I think any content creator that makes content you enjoy. Podcasts, music, whatever. Support whoever makes you happy.
For $1 MorePurpleMoreBetter gives you an incredible PDF that creates D&D character sheets in moments. Priceless.
Drawfee consistently churn out a lot of videos and streams each week so I have no issue tipping them
HBomberGuy donating the proceeds from his latest video exposing plagiarism, with +20M views and took months to research and create, to the people who were stolen from earns him a tip too
A lot of independent musical artists have hours of B-sides, covers, and livestreams you get access to whenever you donate.
Dwarf Fortress and Pukebeard are my two patreons to point at.
I have gotten more hours of enjoyment out of Dwarf Fortress than any other video game… and I think funding small creators helps spur innovation in content. Find some niche creator doing something you love, give them 10/video or whatever their medium is, help them go independent.
Holy hell, DF somehow never dawned on me when I was deciding which patreons I should support a whileback. The amount of fun that game has provided is insane for something free.
Context: I used to work onboard ships, 5 weeks at a time, with really shit internet. And once I’d exhausted all the media I’d downloaded while at home, DF was what kept me entertained for four years.
Subscribing as soon as I’m back on my PC.
These dingdongs who are part of the Cracked diaspora. Non-stop hilarity and far too many deranged artifacts from the wrong universe.
The site is very reminiscent of early 2010s Cracked. Plus they have three associated podcasts that are fantastic and just so delightfully insane.
Much of the rest of the Cracked greats are doing… great things! Soren Bowie writes for American Dad and Daniel O’Brien is a head writer on Last Week Tonight… and they have a podcast called Quick Question.
Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin do Secretly Incredibly Fascinating. Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll do Some More News. And then there’s king of the bastards, Robert Evans ;)
Also the dude that wrote the John Dies at the End book series. David Wong.
