IIRC the patreons were shut down due to supporting extreme rightwingers, weren't they?

So much for "Cancel culture" being a supposedly left-only phenomenon :U.

I really have no info on that so I can't comment on that.

Patreon banned a Right-Wing "comedian" who has been banned off of twitter, youtube, and pretty much everywhere for hate speech. That right-winger got his fans to file 70+ lawsuits with Patreon. Patreon tried to get them dismissed but a california judge said they have to go through with the lawsuits. So basically right-wing assholes are using the courts to game Patreon out of court costs. What a group of nice people, not accepting being banned and lashing out and abusing legal systems.
