That is too bad you have come across similar situation with Patreon. I know of a better source that works better then Patreon.
look up BitBacker
www.bitbacker.io
Its a crypto based pledge site . but way better, free of censorship
plus they only take 1% of the donation vs patreon takes 30%
and way more easier to use, look them up, and find the amazing things. thanks
