How much are they pulling in? What is Patreon's cut? and what country(in other words tax burden) do the creators live in. For instance if they live in America there are federal taxes and in many states , state taxes. In foreign countries they would likely still pay a federal(USA Tax being Patreon is a US entity) and also pay some type of tax in the country they live in. If we know and I would presume someone does at least on the first two questions ,that would answer quite a lot. If we knew where Mity(artist and coder) hales from then the last question may be answerable as well. Obviously I am grasping at a theory that may have no relevance to the current delays being the reason stated is basically in a nut shell burn out. None the less I am curious about these questions.
Prior to them hiding their numbers, they were making $24,000/month. Patreon takes 5% as I understand it(they shouldn't have payment processing fees as an old creator, but I'm not sure), so that comes out to $22,800. They're a team of two, which means they each made around $11,400/month, or over $136,000/year. If that's even close to accurate, then they absolutely don't need other jobs.
