In the "real world" right now, there is global instability, fuel & housing prices have been the highest we have seen in our lifetime, the prices for food and goods have increased significantly, a lack of baby formula in the US, and all while the living wage has not increased. People are beginning to tighten their belts, and cut out the non-essentials such as mani/pedis, Starbucks, cable TV and streaming services (Netflix has seen a huge reduction in subscribers), and eating out. In Fanny's mind, her Patrons adore her, and aren't going anywhere. One would THINK she'd be a little more apt to put some thought and real work into her content and communications with them to keep them so they would feel they are getting something for their money, but Fanny is entitled. I suspect she's in for a really rude awakening when the cards start to fall. All of the Chateau owners who rely on these platforms are going to feel it, if they are not already. Some will be fine (Fleuries have sponsors, a successful B&B, and used the Patreon monies for their major renovations, Billy and Gwen- Gwen is the SAF yeast heiress, and Billy has plans to rent out the convent apartments once they are completed, Simon & Viv at Chateau Love- who are already wealthy and own multiple other properties), but for others, it will be a struggle.
