YouTube angered many of its stars recently when its crackdown on unsavory ad placements led to drops in ad revenue across the board. Instagram and Snapchat don't offer creators any cut of the advertising income they generate, and Facebook only recently started granting select video makers a share of a little more than half.。
Patreon, on the other hand, skims up to one tenth of income generated on the site, depending on the size of a given creator's audience. 。
YouTube personality Phillip DeFranco said last fall that he was shutting down his channel to start a "news and entertainment network." His Patreon is currently listed as the site's most popular.。
