New Discovery Features: Roadmap, Feedback, and Results!
I've spent a lot of time lately talking about how social media is broken and how the world needs an alternative. This video gets into the actual solutions and features we've been building and trying (with over 200 creators in the beta now!) to give creators a way grow their audiences right on Patreon.
The TLDR: we're launching a few new features: 1) a new type of post called a Quip. Quips go out to the entire Patreon community -- not just your members -- so you can get discovered and grow your community on Patreon. 2) A discovery feed where Quips go when you publish them. This feed will be separate from the "Memberships" feed, so unlike social media, this discovery experience won't be forced on everyone.
Full detail in the video! If you're interested in trying out the features, you can sign up for the waitlist by logging into your account and heading here: https://www.patreon.com/edit/about

I've been a Patreon creator for about 10 years. These are very cool ideas, but I feel that Patreon discounts the importance and validity of 18+ Creators. Please include us.
Yessss social media has become what feels like solely an extraction machine. 💔 thank you for creating this space for us! 🥰
It is very difficult to use, post, and grow on Patreon. Too complicated
What aspect ratios work best for quips? I see some video aspect ratios auto play while others don’t (depending on which mobile device I’m using) - noticed if a video doesn’t auto play that it’s not as interesting looking because there might be a less clear frame selected as the thumbnail. Suggestions on how to deal with this?
Love this man’s honesty! When I hear him speak about what is bothering him, I am comforted. Why? Because I know he will strive to resolve it versus lie to his audience.
Wonderful

Hm, this shows up on my home feed now? Feels odd.
This is really helpful! I got access to the quips feature and had no clue what it was. Watching this really helped understand it and I’m excited to try it out 🙌
I'm just gonna say this...I relate to the delete instagram comment! XD
I really love the discovery feature of quips now. I am 80% on closing my other socials or keep my best choice outside Patreon and focus on quips! ❤️
Thank you Jack. You’re a gift 🙏🙏🙏
I'm excited to use quips for the more personal touch! I'm a creator who pulled back as things got more strange these last few years. I'm happy to have a place to share my art again!
So so so real bro and I love it
As a creator, I love this feature. Now I get to make more brains better! So, it's a win-win situation.
Hey a new , like this month , patron using your name randomly asked me to PM them , I went ahead and reported them but though you might wanna know.
Apparently I am not the only one he is trying to get to DM him 😳.
We’re on the waitlist- just wondering if there is an updated timeline for Quips✌🏼Thanks! GALEXI
A rough timeline would be super helpful🧚♀️
So initially you may see 25% 50% 10% extra growth but is that going to be maintained? Three, six twelve months down on the road Is my question?
This is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do with Tim Kulig Free Music - build relationships, provide MASSIVE value to creators, and provide a catalog of royalty-free to the creator, safe to use tracks in all your creations.
I cannot see any difference yet— no profile merging or "quip" option. Is it just me?
Yes, my stories are suitable for all.
REALLY psyched for quips! Glad to finally have a community of creators + people who love supporting creators, as opposed to the normal social media experience where everyone ignores links going to anything
One other question is there a search to search for specific creators you’re looking for on discovery like “rock n roll musicians” that is only an example thank you
Love the new updates! Thank you quick question.. I use Patreon for my beginner raw vegan community that I coach though… so are there others that might not be creators in the sense of music or art, for example, I also play music but not professionally lol but I was wondering if you think I’ll be a good fit for the new features. I would love to find other members organically like this.
Vegannowledge, Excellent question, I'm in a similar situation and would love to hear Mr. Conte thoughts. And to Jack, great Dr. Doctorow reference :) 🩵
Wild! Amazing
I'm on the wait list! thank you!
Jack, thank you SO MUCH!!!! I started my YouTube channel to build community, yet find myself spending more time on getting seem in order to reach community than putting that energy into the real relationships I came to cultivate. That's why I joined Patreon, and I've been hoping you all would do something like this. I'm on the waitlist! thank you thank you thank you!
