After Patreon banned several members for wrongthink, Sam Harris decided to protect himself and his funding by deleting his Patreon account.
From his letter: “…I consider it no longer tenable to expose any part of my podcast funding to the whims of Patreon’s “Trust and Safety” committee.”
In November of 2018, Harris had the 11th largest overall Patreon account and the 4th largest ‘Podcast’ account.
