I need to look into this more. I am a Patreon member paying for a podcast-type service that I truly enjoy. Prior to this service moving to Patreon I had never heard of them.

Now, it seems like they're in the same mold as the Google/Facebook/Twitter fascists.

I'll have to decide if I withdraw my funding for my favorite podcast, or turn a blind eye.

How ‘bout contacting your favorite podcast and telling them that, “ I’d like to continue supporting You, but I refuse to support Patreon. Do you have any other ways to support you? Thanks.”

Exactly what I have done. I'm still waiting for an answer.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

On Peterson’s Facebook page, he just asked the following question:

“A query: any suggestions for names for a competitor to Patreon? Thanks.”

Maybe he’s looking to start his own platform?

In the end Patreon will be stealing money and going out of business.

I don't think for a second that this is the end of Patreon, but at this point, they have to know that they have seriously fucked up.

I question if they will learn anything or if they are going to double down on their mistakes.
