holiday hypothesis for you to mull re: Patreon... aggregation is “bad” if all you’re doing is aggregating an audience with cultural curation and no real tech leverage. Bad in the sense of leading to toxic cultural dynamics. Either aggregate with tech or not at all.

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.
