The inevitable Patreon ban
🕑 Added 2018-12-07 22:47:30 +0000 UTC A number of you have messages me about Sargon being kicked off of Patreon, and pointed out that my days are probably numbered, and asked if I have a back-up plan.The answer is ... not really.
All roads lead back to PayPal and Stripe, which are both anti-free speech. I thought the porn processors would be open to working with platforms and content creators, but I've been told that Bitchute listened to me, and approached them ... and they aren't interested. Even the porn payment processors won't offer an alternative to PayPal and Stripe for companies/creators who are being de-platformed.
As I said before, you can't just up and create a payment processor, these companies are HUGE, and require tons of government regulation.
There are Chinese payment processors starting to break into western markets, but the Chinese aren't exactly fans of free speech themselves.
So where does that leave me? Where does that leave anyone?
There is no alternative. I don't even see a potential alternative coming anytime soon. It's too big and expensive to solve ourselves, and all the companies that could have solved it have turned their backs on us. So we are on borrowed time. I'll do this as long as I can, but eventually the bell will toll for me, and it'll be over. It's simply a matter of time.
While I have been able to sustain myself as my Google ad-sense has crashed using Patreon, donations, and sponsors, the loss of Patreon would make me unable to pay my bills. Also if I'm deplatformed from PayPal itself, I wouldn't even be able to accept donations or payments from sponsors. I would be completely unable to earn any money whatsoever.
If that happens, I invite you to download, share, and mirror my videos if you want. Remember the good times, and don't be mad that it's over, be happy that it happened at all.
