Has the patron money started drying up? Hadn’t considered contra points for years and now they’re out here with dumbass posts like this and coyly posting about how Zionism is good.

Apparently it did, cause she had to put out a new video 3 months ago. The one prior to that was 2 years ago

Her patreon is monthly, not per video, so she doesn't even need to put anything out to make money. She's got over 28 000 paying monthly subs despite putting out videos every few years.

From what I understand she switched to putting out “tangents” which were short-medium form videos of her speaking into the camera on various topics and these were only available to people subscribed to her patreon.

These videos didn’t have any of the production value of her main videos however and none of this content was worthy of getting 10-30k a month or whatever it is

I think Jenny Nicholson is the same way, but it's less annoying with her since she would just put out unpretentious videos about theme parks

[–] sempersigh@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can certainly supersede the need for production value if your content is still engaging and entertaining!

The Star wars hotel video was actually good it’s been like over half a decade since I thought contrapoints dropped a banger lol

it’s been like over half a decade since I thought contrapoints dropped a banger lol

I can't even remember the last time I watched or listened a full video of hers lmao

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Even then it looks like she only put out 6 "tangent" videos in 2024

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah but if she doesn't put shit out, people are eventually gonna cancel the subs.

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I honestly just assumed all her subs have forgotten that they're subbed and don't notice the monthly payment

[–] spudnik@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She sure picked her intended audience well then lol

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

If I had a patreon, that's the kind of audience I'd want.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

nah, she just on that contrarian grindset (always was).
