A cable company is a monopoly.
It's extremely easy to create a website, add a PayPal button, and ask your supporters to donate that way. A lot of people have been doing just that after Patreon's recent deplatforms.
Or, there is also SubscribeStar.
Patreon are just a middleman, but their arrogance of thinking they are more and their crazy spending will make them go bankrupt pretty soon.
- zanny 8y agoThey are displaying the same arrogance Google, Facebook, et al show in regards to their platform lock in and market capture mindshare. They expect to get away with a lot of user hostile behavior because they have network effects forcing anyone who wants to use something like those platforms to use their platform because thats where everyone else is.
