I mean there's a lot of substitutes right? I feel like every YouTube video I watch there is a plug for their patron, kofi, buy me a coffee, podia. Hopefully they can compete to be not awful in the long run.
Personally I hope Nebula takes off. I signed up for a perpetual account recently and it's great, but a bit limited in terms of the selection of creators.
I pay for nebula mostly to support Legal Eagle right now.
Notjustbikes turned me onto it, but legaleagle is another good one on there. I wish more creators would look into it. I'm a big fan of Kyle Hill, and his content seems to be exactly the sort that would fit there, but he isn't on it.
Those two, Lindsey Ellis and Philosophy Tube are the only four that I found good. It's kind of thin still.
I've got links to several of them on my youtube channel. Patreon is the only one my viewers have ever chosen to use.
Regardless of the issues people identify with Patreon, it is the one that pays the bills consistently.
