Misreported here is what more reasonable creators objected to: - Account shutdown without notice - Lack of appeals process until publicity and a wave of de-subscribes hit the platform - Reversal of Conte's promise to only police content directly supported by patrons - Surprise morality stance and language, "reforming" and requiring a "full-throated apology" While one cannot condone Benjamin's behavior, Patreon is not being honest about its mercurial behavior, shifting policies, and repositioning as a scold. So creators who ethically address controversial topics (i.e. not Benjamin) become nervous. I love what Patreon does for creators. But this deeply disturbs me.
