Also, I'm going to reply to my own comment to point out a quote from that patreonhq.com post (by Jack Conte, a co-founder):
I want Patreon to be different. I want creators to feel understood by Patreon.

- reitanqild 9y agoNot sure. I'm not too much into it I just find the ads hilarious. For what I know it might be a similar agreement as the one Mozilla uses but I don’t know.
