Understandable, but kinda hard not to be cynical about people coming back in the same time that patreons are being allowed. Augus posted:If you see anybody now suddenly considering returning to SA I can assure you it probably has less to do with being allowed to link your patreon at the top of an LP and more to do with the fact that a certain horrible moron is no longer in charge of this website as of a few days ago But why not both

IMO you guys don't have to, but I think trying to spend time with the FYAD folks or try to understand their posting style would go a long way. we're all on the same website here and lowtax is gone, lets just make this place better  E: the fyad posters i've interacted with on here or twitter are very nice and chill. I think there's just a lot of miscommunication across the different subforums and that is what creates confusion/hostility

It's good for people to be able to make some scratch off their hobbies. If you're worried about people registering on SA in the hopes of striking it rich as the next big LP star then A) that's ridiculous and B) who cares?

yea I mean I agree people should be free to do whatever hobby they like without worry of money and all, but they still need to make rent and we don't have a UBI/welfare system to allow it so it's hard to care that the OP of their post is now allowed to have 'hey if you like this here's my patreon'.

A now successful PUBG streamer regged just to push his nascent stream in the PUBG thread. So I guess it works.

Leal posted:L 👏 P 👏 should 👏 be 👏 free 👏 this website is a website that you paid  to post in. everybody who joined the forums to participate in an LP thread (not a small amount of people) paid money to do so and until just a few days ago that money went to a giant rear end in a top hat that abuses women. the LP subforum was always monetized.goons donate to other goons all the time anyway, we're in a pandemic with no end in sight and the world is on fire. also the LP mods would shut down anyone trying to take advantage Augus fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Oct 14, 2020 |

The problem I have the 'well, what's wrong with people making money off of their hobby?' argument is that at some point, it stops being a hobby, and starts becoming a job. I think the issue with making money off of being a content creator through Patreon is that if you decide to switch gears to something new, or you get burned out and want to take a break, you can easily lose you patrons and be out of revenue. Plus, depending on your setup, you might have people donating with the stipulation that you play [X], or talk about [Z], and then you have to decide whether you want to go through with it, or reject it. Like, set up a Ko-Fi or something instead. At least that way, you get some tips for your work, and you're not basing your livelihood based off it.

Managing viewer's expectations and your workload so you don't get burned out is something that comes down to the specific content creator, and in general it's better to do variety rather than just be the guy who streams overwatch or whatever. (coincidentally, I've seen a number of streamers successfully pivot away from being a 'just one game forever' streamer for the sake of their own enjoyment, so it's not like you're stuck there forever.) Max Wilco posted:Plus, depending on your setup, you might have people donating with the stipulation that you play [X], or talk about [Z], and then you have to decide whether you want to go through with it, or reject it. anyways no one who actually wants to make money will use ko-fi instead of subscription services like patreon because subscription services are way, way better at making money

It's kind of weird that people started complaining about Patreon links in forum posts in response to a person asking twitter if SA is okay again and them being met with a resounding "Eeehhhh?" Also they haven't actually posted anything yet.

Bar Crow posted:The futurism is the resolution to the contradiction between seeing social problems and rejecting social change. Technology will somehow fix everything and reinforce the status quo. It is a pretty common line of thinking. Yeah that’s a very good observation and also explains poo poo like his close contemporary Henry Ford becoming obsessed with machinery and ways of transforming human workers into machinery while commissioning a replica medieval village on the grounds of his monstrously large estate.

I hope SA continued to become a more welcoming place for people to join from now on, and really hope Jeffrey does his best in improving things and somehow getting the word out that this is a great forum to join now that it's been wrestled from the apathy golem it was caught in the clutches of
