Does Patreon work on a per view basis? I'd love to be charged per view of a video similar to an add, but I can add in value as I want to. It would be nice so that I don't have to pay one person more than I should and others nothing.

No, Patreon has two options: Monthly and Per Release, which has a monthly cap that patrons can set. I'm not sure that there is enough of a hook into the various platforms to allow a per-view style payment system.

It would be nice to have something similar to youtube red for watching videos I just don't really want to pay youtube. I'd like content to be spread around a little more.
