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.

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I might be out of date on my numbers.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.
