That got me curious, and since I recently did a check on Moviebob's Patreon stats, I figured it's as good a time as any to post an update on ol' Johnny Boy's. Here's his stats from the past year:

Continuing his long, slow slide to zero, down about $150 a month from this time last year. At this point, the majority of the movement seems to be people forgetting about their donations and having them run until their cards expire, with the occasional "why am I still donating to this shambling ghoul?" realization thrown in. Very rarely is there any amount of uptick, and it doesn't last.
We obviously can't tell how much each patron is donating, but I did find something interesting when I examined the drops in dollar amounts whenever he lost a patron. Frequently, these drops are only a dollar, sometimes two, and rarely more than that. But that suggests to me the average patron is only donating a buck or two, below the per-patron average of $3.88 on Graphtreon. Even assuming that there are still a few die-hards that are forking over more than that, I wouldn't be surprised if John's still inflating his own Patreon with Frank's money, possibly to the tune of $50-$100. Again, can't prove it, but it's food for thought.
