As you say, it's usually a paltry amount. I doubt that many make a a decent living off of this let alone enough to pay support staff such as editors and the like. The biggest issue is the free rider one... why should I pay you when others will pay and I'll get the same benefit. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do (I personally voluntarily contribute to several podcast creators who I like) but it's reality.

- chadash 7y agoI saw an article that about 2% of Patreon patronees make above federal minimum wage which is still way below a living wage. There are a tiny handful who make a lot, but for the most part this isn't a model that is working for people who want this to be their main source of income.
