Doesn't Patreon then take a cut? What's the difference? (Fee % might, haven't checked to be fair)

I'm supporting one creator via Patreon and got merch from another one (and have tried channel memberships), however this doesn't really scale.

merch is only really great when one needs whatever is offered anyways
Patreon is nice, but requires explicit effort and regular payments for each channel

So from that perspective, having creators being payed more per-view is actually a nice, convenient effect and will cover channels that might otherwise get nothing. I'd like to have something like this for the general internet - pay some monthly fee, no more ads and websites, news sites etc all get some share (that is ultimatively more than what the ads would've given them in the first place).
