Patreon loads about 10 or so comments on a post at a time. You have to manually refresh the load button to read the next round. It can take a long time if there is a high number of comments.
Use this chrome extension on Patreon's posts pages to show all comments or export it as a CSV file.
How to use: Right-click on the page.
These options will only be available on the post's page. The path should look something like this patreon.com/posts/...
.

This extension was developed over Discord from idea Gabrielle Motola had in sympathetic response to Amanda Palmer having to load 2000 patron's comments on a post and read them (which took 12 hours). Here is an article about Gabrielle's experience of her Patreon so far and how we collaborated to develop this.
