Do any maxfun shows have a patreon

I would imagine they enjoy not having to deal with the organisational/financial aspects of everything as well. Like clearly they make enough to leave polygon and be pretty happy so from their point of view it's probably best not to rock the boat too much?

I'd 100% donate to a McElroy patreon and then wouldn't have to give money to Jesse thorn.

nah, didn't they say somewhere that taz was pulling down 3 million downloads or something? chapo has said their listener reach is like 700k. the mcelroys would smoke them and everyone else pretty quick

The McElroys could easily pull in enough to make a Patreon worthwhile. But could they pull in more than they already make now from the combo of advertisers and MaxFun donors? That's the bigger question.

does maxfun take investment from venture capital? because if not, they'll probably be around longer then patreon

Considering Patreon's CEO is trying to torpedo their company, it's probably not a good time to tie your main source of income to them.

Patreon's business model is to take a 5% cut of aggregating credit card payments to people/organizations that don't do enough transactions to afford processing credit card payments. It's a perfect business model for steady income and growth, but not ~*exponential growth*~ enough for silicon valley and venture capitalists, so they're looking for ways to kill the goose to get all the golden eggs.

Most of those types of sites also list their recipes on the website so you can peruse for ideas without shelling out for the food. Because I can cook but I'm awful at coming up with new combinations of food.

Blue Apron figured this out a while ago and so puts all their spices and seasonings into a single premixed "spice packet" that you dump in all at once as well as other tricks to try to obfuscate ingredients and quantities as much as possible. Probably easy enough for an experienced cook to figure out what they need, but it stops their target demographic from easily pirating it through their local grocery.

Blue Aprons real grift is selling specialized kitchenwares for their boxes. You too can own the set of tiny mostly useless prep bowls from our example photos!

They mark exactly what spices and in what quantities go into the spice blend. It’s actually incredibly convenient.

Am I the only one who gets McElroy podcasts from their Libsyn pages? I just find it less cluttered and easier to find older episodes by date.

Yeah, I don't think this is obfuscation, this is just to save you time.

Imagine if they instead had multiple, even-tinier individual ingredient plastic bags and one of the instructions was "add 1tsp of paprika to 1tsp of onion powder"

It was like this at one point but instead of 1 tsp of whatever, it just said "add the bag of paprika and the bag of onion powder"

Did the boys take up most of this week's TAZ in a fight? I ran into the end of the episode thinking they were going into the mid roll ad read and I'm honestly confused how they spent the entire hour.

Finally caught back up on TAZ. I feel like we're rapidly closing in on a talk down the mob from charging Sylvane ending to the arc, especially with this monster whose whole motivation seems to be shattering the masquerade.
