Depends on the channel. I personally like Lazy Game Reviews and think his Patreon's fine (even if I don't put any money into it) because a lot of his videos are genuinely well-researched. It also helps that he has a whole line of general "tech history" videos to supplement the DOS games he covers.

People like you are all talk and no action. That's why you're even worse than the lazy parasites that you're complaining about. At least they're doing something, even if it's profiting from sloth.

What's there to complain about? Why not attack the people who designed the shitty system in the first place instead of the usual parasites who have always existed and will always exist?

It's like seeing a person complain about rain by blaming the rain storm. It's going to rain, whether you like it or not. If you shit yourself in anger over something that you can't control or can't stop, then that's your problem.

Pretty good bait. Higher level mathematics is an absolutely useless field and technical students never use these videos to supplement their own readings.

It's a pretentious scam, like global warming.

Depends on the channel honestly. I'm glad superbunnyhop has one now since he can quit his day job and focus on making analytical/journalistic videos more often. I don't even see the fucking problem with people paying money to someone for any kind of content. This is how the free markets work for god damn neets.

If someone cares enough about the content someone makes, I don't see anything odd about directly supporting them.

>>386946601
This. Especially in current year, where Youtube demonetizes and delists videos for not being "progressive" enough.
Anything that allows an audience to sidestep Google and pay the video creator directly is a good thing. I've never given a penny to any Patreon but I'm glad it exists.
Let's just hope Bunnyhop doesn't go the same route as Matthewmatosis.

>>386949603
Considering how much more content bunnyhop puts out then matosis even before patreon, I don't think it'll be a problem.

Shoutout to Ennui and SteamRolan for requesting this thread on Patreon btw

>>386949596
I kinda don't want to be a shill though.
In the gaming and anime community, it's seen as a mark of slander.
Plus I'm rich, so I don't really care for getting paid. Like, this morning, someone just said ''I'd pay you 5$ per month if you ever opened a patreon'' and that's nice. And it's not the first time either. But, like, I only make youtube videos for fun, even if I am getting relatively popular.

>>386948427
Calm yourself, anon. I was being tongue in cheek. I watch 3Blue1Brown and Vsauce, but since I (like, presumbably most other anons, preseumbably) lack a math education beyond general college credits, I have no real use for the information. Since I lack even a frame of reference, I can't even really appreciate stuff like "2D curves can entirely fill 3D space" beyond "huh. Neat". I recognize they are probably genuinely useful for some people.

I never got this. How does Patreon mean they can make more video games? If I had a Patreon I wouldn't be able to tell my boss "yeah I'm not working Fridays anymore". I don't get it.

>>386950801
Some people hope to earn enough money with Patreon to be able to quit their jobs. That way, they say they can fully concentrate on their channel and produce more videos, but it's an excuse: they churn out the same amount of videos, but now they have a shitton of spare time to waste, earn more money than they ever earned with their shitty job, have no boss, no boring coworkers, and are free to do whatever they want with their day.

They just want to get paid by their fans so they don't have to work for a shitty boss anymore, basically.

If you genuinely love whatever person is producing this content via Patreon, a tiny drop in the bucket won't kill you. If you couldn't care less about them before Patreon, what does it matter after Patreon? Just turn your "Very little reason to care" into "Zero reason to care" and enjoy your life a little more by cutting them out entirely.

>>386953086

Most jobs don't really provide any real value to society. There's a reason why "downsized" is synonymous with "redundancy."

>>386947992

Projared is a pretty good example of that. I can't remember the last time he uploaded a video to his main channel because he diverted all his attention to streaming and LPs.
