Well...if you subtract Patreon's fee, payments from Patreons that fall through and further assume that he really is paying taxes on his income, it leaves him with around ~1.4k Euros or so per month.The creator is collecting 3500/month so that would be like cutting off his nose to spite his face and a foolish business decision.
While this is surely a livable single household income, even in Germany (especially for a student), it's not really a lot. Especially if he gets his diploma. Entry level academia jobs in Germany easily pay twice as much.
...and what's probably a lot more important: despite all, these jobs are a lot more reliable than depending on Patreon which may obliterate your livelihood in a flash with the next update to their TOS.
