We also want to minimize any impact to your business, which is why prices are not increasing for you or anyone with a published Patreon page that launches on or before August 4th.

If you publish a new Patreon creator page before or on August 4th, you’ll lock in the lower, 8% platform plan.

They wrote that in their message.

So how does that indicate that their business model is stagnating?

I assume new users get lower chance to get high donations. I found this chart today https://graphtreon.com/patreon-stats, not sure how legit it is but it just proves that they are not rapidly growing anymore.

Not growing at an absurd rate doesn’t mean their business model is stagnating.
