One thing that helps justify it to creators for all these services (including Facebook) over Patreon is that they at least provide hosting, usually of bandwidth-heavy video files or live streaming. Patreon just hosts the equivalent of a Twitter feed linking to YouTube videos.

I don't use patreon but isn't there often 'patron-exclusive" content? I thought that content was hosted on patreon itself.

I’m not actually sure if Patreon hosts video, but the one creator I subscribe to, AvE, posts videos a early for patrons as unlisted YouTube videos. After a week or so, they go public.

All the patreon-exclusive videos I've seen (5+ channels) have been unlisted YouTube videos. I've never seen a video hosted on patreon.
