It's not just that OP didn't mention any financial dimension to their decision. Both they, and many other people in this thread, mentioned active non-financial reasons for canceling their subscriptions - the emotional feelings of annoyance of not getting what they were paying for, because it's a business transaction and you need to get what you pay for and get your money's worth or you've been wronged. In fact, that's what practically every post in the thread that's supporting OP says, including the one that I was initially replying to in starting this thread. They say a Patreon is a contract, the artist has an obligation to deliver on the contract, if they don't deliver on the exact terms of that contract you have a right to feel emotionally frustrated, and that's a good justification for canceling your subscription. So I think that there is a point of view that people have where they object to this for reasons that aren't basically financial.

And I think that specific point of view is assholish. I don't think that A Contract's A Contract, I think you should have some human consideration for the person on the other end of the deal if you're able to, and caring more about your emotional feelings that someone's taken advantage of you is a bad but unfortunately common way to look at human interactions.

What bizarre alternate universe do you live in where "I've given you money in exchange for [thing], you repeatedly haven't delivered [thing], and I now have neither the money I gave you nor the thing you promised" isn't basically financial? The vast majority of humans do not have infinite money. Anything amount spent on one thing cannot be spent on any other thing. That's the entire reason that someone not delivering after you pay them is really fucking annoying.
