I'm leaving Patreon

I'm leaving Patreon.

My name is Andrij, and I have been creating short science-popularizing videos in Ukrainian language for several years now.

On February twenty-fourth, in the end of the first day of the full-scale invasion of Russian army into Ukraine (and at the same time two thousand eight hundred seventy sixth day of Russian-Ukrainian war altogether), the payment service Patreon has deleted the page of the fund "Save life in Ukraine", also known as "Back and alive" or "Повернись живим", and at an extremely critical moment for Ukraine has blocked two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars donated to the fund. Later, an explanation has come up, that according to the rules of platform Patreon, it is prohibited to collect money with it for purchasing weapons. I believe there is time to follow the rules and time to change the rules. I'm confident that the management board of Patreon had choice at that moment. And it had choice later - but a week has passed by and nothing has changed. Therefore, I'm deleting my Patreon page and replacing links to it with bank details of the account of Armed Forces of Ukraine under each of my videos. If you want to support my channel - please send money there. This will increase chances that more videos in Ukrainian will appear here in the future. And I'll earn money for a new camera on my own.

Glory to Ukraine.
