Patreon may change the dynamics of Open Source and Free Software in unexpected ways.
When you're working unpaid on a hobby, you can easily justify telling demanding users to "Pull request or GTFO."
But if you're earning a living wage... don't you have more of an obligation to listen to your "clients"?
Does it matter if the user complaining has paid? What if some other user paid, expecting you to have more time for "boring user request" in general?
@HerraBRE even if there is no moral obligation, you still may feel a need to listen to the paying users. After all, what if they threaten to pull their monthly funding?
Same for the follow-up question: It might be, that those who pay more, get listened to more.
There are probably several stacks of game theory lectures on this somewhere: Is it worth to slightly inconvenience 500 1$-Users in order to please the one 500$-User. The risk that they all go is slimmer than that for the 1.
