I agree with this. Just recently I watched a couple of videos from a Youtube channel I follow (and like). I get through the second one and it was basically "if you want to find out more, support us on Patreon to see this supporters-only content".
My reaction was basically to lose interest in the channel entirely. Like it's something I'm mildly interested in but not totally invested in.
The problem now is that before watching any more of their videos, my thought will be "will this be actual content or a just a teaser to sell Patreon support?"
Either put up content on Youtube or don't. But this bait-and-switch is a quick path to unsubscribing entirely.
