5. Integration

6. Creative Freedom

Creators have more creative freedom and control over their work because they are not dependent solely on traditional media outlets or advertisers.

7. Funding Stability

Patreon provides creators with a more stable source of income compared to ad-based revenue models, which can fluctuate.
