I would love to see a federal investigation into the claims here. Though, being aware of Patreon's previous activities of policing only one side of the political spectrum, unfairly and unjustifiably banning users despite not breaking TOS, I would not be surprised if it turned out to be true.
I cannot, in good conscience, continue to support such a horrendously corrupt and morally bankrupt corporation. I will be starting a My Mini Factory Tribes account at the end of the month in an attempt to further distance myself from Patreon.
My own subscription service, RC Cult, is currently up and running, available here
https://ritualcasting.com/collections/cult-membership
It functions in much the same way as Patreon but is more than just a paywalled blog. Automatic fulfilment of rewards directly to your inbox, blog posts, work-in-progress updates, a single discount code that is tied to your subscription and automatically updated to give you the highest discount during sales, synchronisation with Discord, it's all there.
I urge everyone to start abandoning Patreon and support your favourite artists elsewhere.
