Paying It Forward: Patreons That Deserve Some Love
Added 2017-11-09 00:26:13 +0000 UTCHey team,
As a means of assuaging the part of myself that thinks I should only be successful if other great artists are as well, here's a short video shining some light on a few folks I support on Patreon and think you might want to check out. They are all excellent creators who are making considerably less on Patreon than I am.

2017-11-11 02:38:07 +0000 UTCDefinitely check out Amr Al-Aaser, he does some great writing and could use some love: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/siegarettes/posts">https://www.patreon.com/siegarettes/posts</a> A piece they wrote on ARMS: <a href="https://medium.com/@siegarettes/how-arms-created-a-fighting-game-for-everyone-1bef0a749b62" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://medium.com/@siegarettes/how-arms-created-a-fighting-game-for-everyone-1bef0a749b62</a> and one on Free to Play structures: <a href="https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/07/the-grind-how-free-to-play-games-shatter-gamings-i.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/07/the-grind-how-free-to-play-games-shatter-gamings-i.html</a>

2017-11-10 13:36:53 +0000 UTCThis is a great series, and I'm glad you're going beyond YT/videos. Cool stuff. Another person you might look into mentioning is The Moa. Relatively new on the scene, but has done some in-depth looks at the culture and politics in a way that reminds me of you. You might like his series Art-of-the-Heel, which uses wrestling as a way of understanding Trump and the alt-right.
2017-11-09 22:42:22 +0000 UTCNot as many as I should, and none that either don't need my help or make work that I don't feel good supporting. Do you have any recommendations?

2017-11-09 15:48:59 +0000 UTCAre there any up-and-coming black or brown creators you know of who could use a spotlight?

2017-11-09 02:24:10 +0000 UTCOooh the "need more gay!" channel! I binge watched it back then, and being the air head I am, I didn't subscribe. Let me fix that :) And let me check the other channels too!
