The only emails I get are if people directly message me. So I assume so?
Eating Crickets wins! Yay. I can finally find out if it’s as non-appetizing and crunchy as it sounds.
Maybe he can roll the whole “eating crickets” thing into his review of Andy Daly’s Review?
Watch September’s Patreon requests video to find out if Tom gets into a car accident while driving and reading a list and explaining and counter-recommending things. Jeez. This is too tense.
He needs to step up his game and get a helicopter to film those “in the wake of the car” shots to intersperse with his monologue that would show the dust being kicked up behind Tom while he drives pell-mell for Barstow on the edge of the desert.
Long as he doesn’t stop there. That’s bat country.
It does get pretty lonely out there…
It never would have occurred to me a video of me driving was distressful. Sorry about that. But you guys don’t, like, glance at stuff while you’re driving?
By the way, one of my favorite Pinball FX tables, Epic Quest, has the hero saying, “Bat country! Let’s stop here!”
-Tom
It was suspenseful, not stressful! Next time, record the video while taking a bubblebath, with a toaster balanced on the edge of the tub.
This is where the monthly Patreon show goes off the rails, with each episode showing Tom doing some new activity while reading the review requests: mowing the lawn, doing the laundry, making tea, cleaning the bathroom…
It was pretty stressful/distressful for me. You weren’t just glancing at stuff, you were looking at the camera rather than the road a good amount of the time, consulting notes, and maintaining a “conversation”. Not a fan.
…jumping the shark…
Bungee jumping over a shark tank.
If it’s gonna be that kinda party, I’m gonna stick my … mouse pointer on the increase Patreon donation button.
Time to setup cameras all through the house and livestream EVERYTHING baby yeah
Big Brother Armando!
Seems there are Patreon fee changes starting later this month. FYI
If I am reading it right, say you pledge a buck, that buck now with fees cost $1.38 rounded?
The creator will get 95% of that $1, so $0.95 cents while Patreon would make $0.43 cents?
$1 + 2.9% + $0.35
That can’t be right, is my math off? As someone who backs quite a few people at the $1-2 dollar range, I try to stretch the $20 I spend a month on a few people.
It’s not right for Patreon to make almost 45% of the dollar you pledge. That’s outrageous!
That’s ridiculous. It’s begging for an exodus from Patreon implementing something like that on such short notice. Patrons and Creators are going to bolt. You don’t go slapping massive fees on something in that way and act like you’re not going to get a backlash. Jeez.
Greed. And the way to value their own service as deserving 1/3 of what most podcasts creators ask for their lovely content would be hilarious, if I didn’t find it just fucking cynical.
