Have you considered selling merch? Some stickers pins or patches of the boys would go hard

Watcher fans sure are entitled and a little insane, ngl. "No one is going to sign up for your service! We're all poor! You've made the worst decision, and you'll be back in no time!" Saying this directly to the creators really reminds you of how low the respect for people you don't personally know has gone. I miss the forth wall between creator and audience.

I get and fully understand not having the money to support them, but... Watcher does have fans with money. A lot of them actually. They have merch sales. Their live tour sells out most venues. They have thousands of supporters on Patreon, where the cheapest tier is $5. They're able to gauge the rough finances of their staunchest supporters; that's how they landed on the subscription price. Yes, this move will reduce their viewership in sheer numbers, but to say all of their fans are broke and none will follow/support is factually incorrect.

It may not be a decision everyone agrees with, but severing the limitations of advertisers and youtube in favor of artistic freedom is a good thing. Yes, even if it comes with a loss of revenue. They understand that risk.

Also, I'm begging people to stop treating this like "another Netflix" or something and instead look at it as, "I am supporting a creator I like, similar to Patreon." They literally said in the video that they don't care if you share accounts. Get five friends, and you'll pay $1/mo.

I hate feeling compelled to rant in favor of their decision because I have my own reservations about whether it's the best move. However, I know it's not a choice they made lightly, and I like to think they understand that they'll need to branch out like crazy to entice subscribers.

I really really wish people didn't smoke tobacco. Or at the least, didn't smoke cigarettes. The warning labels on the packages and doors don't do anything.

OoOH scaRy NicOTiNe

That's all they see. At most, it's a joke to them. Something to gawk at.

But in a purely anticapitalist lens, 6 companies own essentially all tobacco. This includes most non-tobacco nicotine products, like vapes or Zyn.

People don't realize that companies have VERY little control over prices of Cigarettes and dip. Sometimes they don't tell us to change a price for months. A year, even. Other times, they make us change it three days in a row. Sometimes it's up 10¢, 50¢, or an arbitrary amount. Once it even went down 3¢ one day then the next up 18¢.

We have to change all of the signs. Every time.

And we also have to suffer people getting angry over a price change.

We make 2-10¢ per pack of cigarettes.

They cost minimum $8.99.

$3.33 of that is State tax.

At most, we profit 1% of the cost the customer pays. It exists solely to increase foot traffic. Which is good, but is like kinda ridiculous when you realize we make more on a single Bic sale than we do on 10 cigarette pack sales.

OUR CARTONS OFTEN DON'T EVEN SAVE YOU MONEY ANYMORE. If we wanted to create an artificial savings, we'd have to manually increase our own profit by raising cigarettes even further (which we are, again, limited by) but we don't want to fuck over our customers even more and lose even more business.

And what's even fucking crazier, is that bigger chains get better contracts and are allowed to sell their cigarettes for significantly cheaper, fucking over every small business. Why the hell would people stop by our shop when they can go to Dollar General and grab a pack of cigarettes for a buck+ cheaper.

Oh, and our contract limits our sales even more bc we aren't allowed to have ANY cigarettes cheaper than Lucky Strikes, which are 9.49. how did we get one down to 8.99, you definitely ask?

Well, we add a 50¢ coupon onto it, provided by the cigarette company. A legal grey area in the contract.

I feel so black pilled by this anti competitive shit, it's so anti small business.

EDIT:

For those too dumb to get it, my problem is with toxic contracts, gov lobbying by big tobacco, artificial competition, and corrupt politicians enabling it, as well as policies.

I am not an anarchist, though I do agree with some ideals and like listening to what they think, which is why I tagged them.

I am not a communist, and, like Anarchism, I do agree with some ideals and enjoy listening to their perspective, again which is why I tagged communism.

I am a socialist, and I am anticapitalist. Anyone who opposes anti-capitalism is pro capitalist, and is anti-human. Capitalism has killed more than any other ideology.

