I get your point that most businesses are closed but I didn't know it was mandatory or required triple pay. Is that true? Disneyland is open on Christmas. Most movie theaters are open on Christmas. I think most convenience stores, many groceries stores, and most gas stations are open on Christmas.

It seems OP also missed this gem: > This suspension came between 18 and 47 days ago based on my missed payouts. No review has taken place in that time... Patreon has had weeks to do this review, yet they haven't communicated or done anything.

  True. But he just tweeted today, and it quickly hit HN front page.

    I agree with your basic point about not grabbing the pitchforks out just yet, but wouldn't it be nice if online businesses had to be accountable in a reasonable timeframe to all of their customers (especially when it comes to handling money that is due to the customer) and not just people who happen to have large twitter followings?

      Well, I actually would expect someone to be checking Twitter and HN ;) But maybe they've given up paying attention, given the other stuff going on. Or maybe overwhelmed and frustrated.

  It’s really amazing to me how many people can’t be bothered to spend 5 min on learning the basics of their country’s labor laws.

      That's a specific union contract requirement from the involved union local’s website, not general labor law.

        If you don’t consider union contracts as part of labor law, you’re in for a world of surprise when you encounter your first unionized workforce.

        Adhering to whatever union contract is applicable is a requirement of labor law, but the contents of a particular union contract don't establish a claim about what is required under generally-applicable labor law.
