If you like a persons content enough to pay them for it, then it might make sense to view the videos some way that isn't youtube. Perhaps, Pateron should team up with someone and offer the video hosting perhaps.

I'd like to see competition for youtube. They'd fuck up less if there were a more compelling reason for them to stop fucking up.

I'd love to see IPFS video (https://ipfstube.erindachtler.me/ ) get used for this sort of thing. For static, high-bandwidth content like video, that is created by users and for public domain, it makes more sense to be than a fat centralised pipe that's extremely expensive to maintain.
