prefect posted:Stewart Lee (UK comedian) wrote a memoir a couple years ago (I'm reading it now), and he talks about how artists have become able to cultivate a dedicated following and make a living without having to be a big national name. You might not have millions of fans, but there are people who like you, and they'll come out to shows or buy your stuff. It's kind of inspiring. Both of his books (annotated standup sets with intros) are incredible. Super interesting thought processes and brutal self-criticism.

HARVARD DO NOT READ THIS . . . . . . . it seems like a student org is doing it? I'm probably gonna head down anyway, maybe it will be disorganized enough that people without tickets can get in.

frameset posted:Does Chapo's massive funding on Patreon prove that there is a market out there with people willing to A) Pay for leftist content, and B) Actually pay for content online instead of ad-supported content? it's all super long-tail stuff, like how pewdiepie was pulling in 8 figures but your average (or even like 90th percentile) full-time YouTuber makes sub minimum wage. Then platforms highlight the superstars and collect their crumbs and move on to more rubes

Caleb is the most important for sure. The movie review episodes are also really fun, especially their review of "The Conqueror" with Derek Davison.

ALL the movie reviews are great. The Boston marathon bombing movie one was great, too. "Uh, sergeant, you haven't reached your N-word quota for the month yet, we're going to need you to step it up or face reprimand."
