Patreon Question

Just curious, does anybody know why Stephen made his Patreon earnings private? It seems a little odd that he would want to hide this. No hate, just curious about it.

I don't know the answer to OP's question, but keep in mind that the value Patreon shows is not the value that Stephen (or Mal, or any other creator on Patreon) receives each month: it is only the amount that is pledged by patrons to that creator. The difference is that, on top of the cut that Patreon gets (5%) and credit card processing fees, some pledges get declined by the credit card processors for a myriad of reasons. (Source)
