It's always getting fleeced with you guys and being fine with slightly less fleecing, when that is just a way to entice and reach a point where they can monopolize the market and fleece like the big dogs.

And then a new company with slightly less fleecing appears, with board members from previous company.

Rinse and repeat.

    I understand your view and sympathize deeply but there is a lot wrong in the world today and if I have to divert energy somewhere to try and change something, Patreon's 10/90 split is at the bottom of the list for me at the moment. Regular working class people aren't getting that good of a deal at the jobs they work at. I'm not even talking 90/10, just getting their .01% of the profits in a 1000 person org for their contribution would probably be life changing.

    You are right but our frames of reference are different.
