A huge legal mess has developed between Patreon, and
the fans of people it has banned, especially Own Benjamin (not Carl).
The Daily Dot explains the problem before, and Timcast expands in a video.
This is very complicated and I won’t try to resummarize
it. Maybe Hoeg Law will do a video on
this.
One complication is that some fans have been sued. But Patreon might be hit with thousands of
arbitration claims.
This could threaten Patreon and maybe similar
patronage sites and their use as a way to make a living.
I cannot use it because I have inherited assets and
managed a trust, and that links to other problems (“gratuitous speech” and
stochastic risks) that I have talked about before.
Stay tuned on this one. Daily Dot link.