Nice to see your passion in the video. You don't see that very often with CEO's.
Great video Love that you acknowledge the issue of seeing memberships vs a discovery page. I personally think the memberships page should be the default.
YES! I am desperately looking for an option to make my memberships the default! Otherwise Patreon is turning into a "scroll" app again, I fled from those. Please, Jack, please give me an option to disable or hide this feed! I dont want to see random posts when I open the app. Also the loading of the memberships feed takes like 3 seconds to load every time I open the app and quips are there immediately. What 's up with that?
How does the merge affect past present and future URLs shared from both of our accounts? I love this feature but the warning on it made me step back.
Just ran into this myself... would love clarification
Hi im Timothylimited ( known as gboluaje ) So Hyped To See The New Discovery Features 🙂
i'm excited for quips! great video recap, thanks for sharing the good and bad
Hello beautiful
Will +18 account have access to this amazing new feature? 😀 Of course with some limitations when it comes to nudity…
I think he said that Quips will be rolling out to 18+ accounts at a later date, but they will be getting the feature. (It's probably the Apple/Google app store that are the hold up keeping 18+ accounts from getting the feature day 1, since they're so prejudiced against mature content.🙄) I think the easiest way to handle folks seeing only the content they want is a site-wide toggle setting for each account. (if such a thing is possible). "Hide 18+ content" (accounts, posts, Quips) or "Show 18+ content" should be the very visible options. That way 18+ artists only get shown to people who are interested and no patrons see things they don't want to.
As a former presenter, I would like to tell you personally that your presentation was authentic and full of genuine passion. As a creator of NSFW content, I will wait patiently until we can use QUIPS. I created my account yesterday, so I'm totally new here anyway!
As one of the creators with quips who started using them just a week or two ago, I REALLY love these new features SO MUCH. “Ideal” posting formats are something I’m still sorting out, and thinking about every post as a potential introduction to totally new people is helpful. Some hopes: - “Home” page being the one that shows your current memberships, with Discovery as the tab you toggle to when you want to. As a Memberships-focused platform, the default home page should reflect that imho. - Ability to have images at the top of the post with caption below, instead of caption on top and photo below (like old school Instagram) - Improved Discovery organization — “all” of Patreon vs creators who are recommended by / followed by creators one is a patron for So stoked for Patreon’s focus on improving discovery tools, as that’s the primary thing Patreon has been missing, and with it, Patreon can become an all-in-one place for connection, creation, and sharing. Thank you!
Feedback: Instagram already does this. You see 'discovery' but it's called 'home'. If you want to see only whom you follow, you have to set this. If you want to be different than insta, make 'home' where you only see whom you're following. And 'discovery' a different tab to find more new stuff. This seems so cool! And why isn't even the wait list available to my channel? Why are we being 'punished' again for being a nsfw creator. (Within YOUR opinion by the way, I don't deem myself as such.)
Okay, so seems like you're deliberately ignoring the biggest issue with social media. How do you prevent the top 1% of creators from dominating the entire discovery experience? If I don't post 20 times a day I'm not going to have any chance of competing with someone who does, and also has a massive following. If anything this specifically designed to elevate and entrench people who are already successful.
I disagree; I didn't get a "favoritism" impression at all. He didn't say anything about how Quips will get shown to the public, whether it's speed or popularity based. (I asked a question about the specifics of Quips on this post as well, so I hope in the future he goes into more detail and tips about how newer/less popular creators like us can get seen.) I honestly feel like the Patreon staff might even do a "rising creators" or "hidden gems" Quips highlight section for Patreon accounts with say less than 20 subscribers or something. I honestly think they'd give such promotion to the artists who need it. I think they're very wary of falling down the popularity-contest pit fall of typical social media, since that would be so frustrating and would literally defeat the purpose of a discovery feature.
Participation in Patreon feels stifling from the lack of creative tools to make posts with to the lack of support of nsfw creators. I’d love a return to the old days of social media. Maybe this is the beginning of that.
