Yep, currently around 200 patrons at $1153 per month total.

Compare that to, for example, the top 200 "adult" (porn) projects on Patreon: https://graphtreon.com/patreon-creators/adult-games

One example would be DarkCookie with "SummerTime saga", a "dating sim" at around $50,000 US.

Or another example at 769 patrons and $2,287 per month: "Porn Empire is a simulation/management with light RPG elements where you play as an amateur porn producer. Start small, shoot amateur porn and as you progress, you earn more money, buy better equipment, pick up better girls and train them"

If people really cared they would have signed up. But the proof is in the pudding. What people really care about is totally different from what they say publicly. What they really care about, apparently, if you follow the money, is interactive cartoon porn.

I wonder if Patreon would consider diverting a small amount of the porn money to worthy causes like Linux Journal.
