And are there any you would support if you had just that little bit of extra disposable income?

Too many ...

Mostly educational channels. I have to go and sort some out again ... I'm above $100 per month ...

Fucking Champ here

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SuperEars@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

+1 for Technology Connections <3

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

Paralives! Because fuck EA for ruining The Sims (among many other games), it's time for a good competitor. Plus, they're from my city!

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kiy@lmy.sagf.io 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Surprises me that people pay for discord. Were there features you used that were (worth) paid?

Also supporting other creators through Nebula.

[–] Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org 16 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Not many. I had to stop myself or else my list would look like remon's.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago

+1000 for Bobby Fingers. Clearly you have good taste.

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I love Bobby Fingers!

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Civvie has some great stuff if you're into arena/arcade style shooters. His Blood review is classic

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

ContraPoints, she only charges on months she produces content- it's not even every month if she isn't productive. Her Tangent videos are worth it.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

ContraPoints is fantastic, but I have a hard time watching the content if I'm not in the headspace for it.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

fair, but her tangents are more varied in topic she has videos on psychedelics, spirituality, the Barbie movie, etc.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Huh, I would like to see that.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

it's only $2 to get access to all the Tangents, well worth it

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm allergic to subscriptions, but I might just consider it.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

then I would pay the $2 once to get access, then just grab all the links (they're just private youtube videos) of the tangent videos, and then unsubscribe 🤷‍♀️ not the most ethical, but ... it's still technically feasible

PBS Eons and Wholesome

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Zero. I hate subscriptions. Idc what it's for.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 4 days ago

I personally think that's valid. Do you ever make one-time donations?

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago

Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can't stop binging it.

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.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Currently just Jeff Gerstmann, my favorite video games journalist

None, but will probably get a lifetime memmbership on Nebula....

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 3 days ago

Some of the people I was supporting disappeared. Now it's just a couple creators who are still too small to get algo love. Phedran is great, and if you are into chill gaming, you should check out her streams.

Savannah Brown is the only one atm. considering following CJ The X too

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I'd throw some money at the 'free' ones if I could afford to.

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.

[–] Marighost@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Just a few.

Here's my list, it's fairly random:

lol if someone wants to explain why they downvoted that'd be nice too. lmao.
