THE COMMENTS SECTION


“Coming from that world where anyone could become a million-subscriber YouTuber if they just had the right mix of charisma and business sense, and living through the decline…seeing the destruction of the original YouTube has creatively made me afraid of content now,” Zaragoza told us. Instead, he’s chosen to focus on community building through Dynamic Banter’s Patreon, a move we wholeheartedly support, not just because we just launched our own! Though we did and you should definitely follow us for free on there and join our Discord. Or even better, become a member, and support independent journalism and get access to exclusive content, weekly live streams, and special community channels! Join us on our unexpected journey. As Gandolf said: “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” Or even better, that other guy who said “Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew.” (The stew is content.)
