Are those content creators being fairly rewarded?

  Define fair. Also, not sure fair is even the goal for many of them. If you want to maximize your revenue, you are nearly always better off on your own platform. So these platform take a cut and it is left to the user to make a choice if it's worth it.

  What's "fair"? More people are getting their work seen than ever. But there's no law that if you create something people are going to pay you for it. That's never been the case.

  It's hard to get real numbers from across the spectrum but the short answer is that the popular ones are doing very well. I posted a link on HN to a Magic the Gathering YouTube streamer doing an incredibly transparent breakdown of his income. If you want hard numbers (albeit with a sample size of 1) that'd be a good place to start.

  I have about 100 supporters on Patreon and this makes enough money for me to cover my bills, and spend my days swanning aimlessly about my town’s cafes and parks, drawing whatever I want to draw. About 15% of what I make goes to Patron and payment processing.
