1. Patreon screws up and betrays everyone's trust, people abandon it in droves.
2. Patreon rolls it back and promises they won't do it again. Some people fall for this and return.
3. Patreon doubles down on the screw-up with an even more dubious promise that if folks join now they might not get screwed later.
4. Suddenly everyone's tripping over their own tails to take the bait early.
I ask: How does this make any sense? What bit of logic am I just not seeing here?
