Interesting, they're certain that the new service is going to crash and burn. I THINK Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin, dislike them or not, are a bit smarter than your regular internet edgelord, and they're going to drag a lot of people/money with them to this new service. I have no idea if it's going to be successful or not, but I wouldn't be so sure of their failure anyway.
Patreon is the revenue stream for a new type of business model, so whats at stake is as much business reasoning as it is any ideological one.
And to be entirely beholden in terms of what content you can produce as a business to an unelectable and unaccountable individual or group, who can arbitrarily dictate what is and is not permitted literally at a whim is - if nothing else - a
huge business risk.
At least legal restrictions are signposted well in advance, and will have clear legal tests as to whether a product falls under any new legislation - patreon just deciding what is or is not permitted can happen at a moments notice with no prior warning, be instantly rolled out, and has no form of appeals process or transparency.
And what happens if something political that era
does approve of suddenly gets deemed 2 Hot 4 Patreon?
