Quite a problem, yes.
They're trying to stay on the nice side of credit card and other financial companies so porn, speech that takes on controversial/flame/political/religious topics, being a dick or unsavory person, doing illegal things in $COUNTRY will get you banned from the platform. It's understandable from a staying in business point of view but it can feel hypocritical, heavy handed and disingenuous when you hear the CEO speaking about it and explaining the company's actions to users. He won't own up to what they're doing, which would allow people at least be able to empathize with him.
I don't use the platform and I don't support anyone on Patreon. Unless I've made a mistake explaining the situation I'd prefer not to expand this thread. It's serious flamebait.
- throwawaymath 8y agoInteresting. That's not directly relevant to me but I was considering Patreon for a project, so this is at least good to know. Thanks for the explanation.
- dogma1138 8y agoIt is because there might be a pretty big overlap of patrons between you and someone who will get banned which like now would result in people stopping donating through Patreon because a creator they donated to was deplatofrmed which affects multiple channels.
