The threat isn't to Chapo, it's to this sub that Chapo has some connection to, which it seems they wanted to just shut down because it was a general piracy vector, and perhaps they weren't moved by the idea of the sub continuing to exist on the pretense that it is merely a source for pirating chapo since we both know that it would never remain constrained to that.

To be clear, this is a tepid defense of Chris, who I don't think could really do anything here, not Patreon.

They are communicating through Chapo. Chris could tell Patreon not threaten the sub on behalf of Chapo.

I wouldn't take for granted that Patreon is interested in that counteroffer.

Sure they can't prevent Patreon from doing legal malpractice.
