There are still Ko-Fi, SubscribeStar, as well as YouTube memberships. To say nothing about OnlyFans and Fansly, which have been trying to become less… porn-dependent.

YouTube memberships? Demonetization on YouTube is one of the main things that drives people to use Patreon.

Demonetization on YouTube means YouTube won't show ads on your videos so you don't get money from them, and YouTube recommends them less.

Having members on YouTube doesn't impact that at all. The members will pay and discover, same as if they were on Patreon. Non-members might have a harder time discovering, but it's not like it's easy to discover content through Patreon either.
