With over 8 million monthly active members and $3.5 billion paid out to content creators since 2013, it's safe to say Patreon is doing something right to support the creative community.

Now, if you're unfamiliar with Patreon, it is a virtual space content creators use to connect intimately with their subscribers by offering exclusive content, behind-the-scenes insights, and personalized tutorials not possible with legacy solutions today.

Creators love Patreon for its customizable platform equipped with specialized tools that facilitate audience engagement and monetization through various subscription models. Subscribers love the opportunity to interact directly with creators and access exclusive content unavailable elsewhere.

Patreon offers flexibility when it comes to uploading content from different sources, including direct video uploads via URL, from YouTube, or uploads from Vimeo for Premium or Pro creators. And, because most creators on Patreon focus on just creating the best exclusive content for their subs and not the technicalities of building their own video hosting platform, they opt to use YouTube or Vimeo, which sounds like a no-brainer.

But hold your carrots, and let's talk about the fine print, including the dreaded "video unavailable" message. We know how frustrating it is to get this message after working hard for several weeks or even months because you got an audio license violation.
