It's a bit more complicated, which is why many content producers still use Patreon even if they want an alternative. Patreon not only collects money, it also provides a way to assign rewards, define goals and notify patrons (filtered by reward level) of new content. It's not a publishing platform, but it's not just a payment processor, it's also a kind of marketing platform. That said, the most appalling part of Facebook's "competitor" is not the 30% rate, it's that their ToS try to pull the same bullshit stunt they try to pull on their social platform: tricking you into believing you owe them perpetual transferable rights to everything you share via their platform. They know this isn't actually enforceable (at least not in all jurisdictions internationally) but they still try to trick people into believing they unknowingly agreed to it and are comfortable exploiting those in jurisdictions where this nonsense works and those who don't know any better.
