> It also seems odd that creators don’t just use PayPal directly and ask for scheduled transactions I'd love to see the breakdown of Patreon subscription amounts. Personally, I support around 15 YouTubers each with $1/mo, meaning I pay $15/mo for my YouTube content. If I paid them individually with PayPal, the fees would be 30% and the creators would only get 66 cents. Since Patreon bundles the payments, the fee is only 5%, Patreon takes their cut and the creators get 90 cents. To me, Patreon is basically a micro-transaction bundler.
