Please consolidate your ranting into a single comment.
None of this really deserves a serious answer because you're not actually interested in facts. You obviously just like hearing yourself talk, but I'll give you one serious answer then flag the rest of this crap.
First off Patreon.
- There is content on Patreon. It's not primarily for browsing, it's for following a creator that you're already familiar with. I can understand you not knowing anyone that makes money on Patreon as I image they don't hang out in your circles. I know several, as I'm an artist and content creator.
Why do people on Pateron hide how much they make?
They didn't before, I imagine because users requested it. I remember there's a girlwho paints anime characters and she makes a ridiculous amount of money. I think that would ultimately work against the creator. If someone is making 23k every two weeks everyone who sees that will think "She's got enough money, I'm not going to pile on" At least that's what I'd think. So I imaging it's actually the opposite of what you're thinking.
- Donations are not difficult on Steem, it's the communication of the donation that this feature brings. It gives people the ability to communicate their appreciation for a piece of content or comment or whatever. The same way an upvote does. It gives people more options. Upvotes take a lot of SP to actually have value. More people could actually afford to send small donations. None of it would be forced on anyone, just more options.
Anyway, I seriously doubt you care that you're just spouting nonsense, but on the off chance you care to try reality for a change, check those links.
