I'm not sure that this change has anything to do with AML. Patreon already does bundle payments to creators. I get billed monthly for my various followings.

That won't change at all under the new system (AFAIK). What changes is that Patreon charge me for every pledge instance that I use, which is basically crap as it doesn't cost them any more if a creator has 1, 5 or 10 pledges per month, they bundle it up and make one payment to the creator. I have no problem with the idea of Patreon charge patrons rather than creators for fees, but the "per pledge" billing is terrible.
