Well he made a pitch for 200 more suckers to send him more money. It looks like he’s got about 40 - that’s around 20% of the target. Plus we will see how many drop off at the end of the month.
He said he needed 570 to be “sustainable” and not be “forced” to issue yet more begging videos. Is that an implicit promise to pack it in if he stays well below 570? Because he doesn’t look like anywhere near that. In reality he will probably still be collecting money from any remaining donors years after he’s stopped producing videos altogether.
Notice how he said that Ad revenue gets him $1200 a month but he didn’t mention how much his patron and other begging measures generate. In one sense that’s odd because it was patron numbers he was aiming to increase. On the other hand, perhaps he believes that if he revealed how much patrons already send him each month then people would be less inclined to send him any more. So it’s a pretty cynical partial disclosure of his financial situation.
Whatever tricks he pulls, it seems pretty clear he’s making less money out of begging this year than he did last year, and that he’ll make less money from begging next year than he did this year. That’s got to be depressing. Has he got any kind of plan to get out of this spiral? Two obvious plans would be improve his channel or else find a job instead. He doesn’t give any indication of doing either. 🤷♂️
