This isn't a dig at Patreon cuz for some people, I like the idea. But... If you're a content creator + turning it into a money-making business, charging positioning it as a donation is a joke (most of the time). If you create good shit, ask for $ in exchange for your service.
I can't stand this whole humble, "help me survive" mentality. Yes - it's good sometimes. But for most, you're devaluing yourself. Get confident. Charge in exchange for value. Will a restaurant feed you then beg for a donation? Why do that with your art, content, whatever?
