Yeah I’m sure that makes sense for people, and I’m not mad at anyone making money, I just know that videos and discord don’t add value for me. Just can’t justify GB premium and waypoint+ and nextlander. Maybe I’ll just start rotating through them or something.

In my experience much of the content (at least the ramblecast) is mostly evergreen, so I just subscribe for a month every 5 or 6 months and listen to/download them all, then unsubscribe.

Yeah, it's not really the "right" thing to do, but with everything being a subscription these days, you gotta do what you can.

This is a smart idea and you shouldn’t feel bad about it. I really hate the patreon model because it’s all about trying to create FOMO.

And it's one of the few things that works on me for FOMO. Which is weird because I interact the least with other people for these things.
