Looks like barely any content on there compared to YouTube. Probably an steep uphill battle for them to get to the point where creators can make anything close to what they can make today on YouTube. And I can only watch one video before I have to get my credit card out. Hard pass.

I don't think the "subscription fee per content creator" model is a good comparison. We have subscription fatique already. Imagine if YouTube required you pay $/month per channel to watch anything. No way.

Patreon doesn't host videos. Each of the video creators I support on Patreon simply uploads their rewards as unlisted YouTube videos or uses a Vimeo integration.
