While I like that they have writing and painting as "cash cows" if you would, I think it's silly sometimes because in real life, those are the people struggling.
Looks like you don't know about Patreon, some artist get lots of money just because fans don't want them to stop existing in the art world, just one of many samples: https://www.patreon.com/sakimichan , just look the amount of money per 2 weeks... that's just one part of the money, then you need to add commissions, paid work from people, because the Patreon donations are just that, people who want to throw money to them because they like what they do, so is extra money, but yeah, they still do some work to keep people interested, but like I said is extra money aside from they normal work and commissions, there are several people like that, more than you think. So no, they can be cash cows in real life too, lol
Patreon is silly. It allows everybody and his grandmother to be modern leeches. I subscribed on Twitch to a LPer, because I liked what he was doing... got an email from him pointing me to his Patreon, his wife's and his mother-in-law, next to asking me to subscribe to their Twitches too. I'm like, 'Go get a real job, you plumming plum made of plum.'
Gotta donate on patreon so that he can do a Let's Drunk? What am I? Sick in the head? LOL
If I'm ever inclined to support someone on Patreon, they better be extremely good at what they do and create original works (art, composing, choreography).
