Patreon shouldn't have any more than half a dozen employees. But alas, they joined the VC exit cult.

This always gets said, have you ever looked at all the documentation and helpful materials they’ve put out?

If they just wanted to be a payment processing platform they would just be a payment processing platform.

Instead it’s guidance and education to help content creators create more and learn more.

Documentation doesn’t take 300 employees either.

Pretty sure onlyfans is basically run by one guy out of London and maybe a handful of contractor support staff for essentially the same business.
