    I’d be interesting to see what’s the cut for each service, like, is it really that advantageous to get your crowds to subscribe via Patron instead of getting a Twitch subscription?

      Last I heard the standard cut for a Twitch sub is 50/50. I don’t know about any others.

      In the case of Patreon specifically, almost definitely yes. According to this calculator, a $4.99 sub on Twitch nets the creator $2.50, whereas on Patreon it’s a 2.9% fee on total earnings, plus a $0.30 per-transaction fee. That means a $4.99 sub nets you $4.56. I don’t know more about Twitch subscription tiers, but on Patreon it’s common to see people subscribed to $15, $25 tiers, etc.
