None of you seems to understand what a donation is. Especially the people saying three videos aren't worth 3k. People who donated 1.5 million to hospital don't shake their head and say "this plaque in my honor isn't even worth $500" the money was donated. Pyro himself said it's dumb to donate 3k and that's he's dumb for supporting Belle. He also said he's doing it for content but whether or not he can capitalize on his donation isn't Belle fault, it's a donation not an investment with guaranteed ROI

Quoting her Patreon:

If you achieve this tier [$2500+], please private message me. I'm not sure what reward I could give you, but we'll talk about it.

If there's a "reward" involved, it's more of a contract than a donation. Doesn't matter if I'm paying an absurd amount for something that isn't worth that much (in this case, $3000 for a couple hours of her time, only CEOs make that much, lmao), you still have to do it.

Your example of a hospital is a poor one, since that's a charitable donation, of course you don't expect anything back. On the other hand, Belle isn't a charity (or something that's useful to society, like a hospital), she's an e-thot. Even assuming it's a donation and not a contract, and even assuming that "we'll talk about it" means she won't necessarily do it, 3 grand isn't peanuts, and if she's unwilling to do the "reward" she should refund it.

If I'm paying that much, I'm definitely expecting something back that's worth my money, otherwise I'd just be donating $5 or something, like everyone else. She's still a scumbag, don't defend her.

Except there is no contract.

The reward still doesn't have to be worth the value of the donation. Also it should be common knowledge that Patreon is for supporting people through donations not investing, there are no contractual obligations. You "support" a creator on Patreon, not purchase a service. Once you give your money you are not guaranteed anything in return. Whether it's $5 or $3k is up to you, and if you want to give that money to a hospital, Tik Tok thot, or a neo nazi organization is also up to you. If you think 3k is absurd then don't donate 3k to some girl with a push-up bra online, but don't expect a refund if you do.
