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

I'd guess anyways

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

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

maybe he just uploaded the video later for choose the night

idk

I know for a fact he played DvZ going into sep 2013

because I created PHIJKCHU Aug 2013

and I watched him play DvZ/pokemon for like 5-6 months before that

Because the game had an "estimated delivery" of two years after the Kickstarter's end date

Oh really now.

~500k subs would be considered a Z-List Youtube celeb, right?

I woldn't say thats Z list

thast like C list in modern youtube, at least B from the time rob got those subs

Nah, not talking about Rob

500k is still a lot, considering 99,9% of youtubers do not get more than 100k

I was gonna say, where I can I find a Z^-32-List version of Matt McMuscles to do a "What Happened?" style video on Rob?

I've always dreamed of someone like GamerFromMars or Down The Rabbit Hole making that sort of style of video about him

Kiwi farms levels of research

I forgot how good Patreon used to look

I have the original video Rob used to launch his patreon too
