They used Patreon, that was their first mistake.

"Such-and-such was banned from Twitter/Youtube/Other-service-known-for-banning-the-right..."

The least they could do in that situation is use Alt Tech in addition to Big Tech. It is understandable trying to network yourself in that manner if you're trying to build up a following for your personal brand.

Pure idiocy not to at least have an account in every similar service.

I like Sydney, I hope that she finds a way to keep her YouTube channel up and running.

What I don’t understand-

If you support these two people - wouldn’t you be prepared to follow them to another site?

(like subscribestar or some bespoke alternative like the darkhorse podcast did)

He should have had an account in every option available from the beginning, and advertise them all in his website or whatever. It's incompetent not to do that nowadays.

Asked Patreon why they decided to ban me. They didn't answer. They note here they take into consideration everything you do outside their platform. This is batshit. This platform can hold your money hostage if they don't agree with what you do everywhere else. Insanity.
