How do sites like Patreon get away with copyright infringement?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Sites have to take down user-contributed infringing content *when the copyright owner reports it*. The paywall makes it more difficult to see, and therefore more difficult to repost.
