It will be interesting to see how their board changes as a result. I think VCs may be trying to get a grip on controlling the content allowed, in addition to the profitability and scaling potential.
If Patreon gets winner-take-all huge, the BoD could literally steer culture by drawing the boundary lines on acceptable content. High amount of intangible value there.
- volkl48 9y agoThere's not a whole lot of reason to limit the content allowed. Most internet sites run into conflicts with content because they're trying to make a profit through ad revenue. Mainstream advertisers don't want their ad next to porn/controversial things, and may not want to advertise on even the non-controversial part of the site if the site is associated with porn/controversial things in the minds of the public. Patreon's business model doesn't really run into that issue.
