7 out of 9, yes, one went to self-hosted, another left in favor of youtube directly, the rest in favor of twitch.
The last two I follow on Patreon (Techmoan and My Mate Vince) just sorta rolled past the whole thing.
Only one who wrote about it was the one who went self-hosted, the rest didn’t talk about it. I would guess it ended up being the final straw, like “why direct people to X to back me instead of just promoting myself where they see me.” Especially if, as you say, the cut was so similar.
So how many quit? Can you name them? Where did they move to?

Interesting. AFAIK YouTube takes a 30% cut on donations.
Twitch takes 50% of subs.
Sounds like the self hosted person is the only one who actually made an improvement?
I might be out of date on my numbers.

Yeah, and doing it on platform/in context means lower friction too. And sometimes has perks only available that way.
