I don't know how to respond to that. That's not a complicated thing to do.

Patreon gets to take the money they take because they've found a good niche, not because their website can do something that all websites have been able to do since the 1990s.

I personally think they take too much for what they provide. That's all. I am very happy they exist, though, because otherwise everyone would just be chasing the algorithm.

“Not because their website can do something that all websites have been able to do since the 1990s”.

That is describing most money-making websites in existence
