I think we need a website that hosts content and uses advertising as a way to generate income for content creators and also has a donate button.

Except that if you do anything mature for the most part, you have to be careful or Youtube will prevent you from making money off of it, and in general advertisers and anyone who deals with money is incredibly hesitant about dealing with adult material because it has an abnormally high rate of being reported as a false purchase.
Artists don't need to give you a free option, though you may want one. Sometimes you just gotta either give them some cash so they have support or go without. It makes the content when you do get it feel more valuable. And videos take a lot of time and resources to make.
