Lets not be disingenuous.

CAPITALISM cuts deep inside creator's profits. Patreon is only one such that relies on the creative works of humans, and gatekeep while charging usurious rates for "access".

Patreon DOES cut deep, for little benefit. But so does every company that hires people. By definition, we do not get the full surplus of our labor. We get scraps, and the "job creators" (read: capitalist scam) get the lion's share of our work.

That's how capitalism works - it's a scheme where only a few at the top get the benefits of the rest of us, all the while they tell us that they deserve our benefits of work.
