Patreon and SteemIt
 

Does anyone know these relativelty new social networks? Patreon and SteemIt seem to be quite new and orientated towards people in the creative field (eg artists)

But how do they work? Are they reliable?

Has any of you ever tried them? I read the Wikipedia articles about them, but I won't claim I totally understand the system and what sets them apart from other social networks that "creative people" use to promote their work and network.
