It's sustainable as far as Patreon goes. Their company is doing fine and looks like it will continue to do fine. But in the world of investing, sustainability means more than that. It means perpetual double-digit growth and other probably unrealistic expectations.

It seems to me that they have a good thing going, although I disagree with their policy of policing the content and speech of the projects they support.

However, there should be room in the market for competition and hopefully a competitor will arise who doesn't try to enforce his morality and/or politics (good or bad) on the fund-raising projects he facilitates.

That is all.
