I hope you can stay afloat using other platforms. Paetreon is a great place for people to make monthly donations, especially if you have subscriber only content.
Of course, I ran right to steemit to find you. I make the Patreon suggestion because many use it in addition to the other platforms they're using.
In the past 2 months, two of my youtubers opened accounts on Patreon and within days they had incomes of 7000 and 10,000 dollars as monthly incomes from Patreon. I believe you have enough fans to do the same.
I love Steemit, but multiple platforms work well.
So sorry for this trouble from youtube!
