This is suspicious as fuck.
This guy comes from out of nowhere, saying he quit his job at Patreon to start a music career, and gets 2,400 subscriptions in just over a week. Most of the commenters are saying someone named Jarvis sent them.
In the video, he has nothing but praise for Cunty and the rest of the Patreon team. So why quit your job to gamble on a music career if you liked it there so much?
He still has a Patreon link in the description, which would ordinarily make me not share the video if I didn't find the circumstances so peculiar.
The timing of this smells like a PR stunt to salvage Patreon's reputation. I'm gonna dig into this Jarvis person next and see how he's connected to Patreon.

Jarvis Johnson, another Patreon engineer with a bro crush on Cunty. How surprising.

2:40 aaand, there's the pro lighting and the immaculate set.
Patreon really shouldn't be spending what's left of their money on this kinda shit.

Good catch. A lot pf people commented on how professionally made the video was. I was too busy reading the comments while listening to notice.
Oh, this is rich. Now Amazon are showing their unwashed arses.
David Pakman was using Amazon Pay in addition to Patreon. Amazon decided that Pakman's use of Patreon constituted soliciting charitable donations rather than accepting subscriptions to a commercial service. Apparently they didn't bother to find out what Patreon is actually for? Since Pakman is allegedly taking charitable donations without being a registered non-profit, Amazon cancelled his Amazon Pay account and is withholding his patrons' funds for 90 days.
Did I mention that the same sellers that are on Amazon are also on Ebay? And how Ebay sellers don't fuck around for a week before they ship your stuff like they do on Amazon? And how they don't leave your stuff unattended on the front porch where it can be stolen like Amazon does?

Well yeah but I mean let's not forget eBay and PayPal were practically synonymous for like the first 20 years of their existence.
Ebay and PayPal haven't been affiliated for several years now. And individual sellers don't tend to get up to the same fuckery as big tech regardless.

Yeah that's why I said "the first" years of their existence...
LOL.
But anyway, whatever dude.
All the big sites are going to pot and it's all going to be swept out.
I think that much is obvious by now.
They're all old as shit anyway.
Ebay is still good for cheap Chinese electronic parts, Laserdiscs, and certain vintage items. And it's a good alternative to Amazon for rare vintage books, since the same sellers are on both platforms. They haven't seemed interested in sticking their nose into people's politics either.

eBay is definitely my selling platform of choice.
Seth DeMoor doesn't want to monetize his channel through Patreon. He asks fans who want to donate to instead recruit one new subscriber per month to his channel.
Blonde in the Belly of the Beast posted a video this week titled "How Should We Fight Censorship?"
She's still accepting Patreon donations, so I'm not gonna share the video here.
While she acknowledges that we need to defeat leftist censorship in one swift blow, she completely misses the obvious fact that it'll never happen without solidarity. Continuing to use Patreon is not showing solidarity with deplatformed YouTubers. Moreover, by not putting her money where her mouth is, she meets my definition of a THOT.
Thank God our resident blonde and supreme Webmistress has more sense than the average blonde.

I always wanted to BITBOTB to be... successful, or promising. I never could stand to watch her, but I was hoping she'd go on to do great things. At this juncture in the unraveling of Patreon et al, it's easier than ever to jump ship and delete your page. Maybe it would have been harder in the beginning, to be one of the first. The fact that she's still not willing to do it at this point just makes me glad I never watched her shit. There's no excuse to keep supporting Patreon... especially as a channel with ideological views that they would be so glad to get rid of but just can't right now because they're under so much heat already. Patreon will be totally dead long before they finishing slowly weeding out voices they don't agree with.
She even had a big Patreon logo at the end of the video where she asks for support. Basically advertising for the enemy while wondering how to defeat them. I found that the most sickening part of all.
She must be in denial that she won't be one of the next YouTubers to get purged.

These THOTs have more beta orbiters than you think.
She'll find out who the true believers are when she hits the wall.

That's like yet another reason not to even start out building something which depends on your looks...
This is unavoidable when using a video platform, unless none of your videos actually have YOU in them.
Which, BTW, my most enjoyable YouTube channel didn't have me in any of the videos... LOL! I didn't even enjoy the channel I made which used my image in the videos. I mean I thought the shit was funny, but... meh. I just really cannot say anything about it besides "meh".
For the first decade+ of my internet fun, I basically never even associated my image with myself. There were a handful of times I actually showed my photo or appeared on video. I had a lot more enjoyable connections with people then than I do now.
I'm not saying that I'm gonna pull down my avatar tomorrow and just never even bother with associating my image again... but I will say that I've found it wholly useless to show the internet what I even look like.
And this early experience with the internet proved to me unequivocally that (at least in my case) showing one's image in no way correlates with important connections and meaningful sharing of enriching information.
Everyone will get old and ugly... there is absolutely no wisdom in building any type of framework around appearance. That isn't something which is built on a stable foundation... it's a short term "get it quick" scheme, not a longterm plan. Anything that isn't a longterm plan is a total waste of time IMHO.

Actually, I started my YouTube channel solely to inspire people to vote for Donald Trump... that's the God's honest truth.
The mission of putting in my 2 cents to elect Donald was soon accomplished thereafter and the channel became almost entirely useless to me... aside from the occasional "OMG this would be so retarded!" idea which inspired me to make like 10 videos or something.

Right? Nobody cared what you looked like. The exchange of ideas was what was important.
When the idiot invasion came, the first sentence out of everyone's mouth was: "Got a pic?"
I should've known then the Internet was gonna go to shirt.

Yep... we're going back to that sort of paradigm.
I know it sounds hard to believe, and to these vapid morons who have to post 50 selfies a day, it probably sounds like an unimaginable nightmare, LOL!
They will be no loss, that's all I'm saying.
