The reality is that while thousands, even millions, of people might enjoy our work every week, "enjoy" doesn't necessarily translate to "support" in any kind of literal, sustainable sense.
We don't get paid by any of the platforms that we pour hours of our lives into. No passive income streams quietly flowing in while we sleep. There's just... this. Us, making what love and the hope that some of you-just a few-might feel moved to help keep the whole thing afloat.
This isn't a sob story. It's just a reminder that art-any art-doesn't materialize out of air. It comes from the hours and effort of real people who would love to keep creating without interruption. But the truth is, without Patreon we'd be spending those hours doing other things.
Yes, it's awkward to ask for support. But it's also necessary if this whole thing is going to continue being what it is. We're not asking for pity, just for a moment of understanding. Thanks for sticking with us.
