I have a friend, who has a really high paying job. This friend, supports over 50 artists on patreon.

He has told me some pretty alarming things from being on Patreon for so long as a supporter, such as:

1. Rewards that only allow Early Access are not appealing to Patrons anymore, even at $1 because all they need to do to see it later is just wait
2. Bot Patrons leak exclusive material to Share Sites using fake accounts, so people want the free leaked stuff more then anything
3. Patrons will never pay for anything unless they get "personal rewards", something they feel is worth their amount they give
4. Even more so dangerous then anything, is Bot Accounts can claim on artists "Fake refunds". If they want a refund on say a $10 charge, they can claim a refund beforehand and get that money from you, even though they never paid a single dime. So not only did you not get your money from that Patron, that Patron took money from you instead; that amount becoming stolen instead, as this is becoming a huge problem on Patreon and scaring away people from using the service.

Those are just 4 reasons I believe should be shared, and there could be more reasons as to why your not getting Patrons.

Patreon is hard and it does work for a lot of artists, but that's only because they treat it as a Full-Time job and have time themselves to offer better rewards that really draw people in.

I hope you find this helpful.

So, should I just close down my Patreon account?
I knew a LOT of art get illegally distributed around the internet. (Which I thank God my art hasn't been that yet.) Also that the internet is not a very safe place to do that stuff at all.

Thanks so much for giving me this info.

Your welcome.

But I don't make business decisions for other people what they should or shouldn't do.

That's gonna have to be your own call.
