I think the thing people sometimes forget is that at the core of all of this drama is a substantive issue (and the reason for the arbitration claims), namely:

* Can Patreon kick someone off who did not violate their terms of service?

* Does kicking someone off in this manner constitute tortious interference?

It's actually somewhat unfortunate that this is going through arbitration, if only because we likely won't ever get the full details of the judgement.

However, it is clear that, in addition to the central issue under arbitration, there are a number of errors that Patreon has made that are not working in their favor.

My understanding is that NDAs only apply to settlements, not to actual judgements. Also, no one wants to settle.

I hope we get to see judgments. This is potentially a big deal for consumer rights.
