Full text follows: It's funny: Both Bandcamp and Patreon had the easiest and most straightforwardly long-term profitable business models imaginable: Sit between indie creatives and their fans, provide some basic services for mediation (comment sections, media posts, semi-global payment) and take enough of a cut of any payments to cover the costs and then some. But because that business model wouldn't scale forever, they are instead being gutted, because ever _increasing_ growth is the only model capital acceptsALT

Investors remain undeterred, “We’ll find the infinite profit growth hack if we have to drain the life of everyone on earth to do it.”
