Milking is an abhorrent phrase in this context. I think people need reminding of what Patreon is some times.
Patreon is about Supporting. Every penny that a dev takes from patreon is a donation from people who want to support their work. No Patron is being held at gunpoint and forced to give money and they can stop at any time.
It is no secret that some of the more popular devs have a knack of making it look like they are doing more than they really are, but people still support them because they enjoy their work.
You would have to be a colossal moron to give up your full time job and make patreon your only source of income, because in the blink of an eye it can all disappear, as some of the more popular devs are now discovering.
