It'd be better if if he called the show something like "Sterling's Showcase of [something else that starts with 'S']" I'm sure calling it "I'm Jim loving Sterling, Son" would get old, but it would be beautiful for that short time.

Junior Jr. posted:God this one was harsh, like really harsh, but THIS was the reality check Noah desperately needed. You know... If I was Noah, and I'd spent a decade being attacked with vile entitled maliciousness from unstable strangers because I had a fun hobby that became a small career, I'd push people away, too. I would put up walls. I would isolate myself and justify it as self-protection. I might even be afraid to put out more content. After all, more content just means more anger from the strangers. I wouldn't want to be on camera, either. Being on camera just gives them more to mock. More flaws to pick at. More chances for them to shame you. If I was Noah I'd desperately try to lay low as possible and hope that those vile strangers move on to some other poor sap with a Youtube channel and hope to be mercifully forgotten. Of course, I'm not Noah. I barely know the guy. I can't speak for him. But I can speak as a person who's been on the internet. It's comments like these that make people want to quit. Or more than quit - It makes us wish we'd never started. That the world would be better off if the online hordes never knew our names or our stupid amateur content. It's how I've felt. Too often. Noah's made plenty of mistakes and I won't contest that, nor will I deny his own self-destructive tendencies. But Jesus, look how far you people pushed him.

I’m disappointed that things turned out this way for Spoony, but I can’t bring myself to get angry at him or anything because I love his old stuff so much, and because I don’t want to be too harsh on someone who obviously has a lot of awful stuff going on in his life. At this point I see him as the equivalent of a singer who had a few big hits back in the day but hasn’t released anything in years and is still living off of the royalties. Sad, but at least he has those hits to look back on and be proud of. Most people who try to make it in the entertainment business never even get that far.

Although I guess that’s easy for me to say, having never been in your position. For what it’s worth I’ve been following your stuff for years and I think you have a rare knack for balancing the entertainment and educational aspects of internet criticism. Not many critics could take an obscure arthouse film and review it in a way that’s both informative and funny, but you’ve done exactly that many times.

I can forgive him for not making anything due to succumbing to pressure, fan hate and mental illness. The thing that is hard to overlook is that he is still taking money for work he isn't doing. His patreon page should have been closed a long time ago. Stepping away from making videos might be the best choice for him to make. He should also step away from patreon. I don't know how he can justify taking that money for such a long time and have so little to show for it.

the thing I'm curious about is it seems like the people getting mad about patreon money are usually the sort of people never contributing to patreons because like, it functions entirely on people willingly giving money over to someone based on their presumably personal connection with whatever that person makes or made if those people are fine with giving some money over to spoony occasionally who cares

Terrible Opinions posted:Providing a less than minimum wage existence to a mentally disturbed individual. Somehow people are bitter about this. Kinda strikes me as the same kinda logic the Chris-Chan stalker types used quite a bit to try and justify harassing them. People will latch onto any justification to poo poo on someone, no matter how "deserving" they are of it.

Kunster posted:Maybe I'm being way too harsh, but what is exactly the patreon money going to these days? I believe it's buying a steady supply of "none of your loving business". Maybe I'm being way too harsh, but no one is owed a financial breakdown of someone's personal finances. And inb4: BUT PATREON IS OUR MONIES! 1) Unless you are a Patron, no it isn't 2) Even if you are a Patron, it still isn't. They gave that money to him. They aren't financial backers or investment capitalist who have a fiduciary duty.

Like, his supporters are clearly fans of his who are ok just giving him some money, I'm not a huge fan so I've never wanted to do that, but honestly I can think of a few of the people I use Patreon for who, if they just straight said 'hey our output is gonna be drastically lowered for I don't know how long, sorry, feel free to quit if you want' I'd probably still stick around at least for a while.

If Spoony has stated such and the funds are coming from folk who're aware of this and still giving money to him, then that's fine. I know a fair share of folk who do run on those sorts of funds as a general wage due to disability and all. However if there's still a constant "Wait up I'll deliver this in x months", yeah that's subpar. I don't wanna see a situation ala the PFSC kickstarter, where after the creator meltdown a lot of other artists who sure loved to RT Mike Rowe poo poo, mocked Chris-Chan over her "tugboat" and constantly make "lol burger flipper" jokes dragged her around to scream at the dumb proles on how they don't get the pain of being a serious artiste.

Like the thing is that it's been long enough that no one is fooled. There is no one conned into thinking Spoony will deliver stuff here soon. They're doing it out of some weird loyalty if anything. Spoony has done literally nothing for half a year. The only reason he's been brought up is because a serial harasser and member of the internet nazi collective made a video about him, and for some reason people thought it was okay to link in here. Would we start a big old discussion about Anita stealing money if someone linked a Jordan Owen video and went "hey guys you should check this out".

It's funny to me because it felt like when Elementary came out there were people being all "ugh a lame AMERICAN version of an English work " and then BBC's Sherlock ended up being the one that poo poo the bed the hardest.
