I have faith in their ability to screw up a good thing for no reason.

A couple years ago, they tried to change their whole payment system so each subscription was billed individually, racking up more fees for patrons. They kept defending it and finally backed down at the last minute after a ton of their biggest creators yelled at them.

Why on earth would they do that? That kills micro-subscriptions on their platform.

yeah, they were trying to shake off the $1/mo subscribers, they thought they were surplus.

no, I don't understand either.
