Patreon Audience Graph • Social Signal

Patreon's top 10 nearest neighbors span news publishers, general-interest websites, a restaurant brand, a tech personality, a film studio, and a non-profit — no single subcategory dominates, and no other crowdfunding or creator-platform website appears in the set except Kickstarter at 0.84.

The shape is broad: scores run from 0.90 down to 0.85 with no sharp drop-off, and the subcategory mix is genuinely eclectic. Telegraph Breaking News leads at 0.90, followed by ArchDaily at 0.87 and Raw Story at 0.86 — both general-interest websites. Eat24, a restaurant brand, sits at 0.86, and Noah Everett, a tech personality, at 0.86. News publishers account for three of the top 10 — Guardian News at 0.86, Guardian Tech at 0.85, and Al Arabiya English at 0.85 — alongside Amazon Studios (film studio, 0.85) and GLAAD (non-profit, 0.85). The dominant subcategory in the top 10 is News Publishers (three entries), but websites (three entries, counting Patreon's own subcategory peers) run nearly even with them. No single cluster owns this neighborhood.

What the broad shape reveals is an audience that moves fluidly across digital media, independent journalism, and tech-adjacent content — a generalist online profile rather than one anchored to any particular vertical.
