Patreon's censors are killing people's creativity
Well, they had to do it, like
they were forced to do so, long story short:
(this is from unconfirmed sources, take it with a pinch of salt)
Patreon is thinkin' on going into Public Offering, in the near future, so they held a pre IPO whitin he company, and some guys (which were invited by one of the initial investors) representing a private, non-disclosed partner, bought 52% of the available shares, and since they now held majority on the Board of Directors / Shareholders, they decided to
step in and change some rules on the way the site operates, specially since the FBI was doing some investigations, related some
controversial content available on the site, and could land the whole shebang in hot waters
At this point is just rumors and hearsays, but some of it could have solid bases, so most likely, some content on the site was ruled out to be
highly controversial, and they took the
nip in the bud approach and made those changes to freed themselves of some nasty investigation and posibility of being sued for said content
