> Several podcasts I listen to are killing their $2/$3 tiers as it doesn't make them any money

Am I missing something here? The cut that Patreon gets is 5-12% of revenue and processing payments for 2-3$ are 5% + 10c. At worst, she's getting $2.2 for every $3/m user.

I think there are other fees but I couldn't find them. Sure so that's $22,000 once if everyone (10k) is $3 tier patreon and goes for one month. For someone who can't work, and then there's taxes. With just federal they're down to $15k for that month. Yeah that's nice, but that's what being nice is. Does that keep going, likely no. And that's max, not including local taxes, etc.

Are they rolling in it, no not at all. I'm not sure what your point is, they don't think they can work, it's been going on for a bit, they get a nice community pay out ... do people live on less, yes definitely. But she didnt' win the lottery here.
