I don't think that's any better than the current scheme; infact, it could be worse becasue the current ad system has centralized control which can check on extremist echo-chambers. I suspect Patreon-style funding will increase polarization[1], with the "content-creators" optimizing for what brings in the most money, not necessarily their thoughtful ideas.
