There's a rise again in companies and brands offering free products instead of paying for a content creators time.
Creating campaigns, scripting/editing videos. Making assets is all time consuming
If you have a heavily engaged following. Know your worth. You are more than a affiliate code and a box of energy drinks/glasses/mouse mat.
Brands have a budget for this very reason. Especially if they have approached you first.
Please don't fall for corporate marketing language like : "Let's try it for a month and see how it goes" Or my favourite. "We can give you exposure".
Please let's bring back the culture of saying no and not feeling guilty about it. It's your time and energy. Free shit doesn't keep your lights on and or pay your bills.
Honestly, trying to compare the 2 and speaking to old SBOC/Machinima staff.
I don't think I've ever had this amount of death threats and or aggression in my DM's since, The Weekly show.
To the entity and brand I used to be and run. @Kittencog_ and I are tiny in comparison.
Everytime we go live. Guaranteed I have a bunch of lovely individuals leaving me messages.
Is it the smaller pond scenario?!
The dumping ground scenario ?!
Yes, they are filtered to other messages.
Yes I ignore 98 percent of them.
That's not the point though is it ?!
This all branches from February. When everyone (Not everyone, but it felt like it with all the bitching) had a hard on for people getting editors pick.
I'm not sure where in the list of being a full time carer for an 84 year old father with dementia, (While having several chronic illnesses). No life.
Wildfires, extreme heat, earthquakes, floods, hail as large as baseball fucking your car. (This is just a shortlist) Is seen as winning?!
Just to make things clear for those in the back.
Yes. We are still financially destitute, but we do our best with what we have.
Yes. We are still losing our home.
Yes. My health is in the toilet.
Yes. We are at our limit.
We still go live near enough every day. With a smile and are thankful to be here.
Those that support us. Those that believe in what we're doing. We see you, we love you for it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ♥️
The rest of you drama llama. Pick me.
Ego tripping Dickheads.
Or those that feel messaging on a burner account makes you feel like a big man. Or makes that micro penis any larger.
Fuck. Off.
Much love 😘
(Felt cute might delete later)
So disappointed in so many people today.
Cowards with no backbone.
The "I'm on the spectrum" doesn't wash with me, Aspie, ADHD w/e doesn't give you carte blanche to be a piece of shit.
Grow up.
Learn some fucking manners.
Respect is earned not demanded.
Don't be a dickhead.
Thanks.

There will never be a better feeling.
Staring at a beautiful clear night sky with 0 light pollution as you live in the middle of nowhere in a desert.
Watching the universe be absolutely magical with your soulmate with two once in a lifetime events.
A Full solar eclipse and the Perseids
We needed that.
I love space.

It's true. We stay in our lane, Avoid drama. Sadly though, some folks just like starting shit. 6 months of death threats and hateful DM's it's getting old.
If my other half wants to protect her mental health and her peace I am 100 percent in her corner. Any sane person would be.
