Lmaooo c'mon fam :dead:

Comparing a company with over 100 full time employees to a 3 man podcast :mjlol:

:laff: WHO DO YOU THINK JOE BUDDEN IS?!

Fukk it, you start a small pizzeria and you hire two of your buddies but you're the one who has the recipes, you're the one taking on financial risks, you're the one who's putting in the most work in the kitchen, while they get a guaranteed pay check for years. One day, you get an offer from a big corporation to buy you out for millions. Should you have to get consent from your boys before accepting or turning down the deal?

Nope, your decision to make. But I would let them know at least. I wouldn't have them find out while I'm handing a slice to a random customer and making small talk....

"Yeah man, could have got a few M's for this place but turned it down. I don't just make pizza, I'm an artist. Anyway that will be $3.75."

Rory looks up to Joe. He shaved his head and got a beard to look like him. He’s an abused partner with low self-esteem, of course he will be back.

Mal will stand on his square until things get rectified though.
:heh: how? he looked like that before he knew Joe

Patreon Inc., an online platform that connects musicians and other creators with fans, was valued at $4 billion in its latest investment round, more than tripling its value since September as venture capitalists bet on startups that serve content creators.

Patreon said it raised $155 million in the latest round, led by new investor Tiger Global Management, with participation from Woodline Partners and several earlier investors, including Wellington Management, Lone Pine Capital and New Enterprise Associates.

Tiger Global, the New York-based investment firm, has been among the more active tech investors of late. Recent investments include online sneaker reseller StockX LLC, automation software company UiPath Inc., Brazilian real-estate company Loft Holdings Ltd. and U.K. financial-technology startup Checkout Ltd.

The new capital for Patreon comes after the closely held San Francisco company raised $90 million in capital in September, bringing its valuation to more than $1.2 billion.

The Covid-19 pandemic has proven to be a catalyst for the so-called creator economy, which has faced event cancellations, lockdowns and other measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. Online platforms such as Patreon, Baron App Inc.’s Cameo and Fenix International Ltd.’s OnlyFans have emerged among the winners during the pandemic as people looked for entertainment while artists and creators looked for ways to continue their work and make money.

Jack Conte, Patreon’s chief executive and co-founder, said there was already a “changing tide” in the way creators were connecting with their audiences. The pandemic accelerated it. The platform, which has drawn the likes of Grammy-winning guitarist Steve Vai and the True Crime Obsessed podcast, has seen rapid growth in the past year and now has more than 200,000 creators supported by some seven million fans, company officials said.

Patreon, which isn’t profitable at this point, offers three levels of membership for creators and takes a 5% to 12% cut of the monthly income earned, plus a payment processing fee.

As part of an international expansion, Patreon has added several languages and currencies.

In addition to his “side hustle” leading Patreon, Mr. Conte, who founded the company with his Stanford University roommate Sam Yam, is also behind two bands, Pomplamoose and Scary Pockets, which are also on Patreon.

If the first time thru heard was on a live podcast then yeah it's tacky, I'll give you that. My whole thing is technically he doesn't have to let them know shyt cause it's literally none of their business. I just disagree with the notion that "he made them lose millions" from a deal between two entities in which they don't own shares.