Thanks for the updates, Jack! I'm a patron rather than a creator and I haven't really interacted with Quips in the app because I would rather focus on the posts from the people I support already. Glad to see that you are looking at better separation between the Discovery feed and the Memberships feed! It would be good to understand if introducing Quips has mainly generated new revenue or if it has mainly moved revenue around from existing memberships. Appreciate you might need longer term data from more creators to understand that and that there could be commercial sensitivity on how much detail you could share. My concern would be that you would damage your principle of long-term relationships if Quips encouraged patrons to move their support from existing creators to new ones more often. There's nothing wrong with patrons changing which creators they support whenever they want to, of course. But I would be concerned if a metric like "average months per paid membership" started to decrease significantly even if a metric like "total value of paid memberships" stayed the same or increased slightly
Respectfully I don't really see how showing a patron more creators inherently encourages them to unsubscribe from their current artists. If a new artist is making the patron happier and the patron can only afford so much, then isn't that just the way the cookie crumbles? If the patron doesn't like the new artist's work more than who they've already got then they can just keep scrolling and there's no harm in that either. Competition is part of any business and Quips/discovery just helps more artists be seen at all and therefore makes the field more justly competitive.
I don't necessarily want to see other creators doing the exact same thing, like as if a creator recommends another creator. I want it more focused on my favorites, like "add this picture to what type of pictures I want to see more suggestions of from other creators". Some creators I follow are only followed because I haven't found the ones I reeeally like. And some, I follow because I will hopefully afford to subscribe to them at a later date, but they seem to exchange recommendations rather than giving us good recommendations. Having pictures in our favorites where WE control what we want to be recommended is perhaps better?
A "search by image" or "suggest by image" feature on Patreon is a very interesting idea! 🤔💖 Maybe each artist could tag their own account with searchable descriptors? Or have a private way to label their account/work as similar to "z artist" (for example, I could label my art account as "similar to Larry J" and then the Patreon system knows to suggest me to Larry J's supporters.)
Thanks for this video, I do have feedback on the wording choices. Calling the discovery tab "home" doesn't make as much sense when this is a new feature. "Home" would be more like what you are used to, your memberships. I think keeping the names descriptive with what it actually is "Discover" tab and "Memberships" tab, make it quite clear and retain transparency. "Home" is confusing.
I second that
Are NSFW artists going to have these new features, or are they gonna be held back for us like the shops? Hard to feel excited for anything when these features are released only for non-mature creators. In any case, I do hope these new features work as expected for the community.
Hi there. We're glad that you're interested in these features! For now, any creator that earns on Patreon who makes work suitable for All Audiences may sign up for the waitlist. We're gradually expanding access and over time will consider how to expand access to more and more creators including those that make adult/18+ work.
Yes! Bold and attentive. Thanks
well, uh, okay, good luck with your Twitter clone I guess? Is there any kind of API so that I can crosspost to it from PostyBirb or the like, or is it all manual? I have more than enough places to manually crosspost to already.
🫡 Thanks for the shoutout
I would personally prefer that I see my own community as the home page and then have tabs for discovery and those I follow for free as well as a tab for my paid memberships. But I think what would work for anyone would be to have agency to make our home page one of those four things.
BTW, Fan since the "September" video. Love you guys!
Love this update- thank you! We have two Patreon accounts so would definitely like to be part of any Beta testing.
let's go!
Looking forward to watching this video. I need quips to have a "save" button!
On the way. Will be out shortly. I reference that in the video.
I’m part of the test group, and I’m so excited for where this is going!
So glad to hear you're enjoying these tools in the early access!
Fantastic!! This is the update I have been waiting for. Thank you Patreon!!
I could not agree more on your views with social media, thank you for voicing this and being different! You just made me love Patreon just by this video
agree!!!!
