I don't think I like most podcasts enough to pay for them, save a couple of exceptions. Podcast playlists/etc have become the new "TV playing in the background" for me. I just typically always prefer to have something playing or going on in the house, and podcasts have filled that void now. I give on Patreon for The Morning Stream, mostly for the perks, though. I also occasionally subscribe to Twitch channels I enjoy (Geek and Sundry). But it's not consistent. Again, mostly for benefits (sub-only chat, emoticons, and watching previously recorded videos directly on twitch)
