@Blothulfur I think that was a very inapropriate post. He recently stopped working for the escapist and is now working full time on YouTube and other private stuff on his website and podcast as I understand it and Patreon is just a way for fans of his content to support him directly. I see nothing wrong with that. There are twitch subscriptions, but no YouTube subscriptions yet. If you don't like his content, don't subscribe, easy as that. People that do though are doing it out of their free will.
In the end it is just supply and demand and apparently more people want to watch him and see more of his content than they care for a homeless person. Might not be fair, but that is the way it is. And his waist size has nothing to do with it, if you would only be allowed to get additional money if you need it, we would have plenty of people who would never get paid another day in their lives...
