It's not just like Kickstarter. Patreon has a business model built on recurring monthly revenue stream. Kickstarter makes money off of one-off events. It's a totally different business.

I think the point was that Patreon has a lot of competing services in the same space, just like Kickstarter has in it's. Note that I have no idea if that's true, but that's my interpretation.
