I had just been listening to the "Talk Python to Me" podcast episode with Albert Sheu of Patreon (http://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/14/moving-from-php-to-pyt...). Having heard the guy's voice and his enthusiasm for his work makes me really feel sorry for the team at Patreon. This is pretty much worst case and may end the company.

Why do you think it'll end the company? It's a marketplace with network effects. And not to mention, many people depend on Patreon for their primary source of income. It won't simply just go away.

I like patreon a lot and feel sorry that they've been breached. Luckily (for them) I'd guess that with the number of breaches these days, the negative publicity on them will be a lot less than it would have been a couple of years back, so hopefully they'll be able to carry on ok.
