No thanks.

Isn't Patreon basically a web site where you can pay a subscription to ... something? Why would it need all that? Does the subscriber content get delivered through Patreon?

You and I may not want notifications, but a lot of people do.

Yes. Many of creators deliver media content through Patreon.

Announcements, updates, Q&As, early access to regular content, bonus behind-the-scenes content, and sometimes exclusive content. It all depends on the creator.

Ah so it's more like Steam than like just subscription management. Thanks.
