Just no, let's agree to disagree on this one to put it mildly.It's like saying fraudulent sellers on Ebay are not the problem, just the stupid, naive buyers who transfer money to them
As you can see, the market doesn't regulate itself, it's a myth.
I also understand why Patreon, Subscribestar and other platforms are not introducing pay per build because of greed for profit.
Action needs to be taken and fraud need to be dealt preventively.
Patreon & SubStar need some security measures against scam.
Of course you can say "if people let themselves be fooled, it's there own fault".
That's irresponsible not everyone is skeptical like you & and many are naive.
This saying was also used for loot boxes, ultimate team and gambling which are now finally illegal in some parts of europe atleast.
I don't know what you mean by " the market selfregulating is a myth", as far as I know it does and always has.. Are you referring to people who claims they're being scammed/milked and still continue to pay in naive hope for change?? If so, no! The market is not responsible for the incompetence of it's participants.. If you're referring to something else, please enlighten me..
I don't really see your ebay/patreon comparison either to be honest.. a "one and done" service and a "monthly contribution" isn't really comparable. But too your point; yes even on ebay/amazon etc you as a buyer should protect your own interest and do your DDs before buying.. anything less would be stupid.
On the other hand paypal is a great toll for stupid/naive people since their buyers protecting is excellent.
Claiming "irresposibilty" on my or other parts behalf implies we're responsible for other people's actions to begin with, which is just ludacris.
As a footnote Patreon has the "pay per creation" option but for obvious reasons most creators don't use it.
