## Resource

Patreon’s CEO Jack Conte is reimagining the platform as a network of small media businesses, not just a payment tool, to give creators direct control over their audiences and escape the exploitative grip of big tech. Frustrated by how Meta and Google profit from creators’ work without fair compensation, Patreon is building tools like free memberships, native chat, and video hosting to foster genuine fan connections. This pivot responds to the internet’s shift toward algorithm-driven content and the erosion of direct creator-fan relationships, positioning Patreon as a haven for artists seeking ownership, stability, and meaningful engagement — rejecting the “better cigarettes” approach of tinkering with broken systems.
