300k worth of rent, food and equipment tho?

tbf i dunno they could be giving away their excess

They're not just one guy though

I dunno how many of them there are but split up among several people that's a respectable living but not exactly gently caress-you money, plus, point of order, Patreon is voluntary donations

I would be very happy if they could live off their donations to the extent they can afford to take trips to Europe (which can be had for under $2k a person)
