    While I guess not as bad her "mastodon is bad because too many mods" take seems designed to irritate me specifically and has basically the same structure of treat defending backed with severe misunderstanding of what is being criticized. I'm rapidly starting to find her more annoying than Liam.

      Rocz and Devon do all the work. Alice and Liam just say shitty things and soak up free money.

      Also except for Devon they're all admitted alcoholics who aren't even trying to quit, so the patreon is just enabling them tbh. Liam's excuse is "I used to be addicted to heroin, so this is nothing."

          I don’t get this take? Is my work from home job “enabling” me?

          Probably not. especially if you're expected to appear on webcam and write coherent emails and make coherent phone calls.

          Why is podcasting any different?

          Because, and yes this varies to some extent, but in the case of WTYP they make enough now (at least 30K a month now, probably more, so probably 10K a month for reach of them, 120K a year), you get way more disposable income than you do from a normal job and you're literally allowed to be drunk on the job, which you only have to do once a week, or in the case of WTYP, once every whenever they feel like it.

          they are just entertainers

          Meh. That's never been a good excuse when actors or comedians punch down or say problematic shit, so why should this be an excuse for podcasters?

          let them have their vices if they want to.

          this implies I or anyone else has the power to do otherwise, lmao. Was I stopping WTYP by criticizing them? No, of course not. When you say "let them have their vices", the subtext is "don't publicly push back when they're wrong!"

          its not like, incumbent on the audience to deprive them of a living to stop enabling them

          things nobody said. Besides, I can't withdraw my patreon money from them because i never gave it to them in the first place
