I'm still going to be doing a lot of the same old content, but from a different frame of mind. I don't make content, that's not my job. My job is instead this one inspirational show every week and the work behind the scenes I'm going to be doing to build up this community. I need to put the leg work in, but come the new year I really think most of you will understand more about the type of artist and creator I think I can become. My friend Gooderness who works for Flocker.tv is a company that merges Patreon, Teespring, Stream Labs basically all the ways I make money into one platform. Next year they plan on having warehouse support too which means we can do fun things like sell Megans Flower Crowns potentially or other one off products from the same place as everything else. The main reason for this move is because they are personal people who I have come to get to know over the last year and their entire purpose is to make my life easier managing a lot of this stuff at the same costs all of these platforms already charge us for basically. Flocker is close to launch a lot of the features I need to replace things like patreon, but they might still be a few months off.

URealms Live exists because when we started this Patreon, it allowed me the time to build something brand new. Flocker will allow me to go to the next level of a creator and I'm going to be doing it from a healthy place this time around. Please reach out personally to me because my job is now basically to develop a relationship with the people who appreciate my art. I love my art, but to me it is not valuable. I am the one who is valuable. I want a small community of lifetime fans who want to help me grow, I'm not interested in mainstream fame. So my job is now to take a break from content to build relationships with the people who have been with me for years and years in hopes that you value my growth and art projects in your life and you will want to continue supporting me to see where it goes next. I'm trying to be an IRL Bard NPC who also just happens to stream an insane amount of goofs.

So

wait, since when did it become 15 years

He closed patreon numbers because he's switching to flocker

how many has ir beem

12, which was what he's been saying all month

nice

and even 12 is a little dishonest, because that includes the first couple of years

of a machinima every now and then

Man, a lot of creators do this because they enjoy it

not because it'll get them paid what they're "worth"

I hate that he throws around the word "art" for all of this

not to be pretentious, but if "everything is art" the word is just worthless

Lmao

Coward

Oh well, he lost 98 patrons

Since this started

And I think I've figured out why I dislike Flocker From the perspective of the niche it's trying to fill, it's integrating a bunch of services, and promising to take a smaller cut. But financial management companies never don't feel slimy, especially when they try to dress-up their business in friendly gamer branding. The Chinese warehouse thing is a neat gimmick, that I don't think will work. and it leaves them being this transactional middleman, trying to get rich off the backs of others. I don't care that my bank gets rich off of holding my money, but I resent these small financial-sector startups that don't really provide anything, trying to extract just enough money to sustain themselves.

They didn't launch with a working site/service either

They stick like a venture capital endeavor

Holy shit

it's worse than VC

5 seconds of googling

they're a gamer front, for this scummy ecomerce company

Oh, it gets better

Flocker was a company that went $18M in debt and went bankrupt in 2016/2017

which is why they're Flocker.tv

When you search news for flocker, all you get are stories about bankruptcy and mismanaging money

Rob backs a winner as usual

The ship can't sick if it's already on the bottom of the ocean

You know what would change my mind about Flocker,if they had a page of "creators" like Patreon does

For as much as I dislike Patreon, at least they try to be a "marketplace"

Rob should join newproject2

Pika, I found a worse version of Patreon

Lol

All these companies, are scum

Venture capital was a mistake

Lol

Rob keeps contradicting himself

He keeps claiming he does it because he needs the money, but he also does it for the fans

I mean, I guess he can do both

But theres something about his language that’s indicative of something like a psychotic breakdown, or a scam artist

To clarify, has Rob basically said in those messages that you're not a fan unless you support him monetarily?

Yes

Precisely

I guess I’m a fan then because I gave money during DvZ

Shit gotta go now

Can’t stay here anymore

I guess I was the mole all along

Yeah

I donated a lot too

Like 5$ every S3 campaign

I donated nothing ever

Donations are hecka homosexual

thats not true you donated countless years of watch time

look at that drop off

Worthless now

Since he his money total

We cann assume he is between 2.5k and 3.5k based on how many he lost

I only got the den of devils shirt

And $2

Den of Devils was the only quality shirt

Oh, I got the poster too

I did not

The dragon aspect one

Topic of my lecture atm is transition probabilities and I keep thinking that Rob is probability 1.

Why are you in a class about transgenders pika

Quantum physics

Hmmm

I’ll let it slide
