It's a "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" scenario. YouTube already has direct donation mechanisms, so patreon isn't really bringing anything new to the table. Patreon is just as beholden to corporate interests and censorship as YouTube. There's enough creators out there for patreon to make money off of people YouTube banned, but this isn't progress for the internet, just business as usual.
