Your Billing Was Just Paused -- Don't Panic
Added 2021-09-28 20:31:56 +0000 UTC
Sorry for the multiple administrative posts this week -- you guys will have a full-blown fresh patrons-only podcast episode by end of the day Thursday at the latest.
A quick announcement: Usually, you'd all be getting billed this coming Friday, October 1 for October's content. I've just paused your billing, so this time around you won't be charged anything. We'll be able to explain why very soon -- by the end of next week at the latest -- but for now, just know that there is nothing to fear and there is only good news (and a lot more episodes of Blocked and Reported) ahead. Even though you're not going to get billed, you won't lose access to anything on Patreon.
I'm sending this note so you guys will know to expect this and that there's no need to check on your account's status or anything. More soon! -Jesse (and Katie)

I hope it involves moving to a new platform with a better comment editor.

2021-09-30 16:14:56 +0000 UTCY'all missing the obvious. Jesse's girlfriend fell on him. So sad
2021-09-30 15:48:06 +0000 UTCAfter The Announcement, the path forward will be clear, but yes, hold off on the request for now, please. -Jesse
2021-09-30 14:17:18 +0000 UTCI fucking knew it. First you pulled enough subscribers to attract propositions from platforms and now you are going to go over to Gab for some fucking measly money. Fuck this shit!
2021-09-30 05:41:02 +0000 UTCI’m fine with whatever as long as you don’t join locals.com

2021-09-29 18:25:15 +0000 UTCQuestion, I just upgraded to the Permabanned tier in order to score a monthly shoutout. I hadn't requested my shoutout yet because I was waiting for the next billing cycle...so do I need to wait until the billing stuff is resolved, or can I request one now? Thx!
2021-09-29 16:13:58 +0000 UTCThis is becoming the LuLaRich of podcasts! 😂
2021-09-29 11:57:57 +0000 UTCJeez, guys, I'm on tenterhooks here!

2021-09-29 07:22:22 +0000 UTCWell... I mean, I did do a survey for Spotify the other day about other things I pay for (only this and Bari Weiss' substack) and told them I'd pay more for their services with extra content. I know my opinion is very important (why else would they ask me for it?)...so, maybe...
2021-09-29 07:17:58 +0000 UTCWait. WTF! Was I paying for this?

2021-09-29 07:14:51 +0000 UTCI feel triggered. Trigged to spend that money on a fancy coffee. ☕
2021-09-29 03:59:39 +0000 UTCI sure hope so. Now we patrons can shift from writing here to writing fake help me questions to them.
2021-09-29 03:53:10 +0000 UTCAllahu AkBAR Pod?
2021-09-29 03:40:55 +0000 UTC...Whaddya mean, "next"? Ya'll don't have the "nuptual" tattoo? You got robes?!?!

2021-09-29 01:25:25 +0000 UTCSaid it all along, it’s a cult like NXIVM or Scientology: they’ve lured us in and made us reliant on them. Next we’ll all be in matching robes and “married” to Jessie and/or Katie with BARPod branded on our arses.
2021-09-29 00:52:55 +0000 UTCShut up and take my money!
2021-09-28 23:54:31 +0000 UTCBy jove, what a mystery, the game is truly afoot!
2021-09-28 23:17:20 +0000 UTCAlternatively, P. J. and Sruthi are finally going to finish that series on Bon Appetit.
Manuel Fernandez
2021-09-28 22:10:12 +0000 UTCHow dare you not take my money. I'll just have to set it alight instead I guess.
2021-09-28 21:50:43 +0000 UTCI demand to pay!
George
2021-09-28 21:37:29 +0000 UTCYou guys are the best. Helping us find love, offering us work, saving us money. Is there anything BARPOD can’t do?

2021-09-28 21:33:23 +0000 UTCI demand to be charged more for my convenience.
2021-09-28 21:10:51 +0000 UTCSpotify gave you $100M.
2021-09-28 20:53:08 +0000 UTCClearly they're leaving to go be Slate's new advice columnists.
2021-09-28 20:51:01 +0000 UTCHas Jew-Z’s rap career taken off to the point that the podcast is now fully paid for? Has Katie’s wish come true and after a woke purge, BAR is now in fact the ONLY podcast left? Is the next episode just 2 hrs of BAR pod personals? Tune in next time to Blocked and Reported Z!
2021-09-28 20:47:50 +0000 UTCMy bet: They're leaving Patreon to go to another platform
2021-09-28 20:45:41 +0000 UTCYou mean Hannah Nikole Jones
2021-09-28 20:43:54 +0000 UTCI can't believe how invested I am in this. Swettin'.
2021-09-28 20:43:05 +0000 UTCNothing to worry about on this front. -Jesse
2021-09-28 20:40:01 +0000 UTCIf you aren't going to buy Spotify could you at least buy Gawker so you can fix that website?
2021-09-28 20:38:54 +0000 UTCKatie and Jesse will be stepping back from host duties to focus on producing and will be replaced by James Lindsay and Nikole-Hannah Jones.
2021-09-28 20:38:35 +0000 UTCReally hoping this doesn't mean y'all found some alternative source of income. B&R is one of those things that's made better by being funded by the listeners since there's no competing motives for you to do your thing. That said, I remain cautiously optimistic about good news!

2021-09-28 20:38:21 +0000 UTCGenerally, when someone says "don't panic," it's a good time to panic. :-)
2021-09-28 20:37:20 +0000 UTCI really hope BarPod Corp, Inc, LLC, finally pulled the trigger and acquired Spotify.
2021-09-28 20:37:06 +0000 UTCThe lawyers finally caught up to B&R for its acts of dating ad arbitrage. Thank goodness you hadn’t implemented equine confidentials yet.

2021-09-28 20:36:05 +0000 UTCNothing is free.
2021-09-28 20:34:42 +0000 UTCBlocked and Reported/Habibi Bros collab when?
2021-09-28 20:33:53 +0000 UTCLiterally almost died reading this. Y’all are committing literal violence
2021-09-28 20:33:38 +0000 UTCOooooohhhhh…suspense is killing me.
