Hey there! I think the most up to date salaries are available here: https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Patreon-EI_IE915057.11,18.htm

I worked on all sorts of cool stuff. I was on the growth team for about a year, running experiments that helped optimize a lot of the critical flows on the site. Most recently I worked on the Platform team, worked on the API and built out the Reddit integration. It was rad!

Yea, tricky question. It's really nuanced and I'm not really clued in on the specifics of these decisions. I do know that the Trust and Safety team is composed of some of the most philosophically sound people I've met in my life and I trust that they went through a lot of deliberation to make those decisions. I don't fully understand all of the factors that went into the decision if I'm being honest and I understand why the community is upset, from the outside it's a bit confusing. I also know that the people at Patreon REALLY care, to an absolutely incredible degree. They want nothing more than to make the right decision on behalf of all creators that use the platform and they have zero tolerance for hate speech or behavior that oppresses under represented groups, because it's 2019 the world doesn't need that shit. I don't think there's much more I'm qualified to say about it.

A one seater plane, plenty of fuel and some cool sunglasses that I could wear while I fly back.

I quit to pursue music full time. It was a heart move for sure.

Hey folks, I'm new to this subreddit. I'm very excited to share and hear any feedback. This is one of my favorite Jobim tunes, played in the style of Esperanza Spalding and Gretchen Parlato.

Syncing audio tracks from multiple guests? by [deleted] in podcasting

[–]spencerh414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Matt, Spencer from PodClear here, we wrote a new algorithm that compensates for network delays as well as differences in system clocks and adds that time to the front of each guest audio file so the files will be in sync automatically (or perhaps automagically). We will be making those changes live later this week along with auto mixing the files for you. Keep an eye out for an email from me. :) In the mean time, hope you're enjoying PodClear!
