Don't get too worked up over the criticism Yni. I have always felt that Patreon though prevelent and what people know is a very poor fit for software development. It tends to leave people with the idea that anything short of a steady stream of significant updates is a ripoff. People get disappointed by projects they sponsor or some actual scammers and everytime there is a hiccup in releases people assume the worst.My artist can make a lot more money when he sells his art on twitter
The Patreon business model is very simple - the more you work, the more you earn.
Patreon is meant to provide the financial support and encouragement to promote the development of art. With software people expect tangible results for their money. These two things don't mesh super well. But it is the framework people know and are used to.
Keep up your art at the rate you are comfortable with. If people aren't happy with your output they should just put their support cash elsewhere.
