I love the platform itself and how it easy it makes it to connect with an audience as a creator. Their fees are reasonable for what it allows, and for the brand safety that comes with paying a 3rd party vs the creator directly.
With recent events of Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and others leaving the platform, it brought up issues of censorship that haven't been adequately responded to by the company. That's created a bit of a shaky foundation for creators such as myself to believe in and stand by the platform itself. With every controversy, comes a new decision for a creator to put their face and name next to that company, or not. Their lack of response to a fairly large controversy makes that harder, where they could have simply taken an even former stance in creating a safe environment for creators and their fans and only associating the brand with creators that meet a clear and public standard.
