Summary

I will be leaving Patreon effective January 15th, 2019 and will be moving our fan funding directly to our own website at http://www.daverubin.com/donate. This was an incredibly hard decision to make and one that I do not take lightly. The banning of Carl Benjamin, aka Sargon of Akkad, was a massive move of the line of what is acceptable speech on these platforms, and I cannot in good conscience support Patreon as they assault free expression online. For our Patreon members who listen to the ad-free podcast, stay tuned as we are working on building out an ad free podcast for our monthly supporters on http://www.daverubin.com. Join now and we'll roll you right into it when it's ready! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
