This translates to fewer Patreon subscribers which means less opportunity and funding to create high quality videos

If there’s an algorithm to game, and money to be made, I don’t see how that’s any different to self promotion. Boil it down and all that’s happening is you are performing an action, so that more people see you, in the hopes that some of them will give you money.

The lack of an algorithm is a feature, I don’t want content I havent explicitly asked for to be shown.
