Seems like a perfect area for patreon to expand into.

Support a user/artist on patreon, get access to their vids also hosted on patreon.

Indeed. Or even make sure to integrate Patreon (or other donation applications) to any privacy-friendly video application.

I have a Twitch account just to have a paid subscription for the Critical Role channel, despite the fact that I never open Twitch and download their videos from Youtube using youtube-dl. It kind of feels ridiculous (especially knowing Twitch will put me in metrics of "their users").

Patreon is going to face the same issue then.
