I believe that IF You would start Your Patreon it wouldn't hurt anyway. There will be people who are interested in Your projects.
I am also a potencial supporter. Just gotta start making a living for myself and may as well, at some point, start supporting Your projects.
And if You feel that You want to continue doing that - Absolutely, the more we see that You pour love into Your projects, the more people will keep supporting You or start supporting You. Start is hard, I know.
Anyway, hope You have a good day. :)
