Open collective is meant for grassroots organizations, and from the looks of it liberapay doesn't allow for patron exclusive content, and is mainly intended for foss devs.
There isn't a good option for artists and content creators.

Can you provide.a source for that please?
The huge portion of revenue you have to give to a corpo for „patron exclusive“ content seems awfully brutal. That and they can change your business model whenever they want. Doesnt sound like a good idea tbh.
Liberapay all the way.
Patreon exclusive content doesn't make sense anyway. it is a donation platform, not a subscription service.
People hate on patreon for getting rid of per-creation billing but did your audience even want it anyway? Having to budget for those occasional months that have 5 paydays in them and thus cost the user 25% more is annoying and I bet they got the feedback that per-month is vastly preferred by their paying customers.
An edge case, but one of the artists I follow is in Ukraine and has not been the most active. I prefer by creation billing because I want to make sure the money goes to her and doesn't just pile up in patreons coffers.
Patreon allowed you to limit how many creations you would pay for in a month
I like it because the person I follow only posts like once a year, and they like it because they don't feel burdened to post more.
Not even per-creation, but the weird system of always paying at the start of the month, instead of just subscribing whenever. It’s stopped me from subbing multiple times because I don’t want to pay double for one week of access.
The singular argument for that system is that it enables creators to pause payments for a month without it fucking up billing for people. I mostly sub to authors, and if they take a month off, the ones not doing the first of the month model have a lot of issues.
