#a ridiculous business

[osmiumpenguin]

Say there, random Tumblr people. Because I have neither the time, nor the money, nor the shelf space to do otherwise, I keep a list of all the books I wish I could buy, instead of just going out & buying them. But with the solution to one problem, another arises: decision fatigue. There are so many books on my list, I can't just choose one all by myself! And so I like to resort to the strange & idiosyncratic solution of asking random people for help. People like you! Please vote (and I wouldn't object if you told all your friends to vote) in this completely unnecessary poll, whose entries are the seven books currently at the top of my Buy This list — and help me choose which one I shall buy next? I pledge to buy a copy of whichever book wins. The losers will wrap around to the bottom of the list, and if this ridiculous business has any traction on Tumblr, you may see them again.

I’ve been seeing people solely put the blame for this decision on Steven and I think that’s unfair. Just because you like Shane and Ryan doesn’t mean you can ignore the fact that they had a role in this decision. The 3 of them run Watcher together. Come on guys, use your brains.

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.

in light of all the recent and incredibly disheartening discourse across my dash regarding aro and/or ace men, I raise all of you the question:

who are you to decide who is queer and who isn't? who are you to dictate who is "queer enough" for the community?

either educate yourself on identities you may not fully understand or shut the fuck up and mind your own fucking business.

your identity is not more important nor is it more queer than someone else's. your opinion on how someone else identifies and what their label means is not more important than the person who uses that label.

you do not get to decide who is welcome in the community and who isn't. check yourself.
