half of the revenue comes from Patreon. Looks like people want this guy to make videos seriously :)

  Since he mentioned the Discord benefit for Patreon, I'm guessing the ability to chat with him would be the biggest incentive. The audience really likes getting extra access to a creator and have 2-way communication instead of just being passive viewers. His other Patreon benefit for the highest tier is early access to videos but in observing other Youtube creators' explanations, it's the live chat that attracts Patreon payments. I do notice that some Youtubers do the reverse of Patreon tiers from Asianometry. E.g. Real Science: least expensive tiers have early access but no livestream chat; the highest tier has the chat Everybody's trying to figure out the right mix of incentives for Patreon.

    I backed a few YouTubers on Patreon, but never did it for the benefits, just wanted to give them some extra financial support.

      That exists too but most backers are going to want either some sort of privileged access to content or a parasocial relationship with the creator.
