YouTube has been a dumpster fire for many many years now and it continues its slide down.
Patreon would not exist had anyone over at YT had focus beyond the next two quarters.
Sooner or later an actual real contender will be created, and you'll see YT's knee jerk reactions with a surprised Pikachu meme in full effect.
Patreon and sites like it exist as a hedge against YouTube banning your channel.
