   After my last 2 videos, I've seen an increase in comments (especially on reddit 🙄) that my "tone" is driving people away, and that I'd be much more successful if I was nicer.

   Coincidentally, I've also seen a huge bump in Patreon supporters this month.

   I've had an increase in the absolute number of Patreon supporters, but I've also had many people increase their contribution amount, even though I provide no benefits to anyone who does that. 🤔

     I don't make videos for clicks, or to get anybody to support me financially. I'm doing just fine.

     I make the videos I want to make, and snarky blunt videos about cities are what I want to make.

     I was particularly happy with my last two videos, and I really enjoyed making them.

     They performed well too, and even have a higher-than-average "liked to dislike" ratio.

     So ultimately, I'm happy, my Patreon supporters are happy, most viewers are happy, and reddit is still sucks. 😆

     Thank you so much to the people who have supported my channel on Nebula and Patreon. I appreciate it so much!

     It's amazing to be able to make the videos I want to make, without having to worry about what the rest of the world thinks of them, or how much advertisers are willing to pay for them.

     Thank you!!

     I joined Nebula recently. Partly to support your channel. So you may also be picking up "supporters" via that route too.
     As for comments, suggesting you change your tone. FUCK EM!😝
