Page 1 of google sent me here by searching patreon youtubers. I am considering Patreon and had not heard of Twitch until your post. PewDiePie is the man and yes I agree with @intelliguy that decentralized platform is the way to go for this. I am excited for Steemit blogging potenial. For a fan based subscription service, so far the 10% costs for Patreon may be my favorite option. Please post your comments if you know of something better. Very helpful article Bob, Thank you.
