The Business: IndieGoGo Censors A Comic

IndieGoGo was never a true alternative to Kickstarter, in that it could be converged, and now we see proof.

"But we can make one that won't."

It will get shitcanned by Big Tech and Big Finance, or do you not remember the last time that happened? Without hosting, payment processing, and banking you don't have an online business. If any of those decide to deplatform you, you're done; it's why Gab's resilience is far more remarkable than people give them credit for, as they went from Typical Alt-Tech Flavor Of The Month to Burgeoning New Player purely due to its ability to withstand said pushes against it and respond by successfully building their own infrastructure- a fact thrown into the face of those that still seek to shut them down.

Yes, literally this: (Death Cultists) "Who owns Gab's servers? We can get to them." (Torba) "We own our own. Eat a dick."

As Jon says, this is not the first time IndieGoGo has done this sort of thing and it has the same vulnerability that Kickstarter, Patreon, Amazon, etc. do: SJWs on staff playing the role of Amenable Authority to external SJW pressure pushers doing Point & Shriek swarm attacks on their enemies. I expect that this sort of thing is going on. If it's not a one-two team playing Good Cop/Bad Cop, then it's a rogue employee trying to pick winners (his friends) and losers (his enemies).

This is why you have a backup means of backing, and that backup means is kept--as much as possible--on the down-low to circumvent problems like this.
