Founded in 2013 by musician Jack Conte of Pomplamoose as a way for his YouTube fans to pay him directly for the content he was producing, Patreon
has since grown into a subscription service where creators worldwide receive monthly payments from fans (referred to as patrons), often in exchange for additional content. Less than a decade later, Patreon boasts over 8 million monthly active patrons sponsoring over 250,000 creators.
Works whose creators help support their creative endeavors with a Patreon account and Patreon content include:
