RE: Witness Voting, OpenSeed and OpenLink
On top of that, posts are only rewarded by those who choose to spend their own money to tip their authors.
Pa.treon posts are only rewarded by those who choose to spend their own money (on subscriptions) and that seems to be working out pretty well for them!!
While that is certainly true, I hope that you are not trying to compare the content posted on Patreon with the crap posted on Steemit or Whaleshares, or with their overall structures. There is simply no comparison! Neither Steemit nor Whaleshares can ever hope to be even 10% as good as Patreon.
There is some genuinely high-quality-original-content on the steem blockchain.
If the trending page was ranked by actual total contributions from "subscribers" or "contributors" (either by steem-delegations or direct transfer tips or some combination) instead of the current metric of "free upvotes", then I believe the rankings would be a much better indication of quality.
Perhaps! But what sets places like Patreon above and beyond those like Steemit and Whaleshares, is the fact that they are NOT based on the blockchain concept, but rather are moderated so as to keep unacceptable content, like porn and other such stuff off their sites. No forum that allows the posting of porn (other than porn sites themselves) has ever succeeded.
And secondly, places like Patreon do not allow down-voting, therefore authors and their posts can not be destroyed by hateful members who seek nothing more than revenge as do many Steemit witnesses.
And then of course, there is the Steemit witness system. Such places are doomed to failure before they even begin, because they are really nothing more than disguised ponzi schemes.
Is nudity allowed on Patreon?
Nudity and the human body has been part of art since the very beginning of our history. It is so intertwined that we would never even think to ask whether or not the “David” would be allowed on Patreon.
Nudity is allowed on Patreon as long as it is flagged accordingly:
If you are planning on posting nudity on your page, please mark your page as adult content. The same logic applies if your project changes with time. You can read more about how to mark yourself as an adult content creator here: Should my creator page be marked as adult content?
Content with mature themes should be marked as “Patron Only”. This means that you cannot post nudity in public areas including your profile picture, banner, tier images or about me section.

"Is nudity allowed on Patreon?"
There is a big difference between nudity and pornography!
"Nudity is allowed on Patreon as long as it is flagged accordingly"
Again, there is a big difference between nudity and pornography!
These are excerpts from Patreon's Terms of Service...
"Pornography and sexual services:
We don't allow pornographic material or sexual services on Patreon, which we define as "real people engaging in sexual acts such as masturbation or sexual intercourse on camera.""
"You cannot use Patreon to provide access to pornographic material such as giving access to a website or shared private access to pornographic creations whether on Patreon or on any other platform. Pornography is defined as real people engaging in sexual acts such as masturbation or sexual intercourse on camera."

Apparently, drawings and animations of such activity are allowed.
AND, even highly suggestive borderline scandalous content is allowed on yo.utubz.
It would appear that @themarkymark is no longer a Steemit witness. His witness account was disabled yesterday.
Zoiks!
