Paid-member counts are public on each creator's Patreon page. Trends use dated observations without filling gaps; fewer than 3 observations means no chart. Changes describe observations, not causes of growth. ≈ marks an estimated pace: we compare two public snapshots 25 to 26 days apart and scale the change to 30 days.
