Patreon is a COMPLETE SCAM. They take absolutely no responsibility for the actions of creators who advertise goods and services on their site. They say you can report creators who don't honor commitments, but when you follow their instructions it leads to a dialog that says you need to contact the creator directly. As if that helps when the creator has already ignored your repeated messages!Unlike any other proper online marketplace there is no reputation system and no way to leave reviews. You can't even comment on creator posts if you're not currently subscribed to them. So there's no way for anyone to know if a creator is a thief, and Patreon takes zero responsibility for the fraud happening in their marketplace. Shame on them!--Update after Patreon reply: As I said, your "report" flow leads only to a dialog that says to contact the creator directly. Which of course I already tried to do multiple times before trying to report him for non-compliance.Beyond that, you take no responsibility for what happens in your marketplace. Imagine eBay, Amazon or Etsy without reviews and a reputation system. How can you offer a marketplace without the ability for consumers to know who they're sending money to? I had stupidly assumed that you had protection against fraud--I didn't realize that your business model was to benefit from it yourself.
