get greedy gets death

    Our prices are increasing for creators who publish a new Patreon page after August 4, 2025

    Basically this. So translating from corporate to human they see their business model is stagnating ?
