Is this over days, months?

each big drop is the end of the month drop

thats a year of drops

So over the past year it dropped from ~335 to 251. Does the analytic sites track total money still? Or did they fuck with the API so if you hide the monthly earnings, it doesn't show on analytics for people beside yourself?

Worded that awkwardly, but I think the message got across

no because rob hid that stat

nvm, found it. Only has esti--

Yeah.

I know several years ago, regardless of if it was shown or not, the API would pull the data for total earnings per month for these sites

Yeah, they sadly stopped doing that

But I haven't checked that since like, 2016 or 2017.

It actually looks even worse if you look at just this year.

the graphtreon estimate seems in line with what I'd expect

reasonable, he makes about 1.3k a month on patreon

we know he has 6 or 7 people giving him 100 a month

then the vast majority of whats left will be single dollar donors

Aug '19 is right before he killed Urealms Live, right?

The big rapid drop you see in the other graph is when he did the stream killing it

Yeah, I was just asking if Aug 2019 was when it was killed, since that's when he also hid earnings

yeah he absolutely hid his earnings to hide how much the drop effected him

I uploaded my video of him announcing the end oct 15th

which lines up with the start of the down trend

so he did the stream in early october

Was his Patreon disabled for September and October or something? There's a gap between August & December 2019 on this graph

if you look at the line graph, oct 25th is the last time he let you see his numbers

whats with that massive spike at the very end

idk what the bar graph is showing I am going to be honest

bar graph is inaccurate

there is no massive spike there

hm

The one I posted was over a 5 year period

here is the actual full graph bob

ahhhhh yess

Oh, shit, my bad. I was looking at the monthly one, not daily.

What happened between April & May 2018?

I don't quite recall what caused the massive uptick

This might've been the start of rawb.tv arc

Oh, probably

so people started pledging since he made promises that it let you decide what he'd stream back when he was doing biweekly rawb.tv streams

Yeah, the "All my friends, you can be my boss, if you give me the money I'll serve up the sauce" shit

the uptick here is the start of urealms

Wasn’t 2018 the hot dog bullshit

I thought that was the start of the Patreon in general. >_>

2017

according to the only hotdog video rob has uploaded

Oh

his patreon started earlier

thats the start of graphtreon gathering data

I think

yeah

graphtreon started march 2015

is when the site went up

so we just do not know Robs pre 2015 numbers

Yep, you're right, Patreon says he made it in 2013.

I honestly can't remember him ever advertising Patreon whatsoever that early.

We can assume his pre 2015 numbers were similar to his pre 2018 numbers

mostly stagnant with bumps

corresponding to events

the really interesting numbers are his big drop then his month to month bleed that we have been tracking

his patreon was at 550 when I started actively posting updates every month

we are at 250 now

less than half

I think the first year or so would've been a bit stagnant; while I was grabbing water I was trying to think, and the first thing I can remember him actively mentioning Patreon about was the Moody Bidoofs album, where you could buy it on Bandcamp or sub on Patreon to download it

Rob has only ever gained patreons from one start of a month to another twice since he started declining, and he only gained like 3-4

That coincided with OR/AS releasing, which was 2014

His early patreon prob would have had 100-200 people knowing his fanbase size right away

when he announced it

then it grew to probably 300 with almost no drops

then we get the data we have

If he announced it before at least mid 2014, it was pretty quiet then, I think. He was getting money from PkmnRob on Twitch, still had a chunk of money from Unforgotten Quest, I think that's right before Blip got bought out by Maker

So he'd be getting at least a little ad revenue from all the shit on there still

I did not realize Rob launched his patreon on my 15th birthday

thats funny

the only sad part about not having the earlier patreon stuff is I can't say rob has as many patreons as he had in x year anymore

he is below the lowest point since 2015

which was 312 patrons

Oh, was the DvZ redux in 2013? Not when it was killed and revived the first time, but when it had been stagnant for a while and then he started hyping it more?

choose the night was in dec 2012, so it was post uquest kickstarter when he started the patreon

UQuest Kickstarter was end of October to end of November 2012
