The only disappointing thing here is that Patreon is an even more aggressive censor than YouTube, and is very responsive to (progressive) complaints about creators or content. As long as we are entertaining a competitor to YouTube I wish it would be in the hands of an organization that supported free speech.

- robbedpeter 5y agoIt's a "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" scenario. YouTube already has direct donation mechanisms, so patreon isn't really bringing anything new to the table. Patreon is just as beholden to corporate interests and censorship as YouTube. There's enough creators out there for patreon to make money off of people YouTube banned, but this isn't progress for the internet, just business as usual.
