Oh I think I missed that issue... don't follow the real estate subplot but yeah makes sense that Zillow is a real-estate media company the way Patreon is a... something media company.

do we need aggregation theory for this? or just theory around strength-of-communication channels and relative ease to mobilize mobs?
-
Maybe a cultural-aggregation theory. Rent-a-mob. A crowd which owns its creators is basically a stable echo chamber of mutual reinforcement. It's a thing worth owning, but there's a cultural cost to extracting a rent from it. It's a pump to extract trust from commons.

Isn't aggregate with tech saying don't take a moral ( falsely /signalling / whatever ) stance? And does that not force a broad market gotomarket strategy
-
That's a weirdly negative way of putting it. It's not a "don't", it's a "do." You actually need to do some invention to not default to the cultural option. It's not false or signaling, it just is. Crowds on a medium acquire a cultural character.

It's another way of saying it's a content curator, not a tech platform. Therefore, undifferentiated & difficult to defend when curation derails. Even if they were to embrace their editorial nature, aggregation is the least manageable way to achieve it.https://mobile.twitter.com/ideafaktory/status/1076503229897293825 …

Similar issue at Medium, which has embraced its editorial identity. Like patreon, it raises paltry sums for most of its creators & is entirely dispensable.

I think the "leverage" is amortizing the transaction cost from donating a small amount to many creators. I agree though, Patreon should be more like Stripe, i.e. something you embed into your existing site rather than a standalone product. (Doesn't solve censorship issue though)
