A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In the case of Patreon specifically, almost definitely yes. According to this calculator, a $4.99 sub on Twitch nets the creator $2.50, whereas on Patreon it's a 2.9% fee on total earnings, plus a $0.30 per-transaction fee. That means a $4.99 sub nets you $4.56. I don't know more about Twitch subscription tiers, but on Patreon it's common to see people subscribed to $15, $25 tiers, etc.
