Basically, Patreon did a survey of creators and fans or people using its service. I can tell you a bit about it. It's a little bit different places. I don't know how interesting it would be. So they surveyed 1,007 creators, of whom 685 had between 10,000 and 2 million fans, and about 10 had over 2 million fans and followers. I won't say followers, actually, because I think fan...
