Patreon lays off 13% of workforce
Especially while unemployment is paying $2400/month on top of your normal payment. Many workers are better off just being temporarily laid off and getting a pay raise.

$2400/month is less than $30k/year. I highly doubt any of the people getting laid of from Patreon are getting a raise by going on unemployment.

$2400/month is the
amount on top
of your unemployment pay. Maximum in WA state puts you at $55k/year with the bonus amount.

Depends on the initial pay. Not everyone on the Internet is making $150k.

Not sure how you can know that. Lot of support roles probably make less than that.
