So who likes Styx’s new look?

its summery

styx inspired me to do my second channel

he gets like 200k views per day

and just turns his camera on, doesnt edit and talks

it works.... my second channel is gaining more subs, more views, and is more fun to make

I firmly believe that this form of more casual, in the field and daily mewscasting is where news is going

papers will be dead within thr next decade

i think robots will do general facts

radio news ( my favourite ) is dying because podcasts

TV news is being replaced by youtube journos

yeah that's fair Tim

I wonder how those facts will be aggregated though

Press releases are easy

But spot news might be harder

i would like to see on location stuff by you tim but i can understand how that doesent work on youtube anymore

Tim, the new YouTube direction is great. Good to see you adapting. Watch Styx closely. He’s always ahead of the curb on this stuff.

tims work in catalonia is basicly what got me onto this channel

on location works well but its insanely expensive

when i went to lond I spent like 3 grand

london

but the thing is

Im travelin as much as I always have

some patrons left last month becuase they said I do to many at home youtube vids

theres no news to travel too

when big stories go down im there

...but how are you supposed to afford travel if the patrons leave?

but im not guna fly to random places to make news

lol right

i flew to london like twice in one month

Oof

fucking expensive

Sargon had to open a patreon iirc cause due to his travelling he was short cash to lawsuit

i spent like 5 grand flying back and forth to portland and seattle a few months ago

travelling is $$$

You should do more cooperative coverage with people already there.

hotels, food, gas, car rental(cheaper than uber)

Also, how do I get my patron status?

I'm goin ta DC at the end of the month

@JDM_WAAAT

went last summer for 5 days bht its 12 hours drive there and back so we lost two days that way

goin for a week this time

@ryecast did you link your patreon and discord accounts?

it's not something I do

just link your patreon and discord

Danke, herr overlord

Tim, you consider doing specific fundraisers for specific trips?

yea but there needs to be a story

South Africa is probably the biggest but its not big enough

Sweden was massive and we only raised 20k

for two people filming daily for two weeks in sweden....

not enough

I dont get paid out of it

damn

I have to pay others to work plus expenses then i get to eat whats left

so when I dont travel the money coming in is mostly saved for the future

I think last year I made like 37k for myself

Be honest though, how much of the traveling is the joy of travel?

Theres the thing

Im not broke

I can choose not to travel and do my thing

Just about done your podcast on civil war 2: the sjwening

but I want to travel

Nice points from all 3 of you

im hoping my second channel will make tons of loot

Your job seems like a straight up thrill.

Fusion was paying me insane money

When you're on the ground anyway

I had a 350k yearly budget for productioon PLUS my own six figure salary

Disney money

Is there a way you can get the CW podcast on spotify or something without losing an assload of revenue?

easy living

I don’t feel comfortable linking my Discord and patreon to be honest. The guy who owns Discord has a shady history with privacy. Not a big deal though.

well

have two discord accounts then

....

lmao

I think Jack Conte is alright

but muh privacy

the podcast, tim? if not theres no issu

but I do most of my longform listening on the go

I guess that could work @JDM_WAAAT

Tim if you need a second guy on a trip in the US lmk, I've got some decent experience behind a camera and I've got a fuck load of vacation saved up

word

you're getting your fingers in all the pies eh JD

tim's pie ❤

all the anvils in all the fires

/s

irons in the fire bro

not anvils

feck

anvils are huge

Anyhow

tim you have a roadmap?

like, next 3 months planned or something?

Oh! Tim! I recently started a blog where I wanna do medium length biographies on internet-main figures. If/when I do yours (I have a list but no good pc to work on rn) , mind making sure I represent you right?

yea, im hopefully mving this month and setting up an actual pseudo studio
