I don't think most consumers of content use patreon to get at the creators content eg I use YouTube to watch forgotten weapons.

Of course they don't. Most people are willing to spend their valuable time watching said content, however only superfans pay the monthly subscriber fee to be "the first ones" or get at content that is never going to be distributed anywhere but the patreon channel and on piratebay.

Many creators use Patreon as a way to paywall their content behind minimum levels of Patreon support. By supporting on Patreon, you gain access to their content.
