> I have to seriously laugh at the idea of comparing Oscar Wilde, a gay dandy in Victorian England to the few racists that patreon has thrown off its platform. The point is that one was vilified just like the "few 'racists' that patreon has thrown off its platform". Funnily enough Oscar Wilde himself was probably racist too. > Either way I'm not really sure where the death talk is coming from because patreon seems to be doing fine. It's in the tweets. "Anyway, the first sets of VCs have likely been paid off for their efforts (hence the ever-growing rounds) and the new move into "Business Loans, but for Morons" that Patreon is trying is all an attempt to pay back a line of credit they never will." But I agree that patreon should be fine as long as they don't face a viable competitor.
