It'd be good to see Patreon face some more serious competition. They are by far the dominant force in their segment.

Not being in the know, what are the serious competitors to Patreon? Utreon? Buy Me a Coffee? Youtube itself?

As a new user of Patreon (literally this week is the first time I've used it) I finally signed up because a content creator is posting their videos to Patreon a day early. Youtube could solve that problem.

Does anyone have any other examples of what Patreon does for them?

It’s cross platform and PayPal hasn’t decided to eat it as a feature yet. That’s it.
