    I think any content creator that makes content you enjoy. Podcasts, music, whatever. Support whoever makes you happy.

    Drawfee consistently churn out a lot of videos and streams each week so I have no issue tipping them

    HBomberGuy donating the proceeds from his latest video exposing plagiarism, with +20M views and took months to research and create, to the people who were stolen from earns him a tip too

    Dwarf Fortress and Pukebeard are my two patreons to point at.

    I have gotten more hours of enjoyment out of Dwarf Fortress than any other video game… and I think funding small creators helps spur innovation in content. Find some niche creator doing something you love, give them 10/video or whatever their medium is, help them go independent.

        The site is very reminiscent of early 2010s Cracked. Plus they have three associated podcasts that are fantastic and just so delightfully insane.

        Much of the rest of the Cracked greats are doing… great things! Soren Bowie writes for American Dad and Daniel O’Brien is a head writer on Last Week Tonight… and they have a podcast called Quick Question.

        Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin do Secretly Incredibly Fascinating. Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll do Some More News. And then there’s king of the bastards, Robert Evans ;)

    I support a YouTuber, Joel Bocko, aka Lost in the Movies.

    His coverage of Twin Peaks is second to none IMO, and I’ve had literally days (possibly weeks, in fact) of enjoyment from his videos, podcasts and writing on that, and on cinema and TV generally.

    Well worth it if you love movies, particularly more art-house ones although that’s not all he covers either.

    He’s also a really nice guy, very engaged with comments, questions, etc.

    I gave Pateron a try awhile back, unless you’re in it to donate to your favorite artist it’s not a very good business model, and because they take such a cut it’s not even that good for donations either. It’s a shame because on paper it sounds like it would be awesome, but what instead ends up happening is that people take content they would have posted for free and paywall it, only to post it a half year later anyway.

      It’s such a unique view at parts of society that others would never look at or take the time to even acknowledge. Putting themselves often in extremely sketchy or even illegal situations for the sake of the story. Real gonzo journalism you just don’t normally see these days. Andrew is a modern day Hunter Thompson.

    Not because of the pattern perks, really, but because his Speedrun explainers are just so good. They consistently high quality, informative, and you can tell there’s a lot of work that goes into them.
