A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

MODERATORS
Just a few.
Time Suck and PBS Space Time
I stopped because I’m unemployed currently. But I supported a few 3d artists.
SponsorBlock. I watch hours of youtube a day and it's improved so much by SB. It's the creator's full-time job so I chip in to support the project. I'd be sad if it went away.
That’s a lot of youtube
Defunctland and Technology Connectios. I just really want those dudes to keep making stuff. A 2 hour documentary on the history and merits of the FastPass system at Disneyland or how a dishwasher works is soooooo my cup of tea.
+1 for Technology Connections <3
Lions Led by Donkeys! It’s a great podcast for history nerds!
How different is it from WTYP?
- AnyAustin
- NerdCubed
- Many A True Nerd
- Jacob Geller
- CGP Grey
- Physics for the Birds
AnyAustin is one I would consider. I did support OboeShoesGames for a while but he moved more to streams instead of shorter snarky videos.
Too many ...
Mostly educational channels. I have to go and sort some out again ... I'm above $100 per month ...
Fucking Champ here
Some More News, Clooos, and Zach Weinersmith (comic artist of SMBC and more)
The game "Heat."
I really hate monthly subscriptions. The only two I could justify are my $5/m VPN and 3/m discord just bc I used it so much.
Recently I changed discord to $1 to Wikipedia, $1 to archive.org, $1 to Lemmy. It's not a lot but gives me peace of mind.
Currently Souls Remnant, though only the lowest tier because I am broke
Special Books by Special Kids. He and his wife interview people with different disabilities and give you a little peek into their lives. Really interesting and inspiring stuff.
Currently just Jeff Gerstmann, my favorite video games journalist
Nerd of Mouth // Wizard and the Bruiser
Not many. I had to stop myself or else my list would look like remon's.
+1000 for Bobby Fingers. Clearly you have good taste.
Civvie has some great stuff if you're into arena/arcade style shooters. His Blood review is classic
Zero. I hate subscriptions. Idc what it's for.
I personally think that's valid. Do you ever make one-time donations?
InRangeTV and A Better Way 2A.
I've met other supporters of both groups, and they've all been pretty cool people.
I'm strongly considering supporting Galen Druke's GD Politics now that FiveThirtyEight has been shuttered.
Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can't stop binging it.
Right now its just Second Thought, I'm a leftist and love the content he creates. His video on East Palistine is really good and I would recommend it
- StuffMadeHere
- TropicalTidbits
- AppliedScience
I tend to avoid subscriptions where I can, so the only time I've ever used Patreon was to access Dankpods' After Show (back when it was exclusive for patrons).
I really should give myself $200 or so to dole out between my favourite creators and open-source projects.
Here's my list, it's fairly random:
lol if someone wants to explain why they downvoted that'd be nice too. lmao.
Besides yahtzee, Frost was the only other guy on second wind producing anything remotely watchable. I unsubbed the moment he left.
Yup! Second Wind used to be on my Patreon as well until Frost left.
I'd throw some money at the 'free' ones if I could afford to.

I support Infinite Backlog because I want to see that site thrive. Haven't found any other site where I can keep track of my videogame collection as nicely as with IB. That's my only Patreon thingy.
I support Extra Fabulous Comics and a comic called "The Lost Never Die."
Extra Fabulous never ceases to make me laugh, and The Lost Never Die is a newer comic with an art style that I love.
Honestly none. I don'y have thr expendable income to do that.
If I had, it couled easilly be 50+ youtubers, podcasters open source software devs, ...
The Deprogram Podcast
