Patreon stuff (Patreon)

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but you can also see that I went from 40 patrons to around 10 since November started. I thought it's just that people need to be processed again, but seemingly, this is not the case.

Does anyone knows how this stuff works? I mean I would still do art even with this many supporters, but it is really discouraging to see that people abandoned me like this...