I'm grabbing a coffee for this one! - Back in a sec!! xx ☕🩷
Happy to see the platform begin to take shape! How about a way to seek collaborative partners? Tips for rookies and pro-procratinators... Like me

Thanks for all of this. I appreciate you.
Hey Jack, first of all, I'm genuinely happy to see you happy and excited about what you're building. That's also one of the reasons I love Patreon, is seeing passionate caring people like you behind it. Some thoughts on what I have seen/heard in this video: 1) I did not really understand why a separate Memberships tab was added—shouldn't that already be part of Patreon's main design? I would think that what should have been built separately is the new Discovery tab :) Doesn't that make sense? Making the Home tab the discovery feed changes the default view from "my subscriptions" to "all creators" (which is closer to regular social media concept), so now I have to switch tabs just to see my subscriptions, instead of not doing that action. 2) The whole idea of a feed of posts coming from peer creators is awesome. But what I am currently thinking is, can't that be used to post the exact stuff you mentioned, like crashes and other slop, unrelated to what the creator is creating, since that's not restricted? From what I understand, Quips are a new post type meant for the Discovery feed. Maybe instead of adding a new post type, creators could just mark regular posts with a checkbox to share them publicly. It's not perfect either, but at least it fixes the other problem, i.e. a creator would not add a post with a car crash to a collection of watercolor paintings. 3) By naming it a "Quip", are you hinting at _what_ should be "tweeted"? Like a short, funny, witty post? But can't we be ourselves and make posts without thinking if the post is witty enough for a Quip? ;) Despite the feedback above, I still support the idea of the public feed / discovery. I just mentioned some things which can be fine-tuned while the feature is in development. Looking forward to see it rolled out to everyone!
ahh yes +1 to your first point! I had just made a similar comment
I stopped using social media years ago, so this is something I'm looking forward to
Same here. Patreon and YouTube music is the extent of my social media use since 2019.
I would also like very much to test this new features, but on my profile there is no option to do so… ?

Jack, you're so awesome! The last few times I've been at a festival, when the music turns off, I start playing your music, and people gather. You're such an inspiration. I really want to support any of your methods of making the word better, and I'm so glad you're powerful enough and have such a great team behind you that you can make a change for the positive. I haven't even watched the video, I just saw an interview you did years ago that made me so impressed that you are who you are.
When I noticed the change in my home page I so hoped this was the direction Patreon was going. All of a sudden I was scrolling through artist moments from unfamiliar creators and feeling more relaxed the further I went. I'm hopeful.
would love to be a part of the testing (I'd post a ton :) )

I've been playing around with viewing quips (can't post myself yet but 🤞 soon) and have discovered several creators to follow for free, which is exciting! One question I have is why call it "join for free" rather than the word that's more commonly used for this relationship, which is "follow"?
ugh this all honestly feels like exactly what i’ve been waiting for. kinda feels like it could bring the joy and vulnerability back to “social posting”. i’ll certainly be anxious to take it out for a spin. thanks for everything y’all are doin, jack.
This is so frickin' EPIC! Congrats, Jack, as always I love your passion and care, and it shows in the team and company you've grown. Happy to be back on Patreon after so long away
I’ve just launched Mace Pacardo Photography on Patreon—a new home for my art and a step toward commercializing my work with intention. As Instagram shifts, many photographers feel the loss of visibility. Patreon restores creative control, offering a space where art is valued and shared meaningfully. This marks the beginning of a digital library—built on memory, emotion, and quiet truth. I’m excited to grow this archive and soon join Quips, connecting with a community where authenticity, artistry, and growth thrive.
I listen to members who found my patreon are looking to support through paid memberships versus funnel traffic from other platforms
This looks great! I'd been noticing the quips posts in the app and it was reminding me of tumblr in 2012 in the best way, just interesting posts from people about things they're making, not as reactive or clickbaity as my other social feeds have gotten. Signed up for the waitlist so hopefully getting to post there soon!
Finding people who truly enjoy our content seems tough
This will be cool
This is awesome! 🤩 Thank you Jack and the Team!
