An effective resistance to Leftist tyranny would identify the individual who made the decision and leave parts of him scattered over the countryside. There is simply no innocent, non-despotic explanation for such an initiative on the part of Mastercard. Why is it their business what someone says on YouTube?
I have walked the walk on this, and pulled my accounts of some forty years out of Bank of America for their political advocacy of leftist causes (signaling they would not take part in financial transactions with manufacturers of civilian “assault weapons)
In this case, if I am reading their stance correctly, I fully support it (even though it appears on the surface that Mastercard is the issue, not Patreon, who appears to be hamstrung by their terms of agreement. That isn’t a given, though, they might just be using that as cover?)
What is needed (as I have heard Dan Bongino state) is a conservative alternative to something like Patreon. And they don’t have to support only conservative causes or customers, they could take even far left customers, but would state that their terms of agreement will not allow them to be pressured in the manner Patreon was.
Basically, a politically-neutral site.
