I won't pay content creators money online unless they are consistent with their streaming/uploading. I won't subscribe to your Twitch if you take off six weeks over the holidays, I won't join your Patreon if you skip episodes of your podcast and are constantly late with uploads, I won't join your channel on YouTube if you just up and vanish for weeks or even months at a time. I only pay when they are consistent and actually put effort in. And if the effort stops, so does may payment.

Honestly that seems perfectly reasonable.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-29 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. Consistency isn’t a big deal for me personally, but I see how it could be for someone else. Especially if creators are only doing Patreon per-time-period and not per-piece-of-work.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-29 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. When you're actually paying money for a service (as opposed to something that someone is doing for free), I feel like you're entitled to consistency.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-29 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-31 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, agreed. I've done it in the past. I don't have enough fun money to just throw it at something that's not even doing anything.

That sounds reasonable, except the Twitch example. People deserve vacations, even streamers, and especially when it's very easy to just cancel and resubscribe after the break if you really can't justify keeping the sub without new content.

Saying you would subscribe for 52 weeks a year except, gosh darn, the streamer doesn't work on six of those weeks, so you won't subscribe for the other 46 weeks on principle even though you could just cancel the sub for two months is wild. It's fine if you don't want to sub! There's no need for some convoluted excuse to justify it.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-30 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Agree

I won't pay them if they are consistent. Fuck that.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-29 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
NGL, I won’t pay them anyway. But if I did, I’d pay the YouTubers I watch even if they don’t post on a set schedule. I don’t watch any channels that do episodes or have scheduled content, all of my interests are things like off grid living, various crafts and hobbies, and reviews for craftings and backpacking. None of the content creators who post weekly or biweekly videos on any of those topics are interesting enough to watch.

There's no such thing as PTO in small business. It is known.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-30 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
This is actually true! I run a bricks and mortar small business and nobody is going to show up if the business is closed. They should just pause their subscriptions when they're on a break.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-30 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's true. My partner works for a small biz, <10 employees. They just shut down for a week twice a year and we forgo the paycheck.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-30 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm in Australia and if you shut down the business temporarily you still have to pay the employees (though you can make them use paid holiday leave at that time) but we're also an essential service so we just don't close.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-30 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, I run a small online business and if I put my store on vacation then I don't get sales.
