Remember that poll did where creators could vote for a variety of features?
At the bottom of the barrel were crypto currencies, still a hot topic at the time of the poll. was the only feature that received an overwhelming amount of "please don't" votes. No other feature even had double digits of "please don't". But guess what Patreon still offers anyway:

This is not news by any means, the poll ran last year. I just saw the screenshot again.

@AimeeMaroux hmmm, for what purposes might that small number think crypto is "crucial" to their business...🤔

@jbenjamint To be fair, I think some just saw crypto as something important for the future at the time but the rest... well, I have no idea.

People who run adult patreons will likely be among them. Since basically all traditional payment processors have clauses banning that.

@shobe @jbenjamint The "adult patreons" are already banned. I know Pornhub had to rely on crypto when payment processors refused to work with them but this is not the first choice.

@AimeeMaroux that's because is a not a [ or ] and are explicitly nobody's friend!

@kkarhan I have no illusions to the contrary. But it's funny how they basically pulled a BoatyMcBoatface.
