Heads up, Patreon users! You might be entitled to some cash from a recent class action settlement. Patreon is accused of sharing user data (specifically your identity and what videos you watched) with Facebook without your consent. Patreon denies any wrongdoing, but they've agreed to pay out $7.25 million to settle the case.

If you had a Patreon account and watched videos while logged into Facebook between April 1, 2016, and September 23, 2024, you're likely eligible. The estimated payout is between $35 and $175, though these things can vary. The deadline to file a claim is January 1, 2025, so don't delay! Even if it's just a small amount, it's free money, and who doesn't love that? These things can sometimes pay out more than expected, so it is worth filing a claim if you are eligible.
