I have got extra money to give to content creators I watch and listen to on the Internet. I would like to support them but I am feeling a bit hesitant to use Pateron. Pateron seems to be woke and canceled a few content creators. I don't know how far left they are but kinda give the vibe I _should_ avoid. How are you dealing with donations?

How are you dealing with donations?

Yes - I use Patreon and other donation systems
Yes - I only use Patreon
No - I do not use Patreon, but some other donation system
No - I do not use Pateron, and do not financially support content creators
Fuck You!

I give charity to no one, ever. And I never fill in surveys, like this one.

That's like asking If I've seen your sister naked.

Fuck Patreon. It's a left wing, therefore bullshit, website. However, I do send donations to people with cryptocurrency, which can be converted into real money.

Being a YouTube/Bitchute/Libry/whatever full-time content creator is NOT a job. This is at best a hobby. They aren't running a business and they aren't providing a service that is for sale. They are doing what they are doing to avoid being a legitimate business or employee. These people are taking a shortcut and expecting us to patronize them for being half-ass workers. They are no better than an eThot or other online attention whore (Twitch streamers). I will watch people on these platforms, but I will not support them. Their content isn't valuable enough that they can charge per video to see it, so if they can make it freely available without patronage, then they can do it without patronage altogether. If they don't like that, well then they need to consider another line of work that gives them more financial security. I don't give away money to bums, buskers or homeless people either to remain consistent in my patronage beliefs. Same goes for movies, TV and music. I don't buy that shit either.

I agree the vast majority of content creators are vapid, particularity in the gaming and lifestyle genre.

But there are some folk like Paul Harrell and Luke Smith that educate. I would support them and I know I can give them money outside of Patreon.

You have to remember something that donating is so you can see more of what you like. It has a purpose. Example: There was this YouTube channel that I was subscribed to, and they made high-quality reviews of video games, and there were two guys. Well, they didn't have enough money coming in from YouTube, so one of them had to quit. Now there's one guy flying solo, and he can't do it full time. So, videos don't come out often. If you want to see more, you must pay.
