     @maiyannah @lnxw48 @gargron  I remember the buyout having to do with Subbable using Amazon as a payment processor.

     @normandy @lnxw48 @gargron They had all kinds of alternate ways when they were in operation.  Amazon payments, Paypal, and Bitcoin, if memory serves.  I have like 10$ worth of BTC floating around from that.  Personally, I just liked that they passed LibreJS - not many sites like that do.

     @lnxw48 @gargron @normandy But really, they got bought out because they were direct competition to Patreon and they had the money to basically buy themselves and effective monopoly, so why wouldn't they?
