I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

Hey fellow Patreon creators! There’s currently a survey out about the use of AI and I think it would be pretty neat if you could tell them to eat a bag of rocks and emphasize how bad it is. Thank you patreon.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
