Patreon is in the middle of a bad lawsuit(s) of there own making. They have lost there first battle to stop it.
Short story. Patreon without notice booted many providers and there patrons off the platform. The patrons and providers followed suit to go arbitration. Under California law Patreon must upfront all monies law fees/penalties. Patreon then changed the TOS to disallow the arbitration request. The providers/patrons sued under TOS at the time of booted providers. There basis (Patreon) in front of the judge, "If this goes through we will be out of business." Judge sided with the providers and patrons. Patreon lost the first battle. The arbitration suit is proceeding.
This video can explain it better on the legal side of things. (abet: Viva Frei is a Canadian lawyer. He is on top of it.)

P.S. (why leave?)
Where do you think Patreon is going to get the millions to upfront? Simply from all the other Patreon providers.
If you have monies coming to you from Patreon, get it now and then get out. You will not see this from regular news channels, this is not a conspiracy. It is all traceable and factual based. I wish for all the translation groups to not lose from bad decisions of Patreon.
@Holo If you feel this is announcement worthy please move it there.
Edit: for clarity, even more clarity
