Basically this. So translating from corporate to human they see their business model is stagnating ?
How did you get that? They’re just consolidating their pricing tiers. There was an $8 one and a $12 one, now there is only $10. Smack bang in the middle.
They say they haven’t increased their prices in 6 years. That doesn’t mean their prices have stayed the same, oh no - that means that their prices have decreased over that time due to not keeping up with the massive inflation since then.
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.
