It's interesting to see how it all sorts out. I've never seen a picture of how the fees work.
One of Patreon's founders, Jack Conte, is half of Pomplamoose and used Patreon to finance a tour for the band - I think the main reason he started Patreon. In the interests of transparency, he published an account of how they'd spent the money and got lots of online flack over it from people who didn't have a clue what it took to put together and conduct a tour.
I'm not going to be concerned how my pittance will be spent. I'm sure it will all be spent wisely. If Sprite suddenly sports a new tiara, I'll only assume it's her just due :)
