And are there any you would support if you had just that little bit of extra disposable income?

Safely Endangered

Also supporting other creators through Nebula.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

None, but will probably get a lifetime memmbership on Nebula....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Some of the people I was supporting disappeared. Now it's just a couple creators who are still too small to get algo love. Phedran is great, and if you are into chill gaming, you should check out her streams.

Savannah Brown is the only one atm. considering following CJ The X too

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Paralives! Because fuck EA for ruining The Sims (among many other games), it's time for a good competitor. Plus, they're from my city!

ContraPoints, she only charges on months she produces content- it's not even every month if she isn't productive. Her Tangent videos are worth it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ContraPoints is fantastic, but I have a hard time watching the content if I'm not in the headspace for it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

fair, but her tangents are more varied in topic she has videos on psychedelics, spirituality, the Barbie movie, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Huh, I would like to see that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it's only $2 to get access to all the Tangents, well worth it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm allergic to subscriptions, but I might just consider it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

then I would pay the $2 once to get access, then just grab all the links (they're just private youtube videos) of the tangent videos, and then unsubscribe 🤷‍♀️ not the most ethical, but ... it's still technically feasible

Time Suck and PBS Space Time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Just a few.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I stopped because I’m unemployed currently. But I supported a few 3d artists.

The game "Heat."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Currently Souls Remnant, though only the lowest tier because I am broke

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lions Led by Donkeys! It’s a great podcast for history nerds!

How different is it from WTYP?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I couldn’t tell you unfortunately, as I’ve never listened to WTYP. I’ll be happy to download a couple of episodes to check it out, though!

InRangeTV and A Better Way 2A.

I've met other supporters of both groups, and they've all been pretty cool people.

I'm strongly considering supporting Galen Druke's GD Politics now that FiveThirtyEight has been shuttered.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Special Books by Special Kids. He and his wife interview people with different disabilities and give you a little peek into their lives. Really interesting and inspiring stuff.

Nerd of Mouth // Wizard and the Bruiser

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Right now its just Second Thought, I'm a leftist and love the content he creates. His video on East Palistine is really good and I would recommend it

AnyAustin is one I would consider. I did support OboeShoesGames for a while but he moved more to streams instead of shorter snarky videos.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I tend to avoid subscriptions where I can, so the only time I've ever used Patreon was to access Dankpods' After Show (back when it was exclusive for patrons).

I really should give myself $200 or so to dole out between my favourite creators and open-source projects.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Here's my list, it's fairly random:

lol if someone wants to explain why they downvoted that'd be nice too. lmao.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Besides yahtzee, Frost was the only other guy on second wind producing anything remotely watchable. I unsubbed the moment he left.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yup! Second Wind used to be on my Patreon as well until Frost left.
