Some media groups have done this but only for content under their umbrella like Rooster Teeth FIRST. If you follow a few RT groups, ten it likely pays for itself vs youtube premium as you get live and locked shows on the RT site.

I bet Patreon could take on a similar model, but I'm not sure how it would be curated. Who would bundle creators? Patreon, the creator(s), or the user(s)? I don't think Patreon would want to show bias by grouping anything. To support creators working together it might be really cool to see them create alliances and tag team projects. But I'd probably want to bundle them myself to hand pick who I support.

I only follow 1 Patreon user, a good (very talented) high school friend with a knack for explanation of musical concepts. He's brilliant on a guitar and I want others to see that.
