Ahhh.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of that being optional either.
Many Patreon creators don't though, so it's kind of hard to tell. :/
That being said, I kind of wonder if the % of people paying creators is much different to the average % of people who pay for online services.
From (probably dodgy?) rough memory, that's something like 4% of users.
No idea how that works out when compared to $ from Youtube viewers though. :)
The most popular Patreon creators have something like ~50,000 patrons.
Anyone able to pull in that many patrons is likely to have millions of viewers on YouTube.
The proportion of viewers that pay is tiny.
