In the short time that I've been producing videos/podcasts (around two weeks) I'm proud to have developed an income derived almost entirely from regular people (in addition to paid freelance work). Seems like a pretty good model.https://patreon.com/mtracey

Yes, there are some genuine grifters out there who bilk people for crowdfunding money (guys like
@funder). But crowdfunding obviously does not ipso facto make one a grifter. I'm as transparent as possible. The typical media models are broken, and we need new ones.Show this thread

I am a patreon subscriber of yours at $20/mo because I think the work you are doing is so important and can see you are trying to forge a new independent business model that other journalists could follow. You are not a grifter. Don't let anyone ever make you think otherwise.

PR firms exist. They are expensive and their work is most effective when hidden from the public.

Yea, that is the establishment bias. But people like you and other independent journalists are much more important in the long run, because this is pretty much the only way to get truthful news to the average citizen...at least, in these days.

What would you do if an especially generous monthly patron threatened to cancel their payments based on you presenting certain content? Has this happened with anyone? I guess it's less of a risk the less centralized the contributions are.

You can cherry-pick comments to make any narrative you want, but overall, I think you are correct in your assessment. Keep in mind, corporate media companies probably hire bots and trolls to flood social media and denigrate crowdfunded journalists

Meanwhile, journalists/commentators paid by "think tanks," which are funded by weapons manufacturers and gulf states, and the like, get no push-back at all.
