You're only half right. Of course, Ocean doesn't have to lick my ass, I don't give him money, but he should lick the asses of his Patreons and do it with great diligence. But he often acts stupidly and instead of pleasing those who provide him with money, Ocean starts pleasing those who he doesn't need at all (for example, the company from which he bought music).
By the way, regarding the fall on Patreon, Ocean caused it when he treated his fans badly, and he could have avoided their departure and all the negativity.
P.S. A huge number of new fans from Steam are not able to stop the fall in the rating on Patreon, if you think this is a trifle, then I'm not going to convince you otherwise.
