patronsAbout Rationality Rules
So,
why Patreon? Well, there are several reasons, but the most important
pertains to free speech. As it currently stands, in an effort to put
bread on their family’s table, content creators either consciously
or unconsciously do what they can to ensure that their videos are
“advertiser friendly”, and the problem is that this decision
is in the
exclusive hands
of Google’s algorithm and staff. Long story short, this causes
content creators not to speak about what unfortunately
most needs to be spoken
about, and in my opinion, this is causing genuine damage to the
fabric of our society. Hence, I don’t want the ship that is
Rationality Rules to depend on such whimsical waters, and outside
of a subscription service, Patreon
is simply
the most
stable
alternative.
Other
reasons for crowd funding revolve around general expenses. To the
untrained eye YouTube channels seem low-budget, but they’re
surprisingly expensive. Your support, should you kindly chose to
provide it, will be spent on
hardware such as cameras, microphones, and lighting; software such as
Adobe
Premier Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Audition; subscription
services such as Videoblocks and Epidemic Sound; and on acquiring the
critiques of PHD scientists and philosophers. In
time it will also allow me to employ researchers and tech-wizards
both part and full time.
Over
the years that channel’s quality of content and frequency of
publishing has dramatically increased, and the hope is to eventually
be at the standards of the likes of CrashCourse
and Kurzgesagt (which will necessitate employing
talented people).By
supporting this channel, you’ll be helping make humanity just a
little but more rational. You’ll
be providing the world with educational
and entertaining videos, which
will in turn, I
hope, make intelligence just a bit “cooler.”Whether
you become a patron of not, thank you for considering doing so. In
this day and age, confrontational (outrage) content is king, and so
channels with a modus apparatus of respect are unfortunately
struggling to survive, and are thus dissipating.
