Depends on two things - does Youtube give a better cut? Presumably they would, but Google doesn't have a good track record. Second, do they want to trust Google not to both ban their channel _and_ take all their income away.

If you have a YT page, but get your money from Patreon, you have a fallback if either of them drops you for whatever reason.

That's before you get into podcasts on Patreon, which seems to make up a lot of their userbase, if you look at their most patronized stuff. There's no particularly good podcast monetization platform, rightfully, because of its decentralized protocol.
