Title. One tier has only 1 member (intentionally, I wanted people to unsub) Is that me or someone else?

I have read the guidelines like 50th times now and even asked friends about it and I am still not sure how to understand the rules around this topic.

Are characters from animes that are not 18 in the series allowed to pe postet on patreon or not? Obviously NOT in their original context. Only as a fully aged up mature person with a clearly mature body.

Does anyone know how to find their user/Patreon ID? It should be a series of numbers.

Another website said that it can be found in the embed widget, but I can’t find that either…

I just spent about 4 hours trying to figure out why I had a gradient on my header and how to possibly change it. The only thing I found during research was that this was the new look and you couldn't change it. I just wanted to verify this was the case?

I find it absolutely ugly and I am so frustrated. It's turning the left side of my image doo doo brown.

I imagine the only thing I could do is add something to the left side of the image. It's just that the brown or gradient is so intrusive it's just pushing so far to the right end of my logo.

EDIT... Support responded:

To confirm, the gradient effect on the header is currently applied automatically by the system and cannot be manually adjusted or removed at this time. The color selection is generated based on the header image itself, so creators don’t currently have direct control over how that gradient appears. 
 
I understand your concern about the gradient changing the appearance of your image, especially if it’s creating discoloration or interfering with your logo placement. To clarify, adding additional spacing or visual elements to the left side of the image will not make the gradient go away.

I’m looking for suggestions for a third-party video hosting service to use with Patreon. Patreon doesn’t allow adult creators to use their built-in video feature, so I need something that can:

1. Allow legal 18+ NSFW content
2. Embed/play videos on Patreon posts
3. Work properly on both PC and mobile (a lot of hosts don’t play on mobile, they just redirect you to patreon website)
4. Keep videos restricted to paying patrons only

I’ve looked into services like Cloudflare Stream and Bunny Stream, but I’m unsure about Patreon app compatibility and whether embeds will actually work reliably or if they just redirect you to the Patreon website..
Does anyone here use a setup like this? What service do you recommend?

?? 😂
Okay so I have a completely separate patreon account I use to support other creators and my account AS the creator. I didn’t want to do the whole merged profile thing. So sometimes I’ll view my “creator account” with my “personal account” just to make sure it looks right to other people viewing my page.

I go on my creator page today (with the personal account) and it’s offering a 60% discount to join?? I never set up or authorized any discount? WTF?

Update about my Patreon. I listened to ya'll comments, I read all of them and thought about it. Not only I realize Patreon is not for me at all, but it turns out I was right about multiple things:

-My content is objectively shit, which is something I was right about THIS WHOLE TIME since 2023.

-I clearly don't understand how Patreon works.

-Ain't nobody wasting money to look at a stickman looking, over-saturated, anime wannabe art style.

-I really thought I was gonna make it big one day

And as expected, I was wrong about everything else.

So, it's official: I give up....for the 2nd time. I just don't have what it takes and I keep forgetting that I'm very incompetent, not a genius, so I was screwed from the very start. anyway

Don't feel bad for me, I'm not guilt-tripping anyone, this is supposed to be funny and transparent. I am a fool and I'm realizing it, you are not to blame for it, neither is Patreon itself. That's on me. You guys made me open my eyes and see the actual truth, so thank you very much for that. Really.

What am I going to do now? I have no idea. Honestly, I'm just gonna stick to r/BadArt and DeviantArt.

It is what it is, thanks again for your help.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't get it. For 2 years at this point, I've been trying to grow my Patreon and get a following. My memberships are affordable, I'm relativity active, and I'm even promoting my Patreon a lot more now, but not a single paid membership at all. On the plus side, after 2 and a half years of trying, I have SOME following. But it's only 4. What am I doing wrong?

My first tier is $1 and my second tier is $3. I'm working on a third tier, which will be $2. I keep it super affordable to attract more customers. I already know how much people hate spending money these days, so I'm trying to not drown their wallets.

Could it also just be my content?

On my page settings there's only option to hide or show your total both paid and free members altogether, no option to hide the paid members only,i want my total members to be shown but hide the paid members numbers, is this possible? Maybe on the new Patreon design you can do this? I'm still using the old and not sure if its worth it to migrate to new one since they said it can't be undone​​

Hey everyone,

My Patreon account got disabled right when I was at checkout trying to subscribe to a creator. I received an email saying it was due to “suspicious activity” and they asked me to provide verification details.

I sent all the requested information the next day, but it’s now been over 10 days and I haven’t received any response at all.

I’ve already followed up once and still nothing. At this point I just want to get my account back or at least get an update, since I’m missing out on supporting a project I was really interested in.

Has anyone else experienced this? How long does it take for them to reply?

I'm the type who wants my patrons to feel that they're getting a good value for their subscription, so aside from sharing full-res/uncompressed versions of my art, I also like to share a lot of WIPs as a reward for each tier.

I don't want my patrons to be fatigued by how often I post.

Hello guys,

Today i tried to buy brushes from an artist that i liked, so i went ahead and paid for it, and just after confirming it with the bank, the site open a really annoying pop up of the site and doesnt even register the fact that i paid AFTER TAKING MY MONEY, it was 4 dollars so i tried 3 times because it wasn't that bad but it still didn't work.

And then after looking at my bank i was charged 6 TIMES instead of 3 and i still didn't get my brushes it's outrageous.

Any solutions ? I already contacted the support but they haven't answered yet. I wanted to know if it was a common occurence.

(PS: here's a screenshot of the pop up.)

Hi, I got my NSFW account suspended for nudity on a public post. I did read the community guideline.

In my defense, I just thought that as long as there weren't any genital showing, then it was ok. Now I know to not take any chance at all, lol.

I just want to know if it happened to someone else and if it's normal to lose in monthly earnings instantly during that process? (example: to go from 600$ monthly to 200$ that same day)

Thank you

Hi,

i know this is the unofficial Patreon sub but maybe one of you guys has an idea to my problem.

My Patreon account is a couple of years old and i have a handful ongoing subscriptions (following other creators).

But i was never a content creator myself nor can i remember actually activating something in the likes.

Yet Patreon is asking or rather forcing me to merge my account; at this point i can only abort the merging-process or continue until the question about what content i provide (none!).

Meaning i'm stuck in a loop.

Any ideas or help would be more than welcome!

I've been thinking about opening a Patreon since most people seem to go there for exclusive content. However, I don't understand their TOS around nsfw because Smutbase (3D model website) has changed their rules to not allow sexual nudity/nsfw so they appeal to Patreon's rules (I believe it's cuz you can connect your Patreon to your Smutbase profile?)

In short, could someone explain to me Patreon's nsfw rules? I just don't understand them

Also, if Patreon does allow such content, I'd appreciate some tips on building a following on there.

Thanks!

I don't actually make money through Patreon: I TRIED a few years ago, when I was publishing online stories, but no one took the bait and I eventually stopped bothering.

I DID subscribe to a single patron, who does fiction I like. I just tried to go to her page, and I get told that my account is locked and I need to combine profiles to continue.

I don't know what that means, nor why I need to do it.
