Deleting my Patreon account. Sorry to the creators but I can't support this evil company.

I cancelled my account today.

> But Patreon told CNBC that using the site to support the purchase of military equipment was banned.

I didn't check the ToS. This might be true. However, in case they should've prohibited the creation of the campaign.

It's probably a mistake on Patreon's side, both in terms of business (if this goes viral) and communicating company values.

The account was working for long time. And only when Ukrainian Army needed it the most - they blocked account freezing money. For example I've donated big sum to the account and Patreon locked all of it. Even if they return it later... Maybe later it would be late.

I'm removing my Patreon account and ask other people do it too. Praying for Ukrainian Army.

Yes, the timing is very bad. It would be good to read Patreon's comments on this.

I just hope it's not a fear of Russian's hackers.

I think Pateron is simply doing 'private platform' things, and can do business with whoever they want, mistake or not.

And in return, we can hit them the only place where they seem to feel pain: their wallet.

Shame on them.

This is what Bitcoin exists for. Over past 24 hours a 80BTC was donated, compared to 25BTC over entire existence of the project.

Fuck Patreon, fuck their employees for not blocking offices and protesting this decision, and especially fuck their CEO, please go bankrupt, shameful.

Please donate to help stop this russian fascist scourge: https://savelife.in.ua/donate/
