If I may be so bold…My two cents

I personally like coming across blogs and whatnot that does older stuff and not just the newest shiny, so that is not what I go for. Rather I like content where the blogger shows some enthusiasm and love for the subject matter, and also I like to see miniatures, models and games that few others blog about.

I find that the “the newest shiny” rapidly gets old if you are not really on the ball and manage to make your content very fast, especially if you are not one of the big blogs that get free preview stuff weeks before their retail release date.

My advice would be to do whatever hobby you enjoy, and specifically not to make content solely because you think that is what your audience want to see. Unless you yourself have a passion for your content, the quality and “feel” of said content will suffer.

When it comes to patreon or a tip jar or such, don’t be ashamed to ask for help to pay for the upkeep. Just be honest about it. It is common enough to have a patreon, and it is up to the reader to decide whether it is worth supporting your content or not.
