UPDATE ON PATREON!
Added 2024-10-16 01:35:30 +0000 UTCAfter a bunch of back and forth, we finally have some clarity on what exactly is going on and can report it to you.
One year from now, on November 1, 2025, Patreon will forcibly convert our existing patrons’ per-video memberships to monthly memberships. And for iOS app users, they are adding an additional 30% fee! In the meantime, starting in a few weeks, Patreon won’t even allow NEW patrons to sign up—unless we convert all of our existing patrons to the new model.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: If you are already a patron, nothing will change for now. You will still be able to keep whatever per episode contribution you’ve selected. At some point, though, Patreon will make us do a conversion to monthly. And we’ll let patrons know about it before it happens.
But a couple months from now, we’re going to stop promoting Patreon anyway. Because rather than charging a monthly subscription fee on Patreon, have them take a cut, and be subjected to their censorship, we decided to create our own subscription website where we control everything.
Matt, Shelley, and I have decided that this is the best way to ensure we can continue the show, make free content for YouTube, and create additional premium content for anyone who subscribes to our new website. Plus it’ll have cool features that Patreon doesn’t.
Once we launch that website, we’ll let you know. And we’ll ask you to subscribe to that website instead of Patreon.
If you’ve contributed to us through Patreon over the years, thank you so much for your ongoing support. You are what has made China Uncensored possible. We hope you can keep your Patreon subscription until the new website is launched.

Just to be more clear, I want to ensure that the CCP doesn't spy on anyone visiting China Uncensored's website. On the China Uncensored website, there must be a test if China is spying on you. Technology will keep getting more advanced.

2024-10-21 23:56:32 +0000 UTCThanks for letting me know , I’ll probably remove this app then in the future date since the Patreon company wants to be stupid & follow esg or whatever woke nonsense big companies seem to be following for whatever reason(s)… there’s only maybe three others I support on this platform & those seem to want to leave this app too. So Patreon might be shooting themselves in the foot with this nonsense with the censorship.

2024-10-19 01:04:55 +0000 UTCI grant that creating your own platform might be the best choice, but there are a number of Patreon alternatives that already exist.

2024-10-16 10:24:47 +0000 UTCIf you want to show my question at the end of an episode, just inspect and remove that part "Unfortunately, on the VirusTotal website, none of the antiviruses have flagged TikTok as malicious, like spying. The antiviruses aren't great enough to protect data from spyware. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/9362956c86b724ae05a38b00cf9d79b3061b40a70501aacf1b4e48c4230d0f96/detection". This is just what I find.

2024-10-16 06:38:13 +0000 UTCIs there a test to check on the China Uncensored website (on PC, Mobile, Tablet, etc.) if China is spying on me?
