Because ORANGE MAN BAD, ORANGE MAN EVIL.
Why can companies that are financial transaction middlemen do so?

If this leads to more diversity of website hosting and funding, then it's ultimately a good thing.
Silicon Valley hates diversity of thought. MUST ALL THINK SAME! ORANGE MAN BAD!

Check out this distortion of reality:
https://www.ft.com/content/7c4285b2-fe2f-11e8-ac00-57a2a826423e
Count Dankula, aka Meechan, was tired of hearing his fiance tell him how wonderful and faultless her little dog was, so he made a Gag Video of the Dog giving a Hitler like salute and had him say "Gas the Jews". It was a fucking joke. It could have been in a Mel Brooks Movie.
Of course, that doesn't appear in the story.
Mr Meechan, who described Patreon as his “main income”, told followers he was “beginning the process of switching over to SubscribeStar”. Mr Meechan made headlines in April of this year when he was fined £800 under the Communications Act for uploading a YouTube video featuring a dog making a “Nazi salute” while he shouted “gas the Jews”.

But only if they ban un-PC sites/people.
If we take this idea to its logical extension, then it would be OK for a business to ban whites/blacks/Asians/womyn/men from entering their premises or doing business with them.
Free Market! S. V. can do as they please.

I doubt Mel Brooks would have made a career as good as he did if he would have started in CURRENT YEAR. BTW his movies are my favorites.

Awesome! thanks for the post! was hoping there was an alternative.
Usually I donate to causes like Wounded Warrior, Operation Smile etc., but even those just spam the shit out of me asking for more when I do. Like monthly which just makes me feel like they're wasting what I gave them.
So recently I decided this year I'm going to give it to intellectual dark web types. In particular my favorites like J Peterson, Sargon and I'll be adding a bonus for those who the leftists demonetize.

Here's a surprise, and Fair Play for Sam Harris.
He cancelled his Patreon on the news, and he was the 13th account in total donations.

Dammit, SubscribeStar is, "falling apart":

Money making opportunity right there.

But when you do:
PayPal shuts Russian crowdfunder’s account after alt-right influx

Note FT seems to be very enthusiastic about banning SubscribeStar. Pretty sure the Big Business Papers see nationalist-populism/realism as a threat, not as easily manipulated as useful idiot SJWs for Globaloney causes.
As if Sargon of Akkad is AltRight, the guy is a liberal and not even a classical liberal.
Sargon was banned by Patreon last week.
Should companies involved with accepting donations be allowed to ban users for their speech? The telephone and electric company can't. Why can companies that are financial transaction middlemen do so?
