Very excited to hear that @SamHarrisOrg showed the courage to delete his Patreon yesterday, and that @RubinReport and @jordanbpeterson are actively working on an alternative platform.

Patreon is behaving as though it has a monopoly. It doesn't.
Patreon has a first-mover advantage and strong name recognition.

But it does not have a real competitive moat. The service it provides can be replicated by others.

Their only hope is that payment processors will shut down their competition (as they did with SubscribeStar)
But if they do it with a Harris/Peterson platform, they'll be picking a fight with two of the biggest public intellectuals in the world.

That's a fight we WANT. If the payment processors are going to collude to stifle speech, let them do it to our most popular intellectuals.
This is a fight the whole world will watch, where we will have the obvious high ground.

If the payment processors still insist on blocking us, the demand for meaningful legislation/regulation will skyrocket.

We WANT Harris/Peterson to be the face of this fight.
