- chickenpotpie 4y agoAgreed. This and the recent controversy around the HyperSocial CEO posting an emotional layoff post on LinkedIn makes me wonder if the new trend in layoffs is to try to make us relate more with the CEO than the laid off employees and take some heat off them.
- indy 4y agoWait a little longer and they'll be announced on TikTok
- ilrwbwrkhv 4y agoBecause companies like Patreon come and go. They know it, we know it. So they grasp at straws for a fleeting moment of popularity.
- gobirds321 4y agoI think it was first posted on their blog here: https://blog.patreon.com/a-note-from-jack https://blog.patreon.com/a-note-from-jack
- mike_d 4y agoAre we supposed to know who Jack is? Sounds like someone is in serious need of an ego check.
- zimpenfish 4y ago> Are we supposed to know who Jack is? I should imagine the people that blog post is relevant to know who he is, yes.
- egypturnash 4y agoPatreon's creator and CEO.
- Shebanator 4y agoAFAICT, he told the team separately, and is just using IG to announce publicly. I don't see how that is any worse than the usual dry press release.

- throwawaymaths 4y agoThis is legitimate feeling, maybe because not all your employees might have Instagram. We can't assume it wasn't also done on internal channels, though?
- unity1001 4y agoAsk the person who posted the Instagram post at HN instead of the Patreon's official blog's post.
- nonethewiser 4y agoIts because Instagram is for self promotion.
