And are there any you would support if you had just that little bit of extra disposable income?

Too many ...

Mostly educational channels. I have to go and sort some out again ... I'm above $100 per month ...

Fucking Champ here

Defunctland and Technology Connectios. I just really want those dudes to keep making stuff. A 2 hour documentary on the history and merits of the FastPass system at Disneyland or how a dishwasher works is soooooo my cup of tea.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

+1 for Technology Connections <3

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Not many. I had to stop myself or else my list would look like remon's.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

+1000 for Bobby Fingers. Clearly you have good taste.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Civvie has some great stuff if you're into arena/arcade style shooters. His Blood review is classic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I love Bobby Fingers!

I really hate monthly subscriptions. The only two I could justify are my $5/m VPN and 3/m discord just bc I used it so much.
Recently I changed discord to $1 to Wikipedia, $1 to archive.org, $1 to Lemmy. It's not a lot but gives me peace of mind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Surprises me that people pay for discord. Were there features you used that were (worth) paid?

Zero. I hate subscriptions. Idc what it's for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I personally think that's valid. Do you ever make one-time donations?

Paralives! Because fuck EA for ruining The Sims (among many other games), it's time for a good competitor. Plus, they're from my city!

ContraPoints, she only charges on months she produces content- it's not even every month if she isn't productive. Her Tangent videos are worth it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

ContraPoints is fantastic, but I have a hard time watching the content if I'm not in the headspace for it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

fair, but her tangents are more varied in topic she has videos on psychedelics, spirituality, the Barbie movie, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Huh, I would like to see that.

Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can't stop binging it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I tend to avoid subscriptions where I can, so the only time I've ever used Patreon was to access Dankpods' After Show (back when it was exclusive for patrons).

I really should give myself $200 or so to dole out between my favourite creators and open-source projects.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Currently just Jeff Gerstmann, my favorite video games journalist

I support Extra Fabulous Comics and a comic called "The Lost Never Die."

Extra Fabulous never ceases to make me laugh, and The Lost Never Die is a newer comic with an art style that I love.

I'd throw some money at the 'free' ones if I could afford to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Right now its just Second Thought, I'm a leftist and love the content he creates. His video on East Palistine is really good and I would recommend it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly none. I don'y have thr expendable income to do that.

If I had, it couled easilly be 50+ youtubers, podcasters open source software devs, ...

[–] lobut 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Here's my list, it's fairly random:

lol if someone wants to explain why they downvoted that'd be nice too. lmao.

Besides yahtzee, Frost was the only other guy on second wind producing anything remotely watchable. I unsubbed the moment he left.

Just a few.

The Deprogram Podcast

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Some of the people I was supporting disappeared. Now it's just a couple creators who are still too small to get algo love. Phedran is great, and if you are into chill gaming, you should check out her streams.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

None, but will probably get a lifetime memmbership on Nebula....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Lions Led by Donkeys! It’s a great podcast for history nerds!
