If I remember correctly he is a Finnish guy living in Finland. There the minimal monthly salary for an 8hr job is around 1200€. But the median is around 4000€. What he gets on patreon now is 886€ minus what patreon removes before paying out (i have no idea). So it isn't much for the country he is living in, but still he got in the last two years around 19200€ for 208h of total work (2 streams/week for an 1hr). Which is a 92€/h salary.
But I know, I should go and f*** myself questioning the great and mighty MD, because he is "working on V3, even with hurt feelings."
Disregarding the fact that he lives in Finland, which frankly is punishment enough, who cares about how much money he makes from people who most likely don't care that he's not constantly working on it? It's not like it's his job or anything, it's just a side hustle that people decide to monetarily support. That's what separates him from the typical Patreon grifter: he doesn't compose himself as "I'm making [product], give me money so I can continue making it", and then turn around and take the money and run, he just does what he wants -- and if people give him money, that's their prerogative. This sort of psycho logic of "well if he makes x dollars across y timeframe, we can use the formula f(z)= √[(x/y)^2] to determine how many z discrete labor units he makes, and since presently z is CLEARLY less than the prescribed minimum of (z/12)+log(10)x builds per month, he's officially scamming everyone and should be reported to Interpol for this offense", you inevitably come off as overtly entitled, because he's just indulging in a personal project and is electing to share it with others, not trying to make a career out of it. Your overt concern with his income makes you look like you think he's grabbing the cash out of your wallet and blowing it all on sports cars, and then proceeding to laugh at your face before making out with a hot girl from Alpha Centauri while going 120 through a red light in Downtown Brooklyn. That's why he's offended: people are building an idea of who he is in their heads and proceeding to assign expectations, and then go and lash out at him when he doesn't fit to the standards that he had no idea could even be manifested by any individual who knew anything about him. And, since him apparently not compromising the integrity of the project by rushing it out for a bunch of vocal nobodies is their problem, why not just step back until their throats get raw so he can continue in peace?
But if you'd like to have a quickie with one of your clones, by all means, I'm not stopping you.
P.S. you can say fuck on the internet. There is far more horrendous stuff on this forum than a single curse word.
Ninja edit: this is the first essay I've typed out on this website. I hope you're honored to have made me manifest this.
