- nickjj 9y agoPatreon is interesting to me because it's typically linked to from Youtube. I know some Youtubers who have close to a million subscribers and over 250 million views on their channel but they have like 100 Patreon subscribers and make $300 / month from it. Really goes to show you how hard it is to get those 1,000 true fans on some platforms, and that having those fans won't necessarily put you into a "I've made it!" situation depending on where they came from.
