I guess Patreon has reached that size and clout where it can accidentally crush whole lives via careless mistakes.

  With size often comes excessive automation, which could be the cause: something being flagged by an algorithm and dealt with by another algorithm before a human can actually see what's happening.

    I have to be honest, "an algorithm did it" is a pretty poor excuse, and it gets harder and harder to swallow. People need to take responsibility for the algorithms they create and they need to be ready to step in when they fail.

      Indeed. If a human is going to be affected, a human needs to sign off on it.
