Interesting. What are your sources for that info? :)
The most popular Patreon creators have something like ~50,000 patrons.
Anyone able to pull in that many patrons is likely to have millions of viewers on YouTube.
The proportion of viewers that pay is tiny.
Ahhh.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of that being optional either.
Many Patreon creators don't though, so it's kind of hard to tell. :/
That being said, I kind of wonder if the % of people paying creators is much different to the average % of people who pay for online services.
From (probably dodgy?) rough memory, that's something like 4% of users.
No idea how that works out when compared to $ from Youtube viewers though. :)
