Y'all want an indie revolution so badly but that requires you to actually put food in creators mouths. It takes money to devote one's time to a project and $5 on a Kickstarter is not going to hurt you. Y'all pay more for a movie ticket
What annoys me about independent creators is that they want to charge us for content instead of using content to go viral than making money off promotions and sponsorships. They don't see that they turn away potential viewers via a pay wall. 😔💔