I'm a new creator here on Patreon, and I can't find the waitlist, but it seems a great update. I currently use Substack, because it has notes and it let's you have this more "spontaneous" interaction, but since I can't get paid subscribers on Substack because I am from Argentina, I was trying to get people from that platform into this one. I have a sugestion though, if the main idea of Patreon is for patreons to follow closely to their creators, then "Memberships" should be the "Home" tab, and the one that shows potential artists people might be interested in, should be called something like "Discover". Otherwise it seems like it's more important to discover new artists (hey, I'm not complaining being that I have no patreons yet, but that's not the point), instead of staying in touch with the creators people are already supporting.
Seconded. :p
freakin sweet! power to the Creators, not the unseen hands in the shadows. keep the Arts out of the cage! Patreon family 💪💛
I noticed Quips when some of the creators I Patronize posted, but I'm now a free member of some new people I've found through Quips! I like it!
I do feel a great sense of relief creating quips and reading quips from other creators. I have to admit I forget to use IG much, because it's just not what I'm looking for, and I stopped using FB around 2009 (remember when we learned they were experimenting showing people posts that made them unhappy). I use Twitter to stay connected with fellow scientists and scicomm people but I spend a LOT of time muting and blocking, and creating lists of safe contacts. In other words, most social media makes me feel like I'm running defense instead of being social in any meaningful way.
A lot of the scicomm folks I follow have moved to bluesky, which is going okay I guess, but I'm getting a delightful outpouring of early 2010s tumblr energy from quips so far which I'm excited to join once I'm off the waitlist!
I already LOVE Patreon, because it's all about creators. It's not social media. It's not about getting attention. It more about creating and sharing that creative content with our supporters. "Quip" and these other new Discovery Features may be the best thing that has every happened or will happen to Patreon. I'm sooo excited to see how this rolls out!
Getting to know other creators and learning about how they live and create and live creatively... It's really the best.
This video is what people do love about Patreon. It's - "I'm here, with my open heart, I have something really interesting and it's - for you". And it doesn't matter if that comes from a "small" creator from some "small" country or CEO of Patreon, the feel is the same. It's wholehearted, it's transparent, it's "I'm not perfect" pitch, but with so much flavour. And social media are "dying" because they're becoming soulless. Sincerely, I don't know if I, as a "small creator from small country" will have any benefits from Quips (since I only publish in my native language), but whole idea is great, your effort is great and it's such a pleasure to see that there are still serious fighters against soulless world. Keep up the good work. It's inspiring, even in places that you've only heard about in the news.
I have only 1 follower
Hey everyone — THANK YOU for all these awesome comments. I’m in Europe right now visiting our office in Porto today, so it’s midnight for me. I’m going to go to bed and then keep answering comments when I wake up tomorrow! So if you see me not answering comments for a bit that’s why. Huge thank you for all the awesome feedback and comments so far. You all are the best. So much thoughtfulness and goodness in this community.
Great presentation, Jack! You are so focused :) I love how Patreon is staying true to its founding principles as they add new Discovery Features! BTW, I saw the little “Nuclear kittens” afternoon joy ride you and Nataly posted on IG — such a fun clip! You two have such wonderful chemistry together.
How do I join?

this sounds so rad and i'm so hopeful about it. can't wait!
I'm pumped for all of this. You understand the problem. I'm hopeful. Thank you.
I guess I should quip more. I didn’t want to bother people and clog the discovery feed who aren’t interested in true crime, but now I see memberships are prioritized in the feed so that helps.
I feel a big sense of freedom in posting at my own pace instead of worrying about gaming the SM algorithm system just to reach people. Imagine if we didn't have to waste our mental energy on any of that.
The trolling on YouTube, even without viral videos, is one big reason I need to get away from it. Last week I did a live chat that had only ten viewers at peak, but the very first comment was from a troll.
