I find it really interesting to see how Patreon vampires operate. Let's say they start out their shitty "content creator" business at X videos per month. Then they start to get big and break through the usual 100K subscriber milestone on Youtube and start making paypig dosh. They start making donation goals for their Patreon subscribers, that requires extra effort, and so they end up going one of three ways. Usually by now they reach a stable Patreon monthly income, but one that doesn't increase to ludicrous levels. It always remains relatively constant regardless of subscribers and donators, and that's within the lower-middle-class incoming of $40k/yr to $80k/yr. For a single unmarried uninvolved male living in a city, $80k/yr is basically the pinnacle of what they dream to achieve. But in any case, they go one of those three ways.
Way the first: They set up a token Discord channel, token monthly updates for Patreon subs, and continue their usual video/month quota, although at a substantially and notably stagnant and uninterested level. They start phoning it in and begin a long slow decline.
Way the second: They start spamming their video output with substantially lower quality and leave their higher-quality videos for their Patreon subscribers. This leads to an overall decline in quality and stagnation. They eventually start phoning it in.
Way the third: They substantially decrease their video frequency, usually at the same level of effort as before, but begin hiding a lot of their content behind the Patreon paywall usually in addition to creating a (hue) dedicated Reddit board alongside a donator-only Discord channel. The e-begger is thus surrounded by only the types of people who would throw money at him like a whore at a strip club, and begin to separate themselves from the overwhelming majority of their fans/subscribers in order to appease the Patreon paypigs. Quality suffers, and they begin a long decline.
In all three ways, the quality of the content declines substantially over time, and it all comes down to greed and the amazingly misguided idea that you can make a full-time career out of dancing for Youtube money. How long is Youtube going to last? Another few years? It's never made a profit and Google is just about to keel over and drop dead with the tech crash. Then what will their resumes look like? Knows how to use a video editor and beg for money (201x to 2019)? Hence why the Sargoy the Applebees Waiter meme took off so well.
The main issue here is always starting to accept money for what was once a hobby or work of love. Never do this. To accept money ultimately makes one beholden to the donator in some way or another. Thus you turn the labor of your spare time into an actual job, except that now your hobbies have become your job, and that's to an exceedingly fickle and idiotic set of anonymous agents not bound by employment law.

I thought that I would set up !mydream for anyone that wants to share their dreams like the old group prior had. I didn't see a new group for it but I could be mistaken.
Anyway, I'd love to hear them! -
