How much of a monthly contribution are you making to the content creator?
- wcfields 9y agoMe viewing it along with the advertisements
- stupidhn 9y agoThis is nothing against you, I do it too: I find it hard to reconcile people arguing that they love content, and how it's "undervalued" on one hand, then stating that they pay <$1 for the product.
- electroly 9y agoThere's nothing to reconcile. "Spot the hypocrite" is just a form of ad-hominem attack and has no place here. Arguments stand on their own merits. If it's true that YouTube creators are undervalued, then it's still true even if the person who said it doesn't pay at all.
- jerf 9y agoI'm not Taylor_OD, but Patreon's currently running me about $70/month, with a non-trivial fraction of that being Youtube shows. Having occasionally been pitching Patreon to the point that I almost feel like I'm shilling it, I do at least put my money where my mouth is.
- cowpewter 9y agoI back my favorite youtubers on Patreon at somewhere between $1-5 each. My monthly Patreon charge is north of $50 right now. I pay more per month for supporting Youtube content than I do for Hulu & Netflix combined.
