SubscribeStar is better for Content Creators IMO. It's also US based according to Google.
The reason they don't use Paypal/Stripe anymore is because certain banks have elected not to do business in the Adult Entertainment sector (Stupid... I know... Money is money.). Paypal/Stipe does business with these banks don't wan to lose their business. Something similar happened with OnlyFans. Content Creators aren't allowed to accept payments with certain banks. Someone I know had to create an entirely new bank account just to complete OF registration. It's all very political and nonsensical IMO.
Unlike Patreon, SubscribeStar has elected to protect Content Creators rather than bend over backwards to appease Paypal/Stripe and their Banking Overlords. They are far less likely to ban creators over pixels and are far less strict when it comes to content they allow on their site. Certain things are still a Hard NO (You can guess what those are.) But for the most part they are far more lax and better for Content Creators in general.
No one wants to spend a year or more working on a project only to have some loser complain about Incest (Something Patreon doesn't allow and has banned Creators for before.) to Patreon and have their account banned. That's why you see all this Landlady/Roomate nonsense as the default... With SubscribeStar you don't have to worry about that. Because that genre isn't something they'll ban you for. They are very relaxed when it comes to pixels/fiction.
The best thing we can do to support Creators we want to support is abandon Patreon and look for alternatives.
