ok my monthly wage is something like 250 dollars and my wife's wage 400 dorrars. And almost all of my wage is gone to food,bills and rent. And i live in a small town(rural mostly with farming communit and such). All of our wages are landing into our accounts with tax cuts(due to wife working in goverment). So that leaves me with couple of bucks left in my wallet each month(which i spend on pc games or patreon backing OR BOOZE).
Well let me cut to the chase, when you are working you cant just take your time and not deliver what is expected of you each month. I mean sure hatereon is a simple semi-freelancer support stuff but then again 3k+ money is pretty ok in terms of maintaining 1st worlder life in a 1st world country. Which leads me to this question: Even if they work 6h per work day they SHOULD be able to deliver some amount of content each month. Instead hatereon devs are using the site as side job opportunity and maintain their RL jobs.
TL;DR: i dont think money is an issue here for the devs
