i get the feeling her patreons come and go..the lowest ones i guess..she always finds new niches..like channel 4 and through other media to get people convinced to sign up..most of them stop after a few months i guess...there is a die hard group though..but in the end the massive pond dries out..untill then she shall keep the renovations on her farmhouse at a alow cost..and keeps the rest on the bank..as an escape route..She probably has reached the critical mass of patreons, which leads them to self-assure each other that they are a fabulous and generous group of people. They are in their echo chamber, and immune to criticism (which they can't see anyway, thanks to the one thing SJ & Co can do well: delete). I expect the numbers will increase, especially if the panelling is finished... but how long can she exploit that achievement?
she knows damn well how much it costs...playing a dumb fake blond is also an art...She should have asked her parents who allegedly hat several manor houses renovated
