It's just enough to be a headache tax-wise, but not enough to be a viable replacement for my dayjob. Something like $50-$200 USD per month. Slow months are less, months where I post bangers are more. Combined with Patreon (consistently $200 per month), it's enough to make all of my hosting costs covered. It's seriously incredible that I can have that much support for not a lot of work. I am also looking at further cost-optimizing things so that I can move my website to something like Fly. My server that my website is hosted on is like 55€ per month and the main reason it needs something that chonky is because Tokio performs better when there's more runner threads.
Otherwise I've also been considering pooling money for a bit and buying a proper server to drop into a datacentre near where I live. That could be fun!