While I do love the idea of "Twitter/IG but creator posts only" and I love the collaborative features as well, I have to mention 2 giant red flags in this video. 1) The Discovery feed shouldn't be the "Home" tab. Why is the Membership feed secondary? Paid memberships should be your priority always. Home feed should be things people CHOSE to see, through their pledges and Discovery should be the secondary tab. And while this might seem like it's not good for us creators because "how will I be seen then?" I don't think short term views are worth pissing off our fans who want to see what they paid for first thing when they log in. 2) The fact that NSFW creators are not even mentioned in this video, is very disappointing. A good chunk of Patreon's Creator Community consists of NSFW creators and yet we are constantly side-lined, missing out on crucial features which then unfairly throttle our growth. (Video uploads for NSFW artists, for example? Visibility in general?) Instead of acting like NSFW creators don't exist, I was hoping this video would mention ways you are planning to manage giving Fans the freedom to curate their pages. Let them opt in or out of Mature Content, and let NSFW Creators have access to the same features as everyone else. I hope you will take this feedback to heart, because I am rooting for this feature, but especially as a nsfw creator myself, I keep getting burned by platforms all the time and it's tiring and disappointing. Please be better than other socials, and include *all* of your creators, while giving the fans the ability to choose the experience they want to have.
Hi Madamka, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, we really appreciate what you've shared. It's helpful to know what you, and other creators, want to see and as we build these new features we'll take feedback like yours into consideration so if you have any additional thoughts, or ideas, please keep them coming.

We're gradually expanding access and over time will consider how to expand access to more and more creators including those that make adult/18+ work. We've expanded feature eligibility across Patreon for our adult 18+ creator community, and expect to continue to have more good news to share as we work hard to not only expand access, but to make creators and your fans experience with these tools as reliable, enjoyable, and safe as you've come to expect from us.

Nice👍🏽
cool!
I LOVE THIS!!!! Thanks SO MUCH!
Long term relationships 🩷
100%🩵
Sounds fascinating. Certainly the market focus makes a lot of sense. You make money only when we make money. So it is in your best interest to help us make more money with your community. That it is not how long we stay on the platform. It is the quality of the experience. My question is, how will you handle negative interactions. The biggest problem with Facebook that I hate about it is that they prioritize negative interactions , I will keep listening in the meantime
Yes exactly. It’s in FB’s interest to surface negative interactions — why?! Because it drives engagement. People are more likely to share something that if they feel angry or upset — that’s bad for humans, and great for FB. When engagement = revenue, this is exactly the dynamic tha emerges. It is also our strategic advantage and why it will be and feel better on Patreon. If you spend an extra 18 seconds in the app, not only do we not care, we don’t even know. “Time spent” is not a metric that our team is even looking at, talking about, or optimizing around. So unlike fb, we do not have an incentive to promote negative / incendiary comments.
As a visual artist who missed the window of opportunity to get popular on social media, I can barely tell you how much a feature like Quips is an absolute relief. It feels like my dream of being a professional artist stands a chance again. And even if my work still isn't good enough to attract patrons, I'll be glad to have a home feed that's just work from other actual artists again. 💜 I'll try to get in the beta but if it's full I'm patiently awaiting the full rollout. One question on how Quips work: how does the Patreon algorithm pick which Quips get shown to which people? Can creators categorize themselves as "magical girl visual artist" or "horror podcaster" and thus get their Quips suggested to fans of those genres? Just for the sake of visual clutter and uniqueness, I hope hashtags aren't introduced into Quips.
I can’t wait to have this feature Jack!
So inspiring, so well-thought, so honest, so refreshing. Looking forward to these new times ahead!
That's awesome! I would rather put more energy into creating videos on Patreon than on Youtube, where it is like a marathon and we are forced to just produce more and more. If I have a chance to be discovered here by ppl who really care about art, then that's a game changer.
Same!! I think this is awesome
So, what exactly happens when you “merge” your profile? Will it be my YouTube channel name or my personal name? Which one is considered my “creator name”? Because it needs to be the former all the way in order to be useful. I don’t want to lose my branding and it not being reversible is kinda scary.
