Ok wait, I am reconsidering this Patreon thing because I searched for a few friends to support and instead found funded Patreon creations personally attacking them.
The sheer quantity of people I know being attacked, combined with the quantity of people getting funded here to make those attacks, puts quite a damper on my excitement about doing capitalism to microwaves.
I don't want to capitalism your money through this site until I research this apparently known issue and figure out what to do about it, so the next microwave video will be posted free.

I've been talking with Jack and his team about this and we're working on it.
There are funded Patreon creations that are attacking other Patreonees? Who's doing this? That's terrible!
Please keep in mind that systems like Patreon are not evil simply because of the evil people do with them. People are jerks inside of most of the great parts of the internet (twitter, youtube, tumblr etc) and it doesn't reflect poorly on the site. Also while I'm sure that Jack and the Patreon crew would be happy to address issues like this (I assume they are simply unaware) they seem to be working full tilt just keeping the site running at the moment.
What?! Please let us know what you find because that is extremely disturbing.
Wait what? People are actually doing this? That seems really... petty. And against the spirit of the whole thing isn't it? Is there anything you/we could do like report them or something?
