Which patreons do you support financially?
Which patreons do you support financially?
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
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.
+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
- StuffMadeHere
- TropicalTidbits
- AppliedScience
Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can't stop binging it.
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!
Here's my list, it's fairly random:
lol if someone wants to explain why they downvoted that'd be nice too. lmao.
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.

- NerdCubed
- Many A True Nerd
- Jacob Geller
- CGP Grey
- Physics for the Birds
Jon mentioned 👀
Currently just Jeff Gerstmann, my favorite video games journalist
Some More News, Clooos, and Zach Weinersmith (comic artist of SMBC and more)
I support Extra Fabulous Comics and a comic called "The Lost Never Die."
Extra Fabulous never ceases to make me laugh, and The Lost Never Die is a newer comic with an art style that I love.
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.
Honestly none. I don'y have thr expendable income to do that.
If I had, it couled easilly be 50+ youtubers, podcasters open source software devs, ...
Just a few.
DuckDNS
Technology Connections
Safely Endangered
Also supporting other creators through Nebula.
PBS Eons and Wholesome

The Deprogram Podcast
Lions Led by Donkeys! It’s a great podcast for history nerds!
How different is it from WTYP?
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!
I support Infinite Backlog because I want to see that site thrive. Haven't found any other site where I can keep track of my videogame collection as nicely as with IB. That's my only Patreon thingy.
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.
Savannah Brown is the only one atm. considering following CJ The X too
Climate Town
Logseq
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.
TrueAnon
Brutalmoose
YMS
Jim can’t Swim
Casefile
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
Currently Souls Remnant, though only the lowest tier because I am broke
