Where Neon’s skepticism sharpens is over the "renewed commitment to values", especially the ability to cancel projects based on subjective assessments of creator misconduct. The union’s language effectively grants a powerful veto over what is published, raising fears about censorship, political bias, and erasing certain voices or stories.

He compares this to Kickstarter’s experience, where the platform's attempts at content control led to conflicts and backfiring.
