Fan Funding isn't something that YouTube just came up with out of the blue, though: it was actually a response to creators using platforms like PayPal donations and Patreon in order to fund the creation of their free content. Other creators offer a tiered support system - to incentivise potential patrons to contribute more.

The percentage of Patreon creators who earn more than the federal minimum wage through the site, according to public earnings data. Patreon allows creators to set up monthly, subscription-style payment tiers, with different pledges for different levels of content or for various perks.
