Banks like Visa and Mastercard are now backdoor moral authorities. They already pressured Patreon, OnlyFans, and others to remove NSFW content. Now Steam is next. And guess who they’ll target first? Queer, transgressive, or “unusual” games.

So much of online activism has devolved into a knives-always-out pissing contest of purity which from the outside looks weird af and from the inside just makes people mad for no good reason.

You are absolutely correct that the majority of leftists like myself have swung way too far towards the sabotage-prevention "disengage, disavow, and dogpile" strategy instead of the coalition-building "engage and educate" strategy.
I don't know how to fix it, but thank you for trying.

It bears repeating that shit like OANN, Newsmax, Infowars, hell even Stormfront, NEVER had a paywall. Meanwhile you get 2 free NYT articles per year if you create an account and sign up via email and start your free trial by inputting your credit card information and email activation code and