Go touch grass.

Is it ok if we print some of your artworks? Not to sell them or profit by them in any way, just for decorative reasons.

Also, I know you don't have a shop where we can buy any prints/stickers/anything (if you did I wouldn't even consider printing them by myself) but have you ever thought of actually making one? Maybe, if not your own shop, sign up(?) on inprnt or something?

Sure! If you just want to print out my art so you can stick it on your wall or something, go ahead. (As long as it's just personal non-commercial use and you're not claiming ownership over the artwork or the characters).

I used to have a Society6 shop but I closed it last year, mostly due to changes in their terms of service. They were cutting into artists' already meager profits, and the last time I heard of it, they were planning to add a subscription fee on top of that. It just started to feel a little bit exploitative. (I also had read some reports that the quality of some of their products had gone downhill over the years but I can't attest to that).

I already have an Inprnt account waiting in the wings, but I haven't gotten around to adding any prints to it yet. (Are there any specific pieces you'd potentially be interested in? I know people ask about the 'You cannot eat money' one pretty frequently.)

[silly-fox-and-its-stuffies]

hey I wanna start an online business where I commission dino masks and make service dog vests for people out of jean jackets (not to mock service dog handlers or anything, I am one myself, just as a silly jacket)

soooo if you have tips for starting a small business or with any of this please let me know!

also, poll to see if anyone would actually be interested

please reblog for bigger sample size!! and to remind me this poll exists lol

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

me, dolefully glaring for hours at the piles of etsy documents with fucked up numbers, ID slots that make no sense and utterly befuddled tax terminology: please, please make sense I only need to fill in ONE slot with you why are you like this with GST

(also does anyone know where the fuck to put your BN number in on etsy it keeps listing Canada as a state I think its confused as hell)

hi hii!! can you do jiung from p1harmony ideal type? thank youu sm!

Yes of course and I'm sorry for the long wait! <3

⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ 𝘑𝘪𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐫. ❦

He's attracted to people who have a complex personality - lots of duality and who actually don't open up right away. He kinda likes it to find out more about them throughout multiple times of meeting them. Kinda attracted to someone quite almost mysterious

But even though s/he is rather quite, they also are straightforward - he seems to dislike it if people talk around the bush or avoid directness

Also definitely attracted to smart people - if the looks are there but not the brain.. that's just a no from him especially on the long-term

Since Jiung values honesty a lot, he wouldn't be able to stand someone who lies to him because that would give him trust issues, his ideal type is Definitely a honest person - probably someone who can admit if they made a mistake or of they did something in the past that they aren't proud of

He prefers someone independent, though as mentioned it's just a preference

His ideal type is also someone charismatic who is confident (or at least confident while doing something they like) someone who he feels pulled to no matter how many people he meets. Plus points if they have a skill (for example singing, playing an instrument ect)

Also someone who is thoughtful and not selfish; thinks of others and helps others (doesn't matter if it's strangers, friends or family) someone who can give; not just receive

S/he should also have a warm and bright side to themselves, for him it's okay of s/he doesn't show that side in public or many people in general but it's important that they are someone warm and bright around him in private. Someone who genuinely makes him happy and excited, also with a playful side to themselves

≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺

Overall this is giving someone who is introverted (or introverted tendencies) yet confident and likes spending time with him, someone who might have been through a personality change or something similar so they are more emotional mature. It's Low-key giving: looking like a demon from outside but being a completely angel on the inside - not literally of course but the person I saw did wear lots of black clothes, dark hair, kinda cold/neutral vibe (kinda emo/goth vibes from the style but they might have more than just one style to themselves) to themselves they don't smile for anyone but smiles and laughs lot around him and likes more colorful stuff like for example blue scrunchies, purple tablecloth ect so like isn't obsessed with the color black

Cards: The moon, the magician, queen of swords, 5 of cups, the sun
