  1. Every social masturbator I ever encountered thinks he’s an arteest of some description.
    Unfathomably, they always want the working taxpayer to subsidise their lifestyles with much money. The unfathomable bit is they have no shame about that.
    Something to do with the arts going bust? Excellent.

  2. Good.

    Well, they’re not going to go out of business, but this will force a cash crunch that will make them vulnerable to a takeover, and maybe cooler, wiser heads will take control of the company and run it like a business instead of somebody’s soapbox.

    S.230 is vital to keeping the Internet free, and yes, that means conservatives are going to have to get used to other people exercising their right not to let you use their computer. That doesn’t mean there aren’t a myriad of ways you can bring companies like Patreon to heel. Most of these Silicon Valley wunderkind have absolutely no idea of their legal liabilities.

      1. I mention Tommy Robinson because he wasn’t mentioned, and was the first of the ones hurt severely by those Patreon bastards. They literally cut off his livelihood.
        I am very well aware that there are far more people affected by this, and that it is only really beginning thank you.
        Take you victories where you can get them.

  3. This one hurts them, but it is small potatoes.
    The real pain comes when the people who quit Patreon (and therefore still have the old terms of service apply) come out of the woodwork from Sargon, Milo, Lauren Southern and others. Those hundreds of mediations become thousands of mediations.
    Sargon or Milo fans alone can end Patreon. As one lawyer pointed out, they have to pay the mediation fees promptly or suffer further financial penalties as well as being in default on the mediation. Their business model would both allow and require them to take that money out of cash on hand, even if that money was supposed to go to creators. Once money donated to creators get redirected, nobody will donate or raise funds through Patreon.

    No idea what Milo has to say, but Sargon has said if his supporters wanted to join in, he would do nothing to discourage them.

  4. Is there anything there? A screen launches, but there’s no sound or video except a list of names “joining”.

  5. been following a bit of that Patreon stuff at Vox Day. . Not sure sure i care very much.
