      Hey everybody, I've launched a Patreon: https://patreon.com/mtracey  The aim is to produce podcasts, videos, and other forms of journalism using the funds received. More info at the link. Your support is appreciated! -MT

      If you prefer not to give through Patreon for whatever reason, PayPal link is here: https://www.paypal.me/mctracey  Patreon seems preferable because it sets up sustainability and reliability.

      And here's my bitcoin address: https://pastebin.com/QV5SjPr6  But again, the whole point of Patreon is that so you can project out the resources you'll have -- for planning purposes, etc.!

      For the people raising issues about Patreon censorship, I agree. It's cause for concern. But I think the best way to combat the censorious tendency of tech companies is to "fight from the inside." Same philosophy with Twitter, which has also behaved dubiously at times.

          Thank you. How so? I object to some of Twitter's actions, but if I were to abandon Twitter, I'd forfeit any leverage in influencing their future decisions.

          Did you watch the creator of minds on @joerogan today, I think he has some better ideas than dealing with it from the inside.

          Might I respectfully recommend Interface by @whenhub a concern of @ScottAdamsSays which has a donate function. It was in response to the Patreon issue

          Patreon has been far better then most sites as far as censorship goes. FAR better then YouTube.

          I absolutely will be sponsoring you, but not through Patreon. I disagree with this tweet. Twitter, spotify, Facebook, and patreon are broken, and I've been actively looking for alternatives. The only thing these companies will understand is the bottom line.

          Posturing? I'm explicitly soliciting funds, so no "posturing" here. I'm just explaining my rationale for using Patreon.

          I don’t understand how “fighting from the inside” doesn’t mean “Okay, I’ll take donations anyway possible.” You’re not fighting the system, you’re using it, which is fine.

          I use Twitter, but I also object to some of Twitter's policies. By remaining on Twitter, I can seek to influence how they operate in a positive direction. Same philosophy.
