Even being a paying customer has little value. Remember that Jordan Peterson was #15 of Patreon with more than $1m revenue if I’m correct, yet he was removed abruptly, I think in the wake of being referenced in the Christchurch terrorist (together with his book being forbidden in NZ).

Even paying customers can be removed without trial.

This isn't quite correct.

Peterson wasn't removed, he left in protest, along with Sam Harris and others, after Carl Benjamin ("Sargon of Akkad") was removed over what Patreon considered to be a policy breach. [1]

I'm not expressing any position on whether or not the Carl Benjamin ban was valid, I'm just wanting to correct the record.
