I was just thinking about this the other day. For example, I used to follow F1nn5ter. I liked his whole schtick. The “Stop Making Me Dress Like A Girl Dammit!” was fun in the beginning. A few times I contemplated sending a funny paid message, but never did.
He has obviously gone through some major changes since then. And I’m happy he’s figuring his shit out. Even has an amazing girlfriend.
But I don’t understand people who still send him 100 dollar dono’s anymore. I mean His Only Fans is estimated to be pulling in 250K a month. He owns two houses and just recently purchased a Maybach (probably used, but still)
He has come right out and said he only streams on twitch because he want’s to, not because he needs to.
So I’m just curious if any of you follow or donate any big streamer?
Never directly. I have bought merch, but I have low acceptance for stuff that just makes me a walking billboard. It has to be something I like separate from any association from the content creator.
I recently bought a shirt from Caitlin Dougherty, YouTuber on death traditions. If you know her content, you would recognize the shirt as one of hers. If you don’t know her, it’s just a cool shirt that tickles my happy goth vibes.
I suppose a patreon subscription is probably their best bang for buck, but buying their merch is still better than a YouTube subscription from what I understand. I’ve heard that from many creators. Buy their merch, use their affiliate links, that nets them more than YT does.
Edit: oh, you’re asking if I pay for porn. Nah, there’s plenty of free shit.
