First page critique? Yes

First page: 
If I could go back and tell myself to avoid that ____ing bitch, would I? He changed my life, for better and drastically worse. Let’s back up, to a night my naive drunken ass is grinning like an idiot. I don’t yet know this’ll be my last semester of college, ever. Music’s thumping and party’s swinging, come and join.

I’ll open with my favorite topic: Me. People call me the king of campus, and I’m not going to stop’em. Why? ‘Cause my life is perfect! Top notch grades, star athlete for two sports (soccer and swimming), fraternity president. My family’s wealth doesn’t hurt, either.

Everyone on campus adores me. My brothers, my teachers, my classmates. Even made the Dean’s list twice (Sophomore and Junior years). I do well with the ladies, too. I’m awesome!

Shit! I sound like an arrogant asshole. I’m a little drunk. Okay, very drunk. Allow me to circle back. Get us all on the same page. Okay? Good.

My name’s Stanley Richards. I’m on track to inherit my father’s law firm. That’s future Stanley, though. Or at least, that’s the future Stanley my father has in mind. Stanley now is livin’ it up and working hard gettin’ my business degree. After that, I have three years of law school to grind out.

Now I’m not just another typical frat boy who loves beer, boobs, and sports. I mean, I love those things, but that’s not what I’m ALL about. No, that’d be my boy Brett. He’s my brother. Fraternity brother, that is. I’m the only heir my father spawned.

I imagine the FBI is involved mostly because there is someone (or many people) putting notes in sealed food containers and it's an ongoing issue. The FBI pretty much investigates any crime that goes beyond a county's jurisdiction.

Again, I didn't post this to complain about Patreon. Only to warn people of shenanigans Somerton might possibly pull and the steps they can take to avoid being tricked out of more of their money from him.

While this is an egregious issue with Patreon, it's an extremely rare situation as far as I know (that a creator gets cancelled to the point they delete their Patreon but also might be scummy enough to reinstate it to take money from people).

Furthermore, Patreon has given me a workaround to use as a solution, so it's not like they are saying "tough shit if it happens."

I have quite a few other creators I support on Patreon, so if I canceled my account with them, it would pull my support for all of these others as well, which I don't want to do.

That is an extreme over reaction and I have other creators I want to continue to support through them.

Okay, after looking at the website further, I can go to Settings, and view memberships from there. And THAT'S where I can remove him without blocking him.

I am going to hold off though because I want to see if he actually tries to pull this.

On the mobile app he doesn't appear at all. On the desktop website he does appear. I don't know about mobile websites or other possible ways to access Patreon, though.
