The benefit I see to memberships is that the Join button is right there, they don't have to go to another site or sign up for another site. They're already here and probably signed up.

I have watched many of these YT vs Patreon. You make the most sense. Thank you.

[ThePoplarReport]

Very helpful info in a concise fashion. Thanks.

I like your point very clear if you are only on YT might has well keep everyone there and if you already everywhere Patreon/buy me a coffee / Ko-fi sounds good option too, but what if you can have your own website and build a community on your own platform :) so much things, but keeping it simple might work better... again love the straight answer we know and sometimes we feel bad about.

Personally I can’t stand YT. They might as well change the name to “AdTube” because there are so many GD ads smh. It’s become insane the amount of ads they have & the frequency of them. YT has more ads than the Super Bowl half time show 🤦🏽‍♂️

Great work on explaining 😊I currently have both and yes, YouTube does take a larger percentage but I enjoy both

Hi! Two short questions here:

1. Is the YouTube membership audience free from commercials when watching those exclusive contents, given that they do not join the Premium scheme?

2. Patron allows YouTube embedded footages. Again, must the patrons watch commercials? What if creators do not embed YouTube, but directly use the Patron video function? Any difference?

Thanks!

I really like the point you made about multiple platforms. I never thought of that. For that reason alone, it seems like Patreon will be the winner. Thanks!

Youtube takes 49% from my SUPER THANKS😢

Good info! I didn’t know anything about YouTube memberships yet at all.

Can you explain what happens to the members only Livestreams - are they saved? Does the watch time count? Can membera watch the video later if they miss the Livestream?

You really helped me figure something out. Thanks.

Thanks 🙏 got about 2k on YT and over 4K on IG, but that’s really the only 2 platforms I use, would you get both ?

[spanishblueprints]

Thank you very much for talking about the difficult of deciding what to offer your audience. Especially if you have a Patreon account and Channel Memberships. This is something always on my mind when it comes to monetization. How different can this content be from my regular videos?? This video was great! Thank you.

@KevinCrowe: What if I wanted to make a series of instructional videos (say 10-12 videos) on a skill set and charge per video.
What would you suggest?

[AmazeEject]

Quick question, can you give discord perks using the youtube membership or is that just on patreon?

[GinasWorld]

thank you so much for this video. it helped me decide which to choose. I choose the YouTube membership and am working on setting it up now.
