"Begging" for Patreon subscribers should be more than enough of a red flag for the state of Youtube Creators. They're resorting to platforms like Patreon because they have a much clearer estimate for their paychecks, unlike Youtube where your video can be claimed, demonitized, etc and you instantly lose that revenue. This is exactly why content is suffering on the platform, you can't afford to invest money and time into a video which might be taken down by some Copyright bot.
