How do sites like Patreon get away with copyright infringement?

So many youtube reactors post only 10 minutes of movie footage as fair use and point to sites like Patreon to watch their full-length reactions, but how is that not a copyright infringement? Does paywalling copyrighted content let them get away with it?

Youtube’s copyright enforcement mechanism is stricter than it technically needs to be, because it’s easier to enforce that way. They have a big database of copyrighted content and if any videos match it then they’ll automatically demonetize them or take them down. Patreon doesn’t have this system, they only take content down when they actively receive a request from the copyright holder.
