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.

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."

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