as can most
Sargon is not based in the US.
I realize this
Neither are most of us.
he'll need to sort that out
regarding right-wing patreon, cody wilson set up hatreon
it was deplatformed
And most of this censorship is happening *in the US*, at the behest of American monopolies.
Look, nobody is going to send Sargon a void check.
have people donate to him through UKIP, they can't block that cuz it would be political banking?
when you build a platform and put all the problematic people on it, you attract trouble
I'm not letting anyone directly debit my bank account.
And I'd guess that 99% of people agree
so don't
OK, so you've wiped out 99% of their funding
do you really think sargon could not get a processing account for cards?
I think that payment processors will fold immediately upon getting a nastygram from the "People for the American Way"
patreon != reality
silicon valley != reality
Payment processors survive on mitigating risk.
I don't think they will fold as fast as patreon
Do you really think Sargon - even now, let alone when he was building his profile - is going to process credit cards? Will people trust every individual creator with their credit card number?
And they're booting people left and right to avoid risk at all costs. Any other payment provider will do the same.
eh
maybe
solutions will emerge
So if Sargon signs up for a porn payment provider, they'll fold just the same.
and my money is not on some custom blockchain scheme
BitChute tried. The porn processors wouldn't touch.. Ask Vee.
The solutions are on their way. They are cryptocurrencies. For *reasons*, which I partially understand, paradigm is contrarian on crypto's ability to solve these problems.
we have cryptocurrencies
accept bitcoin
But we don't have the smartcontracts to implement patron pledges.
more like Brokecoin, amirite? 😉
We will have them very soon.
There are good reasons why crypto in its current form, won't be the solution. Mostly to do with the majority of major banks banning the purchase of crypto with their credit cards, and BRAM regulations being changed a few months ago to label crypto companies as 'high risk'
Bitcoin sucks.
It is an enormous waste of resources which is useless.
and shitcoins suck as well
All of them?
So you can transfer your crypto back and forth, but you can't turn it into cash to pay your taxes/rent/bills.
I am not aware of a good one