Hi Matt, it will work like you're expecting: your profile on Patreon will center around how you appear now as a Creator. Right now, you have a MEMBER profile view and a CREATOR profile view, when your profiles merge, you will be bringing the two profiles together under your creator page name and profile image - the name and image fans see when you visit your Patreon page, or as you put it: your creator branding. You'll still be able to update your profile display name and profile image just as you were before if you want to make any updates.
There isn't a way to sign up for the waitlist on that link, unfortunately
Hi Mina. Glad that you're interested in these features! For now, any creator that earns on Patreon who makes work suitable for All Audiences may sign up for the waitlist.

I was actually just reading about the reach and conversion of Notes on Substack- so this is great. 👍🏻 I agree with other commenters- instead of Home (discovery) and Memberships, I’d prefer my Home to actually be my home- my place of my creators that I follow. And then label the other tab Discovery, and it’s secondary. I’m interested in seeing how the Quip feed looks like once more creators are in it, since you mentioned- and showcased- mostly artists. (And there are plenty of folks that exist on Patreon for backing that are likely going to Quip things that feel more like being on Twitter or BlueSky.) 🤔
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Jordan. Of the 200+ creators testing these features, we have creators of all kinds using Quips, from podcasters, water color painters, Dungeons & Dragons map builders, scientists, and so much more. The diversity and breadth of creative work and creative fields represented within individual creator pages and posts will be showcased through these new tools, too! We hope you signed up on the waitlist, we can't wait to see how you'll Quip!
Thank you, Katy, for being a part of the beta! We couldn’t have done it without you, literally!!
Thank you, Jack! So excited to keep growing in this amazing space!
These features have been AMAZING so far! I'm beyond honored to have had the opportunity to test out these new tools, and, oh my goodness, they are truly transformative! Thank you so much to Jack and all the Patreon team for their incredible work on this!
I'm skeptical about this, but at least "quips" are a better term than "skeets."
Is this the correct link? 🤔
Which link?
That looks amazing!
Exciting!
Thanks for sharing Jack.I only have 3 subscribers and i have a long way to go.
Unbelievably excited for this!
OoOOOooo this rocks
Awesome 👏 so excited
Amazing… Can’t wait… Waitlist joined 📈📈📈
Good on you guys, this is awesome :)
Cool. But all I wanted was a way to track member downloads. Can we get better statistics?
Good idea, will it be a little like substack (the reshares and the notes)?
This is so good! Love you Jack for CARING and doing something about what you see!!!! Also... I'd LOOOOOVE a transcript of this vid!!
Actually that’s kinda dope. I fw Patreon and it’s kept me afloat during my content journey. Can’t wait to give back one day when I hit 1 million subs lol
Hi negative Nancy here. Sorry to bring down the good vibes but My question is: why is memberships not the default tab? Even the most algorithmic social medias put intentional follow feeds first and let discovery be the second option.
I mean, I feel like that’s slightly with caveats these days. Your FB home feed is filled with ads and random crap.. 🪦
The collab feature is so awesome! Really excited about these changes!
Hardest part of patreon is letting people know about it. This is what YouTube was for. But people unsubscribe when I tell them about patreon. It’s great that patreon finally added video uploads. This lets me get away from YouTube.
😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 Eu estou divulgando gratuitamente porque, meu registro de vendas não vende nada e, a empresa responsavél criou este sistema exatamente como um metôdo quê simúla a escravidão!! Eu estou com problemas de saúde e, venho tentando mostrar quê, eu não soubum VAGABUNDO ou, um IMPRESTÁVEL!! Mas, é impssível pois, estou divulgando de duas empresas varejistas em 11 sistemas de redes SÓCIAIS e, não vende!!
Thank you
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Huh? Dm me directly please
It is refreshing to see a company acknowledge negative comments and then actually do something about them. Nice work!👍
