Thinkspot is an online social networking service started by Jordan Peterson following the banning of several content producers from the membership platform Patreon.

In December 2018, Carl Benjamin—an anti-feminist YouTuber known as "Sargon of Akkad"—was suspended by the membership platform Patreon, a website on which internet creators can receive money from fans who subscribe to their feed for a regular fee.

The first small collection of content creators included Dave Rubin, Carl Benjamin, James Altucher, retired U.S. Navy SEAL Jocko Willink and science writer Michael Shermer.

[7] Brian Feldman of Intelligencer criticized Peterson for the website's mechanic of hiding comments which receive downvotes, calling it "ironic given the professor's stance as a free-speech absolutist".

[4] Semley, Matthew Kassel of The Forward, Benjamin Goggin of Business Insider, and Ignacio Martinez of The Daily Dot express concern at the interest by white nationalists and other extremists in the site, noting parallels to other "free speech"-oriented platforms such as Gab that became used almost exclusively by such demographics.
