I understand why Watcher wants to try and pull a Dropout TV, I do, advertisers suck etc, but if you want $6 a month from me to watch a glorified youtube channel, I'm gonna need Ryan and Shane to start a weekly DnD game like that's the only thing that could convince me to get yet another fucking subscription service in my rotation lol.

Sorry, still not over this. Been turning it in my head like a rotisserie chicken all day and I cannot fathom how they thought this was a good idea. If they cant afford the high production costs of their content, 1) uhh find ways to lower your production costs until you can afford the kind of content you aspire to make, 2) why not do a tiered youtube subscription and say hey we need some help?? People would have fuckin jumped on it to keep the channel alive.

I'm sorry but 2.9 mil subs on youtube is just not 'start my own streaming service' numbers, its just not. Honestly I don't think it warrants a staff of like 23 people either when the vast majority of fans would happily just watch shane and ryan fart around with a Go Pro. People watch youtube because its free and they cant afford 3-4 tv subs & everyone is already sick of stream services splitting into more and more individual $5-12 services with 1-2 shows they like.

In this shit economy very few are going to pay $6 for four niche 30min episodes per month. A LOT of ppl only come to the channel for Ghost Files or Puppet History and that's it. Their diehard fans who will follow them anywhere for any price are probably already subbed on patreon.

Idk it's just an absolutely bonkers decision to say 'Big Announcement, all future content is paid for, and if you're poor or international oh well lol thanks for all the views buh bye." Just abruptly. No lead up or gradual shift. Not just starting with some exclusive bonus content or just certain shows.

Absolutely insane business decision. It makes me sad, sure, but it also just makes me angry because its such a stupid way to ruin themselves and they were so well respected before this. I've really enjoyed their channel and I will really really miss them.

SO it would seem that last night was NOT the one night to miss the Critical Role livestream. 😨

Well I caught up. Even knowing what was going to happen, I STILL wasn't ready for it, my god. Sam you son of a bitch.

(ngl tho I am excited to find out who his backup character is)

not my meme but you all do know about this right? It feels like it's getting buried right now and I feel like its proponents are trying to take advantage of that.

This is the first thing you can see on the project2025.org website

This is being organized by The Heritage Foundation. A right wing organization that worked with Trump during his presidency.

For more information here’s a video that goes in depth about it https://youtu.be/9k3UvaC5m7o?si=ef6LxmOit5txAhyt

Remember to not panic and stay informed!

Reminder also that their definition of "radical left" is primarily people who are accepting of gender identity, desire any tightening of even one gun regulation, want to combat police corruption in any way, and don't want a border wall.

Hey, it would be a SHAME if I were to REBLOG THIS and let MORE PEOPLE see it!

So I've been a bit absent recently- mostly Life Stuff but also I got a few things stewing on a back-burner which I'll talk about At Some Point.

Either way, sometime this week I will be opening my commission queue again! Ten slots. If you wanna be notified by email when that opens (it is first come first serve), go ahead and drop your email Here. (You don't have to if you've already done so in the past).

Current price sheet is still Here.

Signal boost if you feel like it (you are my hero).

(Also for the record this is not an April Fools joke lmao)
