Oh boy. @LordKaT, comments?

I did a podcast about this and Wu yesterday. Someone should link it here.

TL;DR: Nash is a little baby that can't actually properly plan a business or diversify his income. He should stop doing Radio Shit Air and go back to being a nurse where he'll have infinitely more stability and income security.

Risk is an impossible concept for a feeble mind.

That graph actually becomes pretty unimpressive when you click Start at Zero. Of all the true lolcows I follow, Zoe has been hit about the least. No idea why.

If you want to see some real salt, watch the ratking. There is nothing quite like a platoon-sized mob of six-foot-four musclefrogs bawwwling in falsetto.
 
So is Nash part of a Rat King or something? I know he has reasons to whine, but all the same...

Nash is surprisingly one of the closest to it as far as Channel Awesome peeps go. The only ones who were closer were Team Nostalgia Chick, who pretty much were all in touch with Anti-GG's usual suspects and ergo some of the most infamous rats in the Rat King - Laurelai (Olson), Nyberg (Todd), et al.

This is turning into a very good Christmas season.

I don't know who this is, but if what they say is true then Patreon isn't cucking out and the changes are staying:

Like someone said before Paypal probably told them to jump if they wanted to keep existing and Patreon asked how high. No amount of shrieking from dangerhairs is gonna override Paypal.

If Patreon's own statements can be trusted, they really didn't need their arm twisted that hard. They may have even invited Paypal in for a cut of the pie simultaneously to avoid their possible money laundering problems as well as to get rid of the troons and other useless "creators."

"We'd rather have our GMV be made up of fewer, but truly life-changed creators rather than a lot of creators making a few dollars."

Jacques is one of the King Bees in the S/J/W circle jerk, since he's been drawing a super S/J/W webcomic called "Questionable Content" for over 10 years. It's chock full of every SocJus stereotype, and the art and writing is mediocre, but since he caters to troons and rainbow-haired whales, they throw $10,000 a month at him.

As for Jack Conte, the dude looks like the quintessential hipster beanpole. I can imagine he's frothing at the mouth to go on Twitter, repeal the changes, and prostrate himself before Zoe Quinn, but he's being held down by the rest of the staff at Patreon who want to continue earning a paycheck.

Took one look at that twitter avatar of his and somehow knew he'd be this type of person. Good to know though.

So unlike virtually every other hipster using the site for welfare he managed to work for the site. I'd laugh if he quit out of protest.

In a video I saw this week I think a $10 donation to a creator would earn Patreon one 35c fee. I think 10 x $1 donations would earn them $3.50.

I don't know if those fees are accurate, but if they are anywhere close to the truth then they would be absolute idiots to want to push their patrons to make higher donations.

The Patreon CEO comes across as someone just that retarded.

That's what they'd gross, not what they'd net.

"they've historically shut out of other avenues for financing creative endeavors"

Translation: "we don't want real jobs but still want to make vanity project"

Unless of course Nyberg meant "they are shut out of" in which case someone should remind dear Sarah that pedos aren't a "marginalized group."

He was a Nurse? Like, RN?! The fuck, he could have moved to certain places and made a shit ton of money.

I know a nurse, from what she tells me, the job can be very stressful and you need to keep up your certification. I doubt Nash has kept up his.
