You currently have 662k subscribers on Youtube while 1,221 subscribers on Patreon.  Those numbers obviously aren&amp;#x27;t constant throughout the entire time frame of that graph, but it would generally indicate that less than 0.2% of people becoming patrons was enough to surpass the revenue from Youtube.  I still have my doubts of how this scales for both consumers and Patreon as a company, but there is no question that this model is great for established content creators.</text><parent_chain><item><author>bkraz</author><text>Graph showing revenue for my YouTube channel vs Patreon over the years.

I heavily rely on YouTube Red to avoid ads on mobile, I hope they never get rid of it. I&amp;#x27;m guessing the revenue is so low for it on your chart because most people don&amp;#x27;t have YT Red, not because it&amp;#x27;s not pulling its weight as compared to ads. I would probably just stop using YouTube on mobile if they ever removed YT Red, I don&amp;#x27;t know how people can stand the ads. There are so many ads.</text><parent_chain><item><author>bkraz</author><text>Graph showing revenue for my YouTube channel vs Patreon over the years.
