Abstract: Jon's research focuses on the geographies of cultural and creative industries, and visual methodologies. Words: 8000 Interpenetration and intermediation of crowd-patronage platforms Web platforms are becoming part of everyday life for internet users. They come in many forms, offering a range of products and services for both producers and consumers as they (re)produce multi-sided markets.

“…As argued elsewhere (Langley and Leyshon, 2017a;Swords, 2018), the platform stack is a useful framework to structure a more detailed interrogation of platforms. When examining the network layer, for example, platforms can be viewed as intermediaries which enable and (re)produce multi-sided markets (Langley and Leyshon, 2017b;Swords, 2018). Analysis of network layers also reveals insights about the content of a platform and its users.…”

“…Others claim for a search of alternatives for the commercial management of platforms or for regulation (Poell, 2020), or even a radical reform in digital infrastructures (Couldry & Mejias, 2019). Swords (2020) points out that crowdfunding sites, such as Patreon or Subbable, cannot be understood without looking at the ecosystem of digital platforms in which they operate. Crowdfunding websites allow employers and do not "host, publish or distribute content" (Swords, 2020, p. 530) and, thus, they are "co-constitutive, enabled and constrained by interpenetration with other platforms" (p. 524).…”

“…This perhaps also reflects a broader trend across social media platforms to invite and elevate their audiences to aspire to become 'content creators', while providing features and opportunities for these new creators to monetize their content and audiences. And while platforms such as Patreon, Twitch, TikTok and Kickstarter clearly facilitate more direct creative transactions between creators and their audiences, Swords also emphasizes the extent to which these global platforms effectively re-intermediate these relationships and inevitably play a curatorial role, deeply dependent on algorithmic logics [66,67].…”
