They shouldn't have closed the sub. They could at least force Patreon/Reddit to go through the effort of closing the sub. Doing the work for them is a bit rubbish.

I'm guessing they were spooked by the phrase "legal remedies", unfortunately

Their pretentious gloating over the shut down of their own sub and dunking on their own fans was such try hard lameness.

it soured me on them ever since. Will in particular was jubilant and sadistic (and kept bringing it up for months to gloat)

So, so weird, I didn’t understand it at all. The only possible explanation is that some people criticised/made of fun of him and he got butthurt

Yeah, I can see wanting to call the bluff. The timing on this, with Chris suddenly getting them proper social media accounts elsewhere, strikes me more as Chapo wanting control of the biggest fan presence on Reddit (maybe on the internet?) than anything the Patreon overlords had to say.

But I get as just some unpaid reddit mod not wanting to tempt fate with legal actions directed toward you and just saying "fuck you I quit."
