I think every other artist, creator or more generally, independent worker in the world also has all of those costs you mention, and a big chunk of them aren't making anywhere near 7.5k/month. Not that I think it is "too much" or anything like that, please support the arts, but I can see the OP's point regarding it already being a nice sum that she's getting for her most excellent work.
- eXpl0it3r 9y agoMany if not most artists and creators also make use of sponsorship and selling merch and physical copies of their work. Just comparing Patreon numbers doesn't really mean anything. Who knows, maybe vihart also ears quite a bit of money from other activities...
- leoc 9y agoHart is offering some merch too: https://store.dftba.com/collections/vi-hart https://store.dftba.com/collections/vi-hart . I think physical goods are or were a significant part of her revenue plans, though I don't know how that's working out. Unlike a lot of other Patreon creators she is apparently trying to live full-time on her creative/featured/sponsorable output without a day-job to supplement it.
