Many creators mentioning they lost hundreds of their patrons suddenly and patrons confused as to why their payments are being declined. Patreon is such an old company that hasnt done anything to improve their service for years while the CEO makes youtube videos and seemingly nothing with the company. I hate how much of a monopoly they have in the space, they clearly have no vision for improving their website or app.

Patreon always has some lind of problem every now and then. To this day I haven't been able to even create an account there because they won't let me.

Are there no other services that creators/donators can use (apart from Liberapay that I see a bit lower in the comments)?

There's Subscribestar.com (and subscribestar.adult for the more spicy content) but they don't support PayPal.
