new #livestream schedule rolling out! Starting next week (November 6, 2023) I'm cutting my 4-days-a-week m/t/th/f livestream schedule down to Tuesdays and Fridays only, but with a higher chance of extending the length of each stream (I will try to start as early as 11 and usually run to 2:30 or later). I'm calling the official time 12-2, but you can always follow me on social media ( allmylinks.com/toptopics ) to find out if I start a stream early!
While streaming 4 times a week has been fun, it's been impeding my ability to get more tasks completed, like editing videos and trying to make the website look less ugly. I just get so dang distracted talking to y'all 😅 I'm still very active on social media though--I read and usually respond to every comment on a post, and I'm in our Discord chatroom daily ( visit toptopicstv.org/chat ). As for VODs, you can already see the "safe for patriarchy" VODs directly on my #Twitch page - twitch.tv/cerigotgame while I'm slowly but surely uploading VODs of my "not safe for patriarchy" livestreams to my #Peertube page at videos.trom.tf/c/toplesstopics/videos (unfortunately I have to re-encode each stream to a smaller file size before I can upload it to TROM, so it takes me longer)
I'm still keeping with my goal of "establish an income of at least $1000/mo by the end of 2023, otherwise I'll essentially have to quit making regular content and get a 'real' job instead" so if you want to see me continue to make content for the foreseeable future, please consider becoming a Patreon donor: patreon.com/toplesstopics I also have artistic n00d photography prints available for purchase at toplesstopics.gumroad.com and if you'd like to make a one-time donation, I have links to a few options like Paypal and CashApp listed here: toptopicstv.org/donate . As it is right now, I'm lucky to make $250/month, and that's for 20-40+ hours PER WEEK scripting, filming, editing, uploading, and promoting videos, livestreaming, and all the other back-end stuff, not to mention having to pay for the video hosting and software subscriptions, etc, that are required for me to be able to create my content, so the goal is a long way off yet 😅 But maybe with this pared-down livestream schedule, I can "put my nose to the grindstone" more and put out enough higher quality new content to make that goal achievable!
See you tomorrow for my last Thursday livestream at twitch.tv/cerigotgame, this Friday at joystick.tv/u/toplesstopics and from then on, Tuesdays and Fridays using the schedule above!
