Let's look at what Evan's offering on his Patreon
Name in file in repository, $10 * 88 = $880
Name top of file in repo, $50 * 5 = $250
Small company logo in file in repo, $100 * 6 = $600
Medium company logo in file in repo, $250 * 0 = $0
Company logo on homepage and Github project: $500 * 11 = $5,500
Company logo on homepage, Github, and in documentation: $2,000 * (limited to one sponsor) = $2,000
So companies are paying for 80% + of the Vue.js income, and the more expensive options with better exposure are in fact more popular than the cheaper ones. To a company, the difference between paying $100 or $500 a month is not worth worrying over, but a direct link from a project page (700k+ impressions per month) is clearly valuable.
Evan should offer more than a single top tier slot, he could have 5 * $4000 instead of 1 * $2000. And why not add a new top-tier for 5-6 figures. If you don't ask, you'll never get it.
