Okay, back on wifi. There’s a fair bit that jack asked me not to talk about publicly but I’ll say what I can: 1) they know they fucked up 2) they know why everyone is so angry 3) they still think the service fee changes are necessary- I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere

4) they are discussing plans to mitigate the problems with Patreon and make the fee change worthwhile in the long run 5) there was no mention of “raising capital” or “investors,” I was told the money is just to keep the lights on

6) they know small donors and small creators are getting boned the worst by all this. Their attitude is that this fee change will allow them to do things to HELP small creators (and donors) in the long run.

7) I have no idea if 6 is true. Just reporting what I was told. 8) I opened the conversation by telling Jack how much money he had lost me and my friends 9) I’m sure I’ll remember more later

My feelings about the situation haven’t really changed: the new fees suck and if you have to cancel pledges bc of them I understand. I hope you won’t but I get it.

I think the ethical thing for me to do now is stop talking about it bc I have privileged info and I don’t want my biases to affect the conversation from here on out.

I don't see anything unethical about using privileged information in a situation like this.
