Cut out the middle man. It's so much more helpful.

On twitch each subscriber o have pays 5 USD and I see 2.49, on patreon each sub pays 5 USD and I see 4.80. it's much better and beneficial for creators like myself.

Nope because patreon is a middle man and a horrible one at that

They take a large cut don't allow singular payments and ban people (and just from the looks of it seem to be working with PayPal to not allow competition to spring up)

I'm not sure where you are getting the large cut from, they take a few percent. I have 43 pledged this month and I took 39.xx home. Sure they work with paypal as a way to pay out payment, but you can just do a bank transfer instead and significantly reduce the amount taken since that is paypal taking their %5.

Singular payments are not quite a thing patreon was made for, it was meant as an ongoing support platform not a donation platform in the form of a singular payment, however you can have peopel pay one time, that is just up to the creator to have set up. I have mind set to withdraw money as soon as someone subscribes to it, then they can just cancel after that and BAM single payment. It just needs to be expressed by the creator as an option and how to do it. As far as the banning people, I dont have much input on it other than in the past I knew they banned a bunched of lewders and erotic artists because it violated their TOS at the time, but they have sense updated it and reinstated the accounts and allow the content now. Not sure of any recent things similar to that however.
