[Solved] How do I unfollow a creator on Patreon?
I remember that it was possible at one point but now I don't seem to be able to find the option to do so.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
And I don't mean cancelling the membership.
Solution: At some point Patreon turned all "Followers" (there used to be an option under the creator name in the 3 dots menu to "follow" someone) into "Free Tier Memberships". On the website you can't see these "Free Tier Memberships" under Settings->Memberships. You have to go to each creator you have in your list on the left, go to the membership tab and click on the pencil icon to edit your membership, where you can cancel it.
In the app this whole thing is much easier as you get to see all your memberships including the "Free Tier Memberships" under the memberships point when clicking on your profile. From there you can click on every creator, then on the 3 dots menu in the top right, select "Your membership" and there you can cancel the membership.
I have no idea why this has to be so convoluted.
Edit: Oh and if the creator doesn't exist anymore you need to block and unblock them again to remove them from your list because you can't cancel a membership of a creator that doesn't exist anymore.

I can't find any "following" anything in my Pateron, and to the best of my understanding it's not an option. Where do you see this?
Are you sure that you're not on a "free member" thing that some creators have?
Yes I'm sure that I'm not on a free member tier of all these creators. There used to be a "follow" option for creators.
Edit: I just looked in the app. Apparently the website is not updated or something because when I go to memberships on the website I only see the two creators I actually pay something every month and no one else. In the app I can see every creator I "followed" in the past which got turned into a "free member" or something. But that doesn't show on the website only in the app.
Ah, interesting. I don't use the app at all, so that explains my confusion.
I figured it out now and added the solution to the post in case other people were wondering the same thing.
