It's a centralised (not great) publishing platform where the main feature is that it supports "micro" payments. As a user (rather than a creator) I like it because I don't have to faff around with separate payments across multiple sites, just once a month my credit card is billed the sum of all the sponsorships I want to make and I get an email to tell me where it all went to. I will tend to think twice before setting up a recurring donation to something that's not on patreon, simply because it's something new for me to keep track of. TBH I almost never use it to get to the actual content, it's usually for sponsoring podcasts etc. that I was already listening to.
