This article claims Patreon's true cut is not the advertised 8-10%, but *86-83%*?? Surely this can't be true? We would have heard more people complaining about it by now.
it currently reads to me as 14~17, which is not great, but not that high either depending on the exact case.
> When considering all factors, including standard payout processing fees, the real cut for a creator on Patreon is often a stark ~14-17% depending on the exact scenario.

edit: now I get it, seems like you are native speaker and me and author are not, I guess correct way should be "cut from a creator" instead?
Let's say I make $25/m from Patreon. I receive 79.18% to 86.12% (processing fees, Patreon fee and currency conversion)
Withdrawing every two months via Payoneer ($10 USD fee under $500, minimum $50), I would take home $33.06 to $29.59.
Which is 34 to 41% of the total, before tax.
