TIL Patreon's estimated revenue in 2021 is $160m, and Substack's is $11.9m. Anecdotal but I don't know anyone using Patreon yet know tons on Substack. Would have assumed less of a delta.

Yes, as said in other replies: Patreon is much broader, and around much longer. I wonder what the numbers are for alternatives to Patreon, such as Buy Me A Coffee and Ko-Fi. I think what's also very interesting, is that not only the creators on these platforms are more diverse, the way supporters can intereact are too

First of all there's the tip-jar functionality, giving supporters the one-off option. Then there are things like extra's etcetera. So supporters have much more ways to reward a creator. For one piece, for a commissioned work of art, etcetera. Buy Me A Coffee now also has a whishlist app. The user choice is better.
