Krita as a proprietary, for-profit software venture could probably bring in closer to $38k per day, although some of that would have to flow right back out to marketing. Whenever I see someone with a Patreon link, I click just to see how well it's working, and it's far more likely to be $5 per month than $500. It's great to see attempts to monetize creative output more directly instead of subsidizing it via advertising and copyright enforcement, since the creative output is what people actually want, but I don't think anyone has hit on a model that truly works yet (a few notable exceptions notwithstanding).
