And are there any you would support if you had just that little bit of extra disposable income?
Too many …
Mostly educational channels. I have to go and sort some out again … I’m above $100 per month …
Fucking Champ here
Defunctland and Technology Connectios. I just really want those dudes to keep making stuff. A 2 hour documentary on the history and merits of the FastPass system at Disneyland or how a dishwasher works is soooooo my cup of tea.
+1 for Technology Connections <3
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!
DuckDNS
Technology Connections
Safely Endangered
Also supporting other creators through Nebula.

That’s a lot of youtube
I really hate monthly subscriptions. The only two I could justify are my $5/m VPN and 3/m discord just bc I used it so much.
Recently I changed discord to $1 to Wikipedia, $1 to archive.org, $1 to Lemmy. It’s not a lot but gives me peace of mind.Surprises me that people pay for discord. Were there features you used that were (worth) paid?

Not many. I had to stop myself or else my list would look like remon’s.
I love Bobby Fingers!
+1000 for Bobby Fingers. Clearly you have good taste.
Civvie has some great stuff if you’re into arena/arcade style shooters. His Blood review is classic
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.
ContraPoints is fantastic, but I have a hard time watching the content if I’m not in the headspace for it.
fair, but her tangents are more varied in topic she has videos on psychedelics, spirituality, the Barbie movie, etc.
Huh, I would like to see that.
it’s only $2 to get access to all the Tangents, well worth it
I’m allergic to subscriptions, but I might just consider it.
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
PBS Eons and Wholesome
Zero. I hate subscriptions. Idc what it’s for.
I personally think that’s valid. Do you ever make one-time donations?
Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can’t stop binging it.

Jon mentioned 👀
AnyAustin is one I would consider. I did support OboeShoesGames for a while but he moved more to streams instead of shorter snarky videos.
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.
Currently just Jeff Gerstmann, my favorite video games journalist
