I haven't seen Patreon do this. Can you link to stories where Patreon has paid for original content creation similar to how Netflix/Amazon/HBO funds original content?
$60 million would be a very tiny warchest to pay for producing original content.
I think the $60 million (~$100 million total) is being used to expand the platform's services for creators' such as backoffice and ecommerce. I wrote in more detail about that strategy in my other comment.
