HELLO NEW FRIENDS!
Added 2025-07-21 23:55:21 +0000 UTCWell I guess not exactly new friends. You've no doubt been following along for a while, but welcome to the Patreon family! I'm so beyond grateful for your presence here and can't wait to make all kinds of cool stuff for you to enjoy!
Comments
You just made the really good point that I want to curate my online experience. So I'm going to be building up my patreon.

2025-08-03 20:00:06 +0000 UTCCanadian here. I usually tip at least 18%, but I often tip 20% as well. Thanks for pointing out my lapse, I will do better. Also, I used to be one of the people who sometimes didn't put their grocery cart away, but in my defense, the corral was very close by (right by the entrance) and I was trying to get in a cab before they ran the total too high. (I always tip cabbies 20%, because they have saved my ass so many times.) Anyway, again, thank you for making me examine my lapse in judgement. I'll be putting the cart away every time now.

2025-07-25 18:54:22 +0000 UTCYou explain things in a way I wish I could. I value your takes more than just about anybody else I follow. I appreciate the balance of seriousness with sarcasm and humor.

2025-07-25 00:03:53 +0000 UTCFunny how people feel entitled to free art but when someone suggests free healthcare we're "not entitled to someone else's labor" 🤔 while I like to feel special, it does bum me out that more people don't want to support art!! Anyway, I'm glad I'm here 😊

2025-07-24 23:57:03 +0000 UTCI'm lucky if my account isn't overdrawn before my next check, and honestly, you can't get anything of good quality for a dollar anymore, absolutely this is worth it! Your content is great!
Susan Mikulan
2025-07-24 19:13:05 +0000 UTCI follow you on TT and YT. I have loved your content forever! I appreciate the work you put into every post. When you announced your Patreon was $1/mo., I immediately came to Patreon and added you to the list of creators I follow here. I'm on Disability, I am not made of money (and who knows how long I will continue to receive the benefit), and I felt that it was an expense I could afford to add. It's less than the price of a black drip coffee! And it supports you, which means I get to see more of your content! As I see it, it's a win-win situation. I will say that I miss your original songs ("Turtleneck and Blazer" etc.). But I enjoy all of your content! Keep it up 🥰

2025-07-24 16:06:01 +0000 UTCJust saw your video on Instagram about this and had to come subscribe. I wish more creators would have a more accessible price. Not because $5 a month is too much, but because at $5 it becomes too much to follow more than a few. But I understand that creators need to make money and the SM platforms are making it so hard, which really sucks. I have followed you for a couple years starting on TT and now everywhere, and you're a voice I admire and like to hear so it was an easy choice to support you here. Have a great day!
Lola Kaz
2025-07-23 14:08:45 +0000 UTCGlad to be here. You are my first patreon. I went ahead and did the $5 because I feel like you deserve it. You do a lot and put out so much good content and I have taken advantage for too long. Can't wait to hear all the cool stuff you are doing. And hope that more people sign up.

2025-07-23 14:05:23 +0000 UTCI used to pay $10/month for Biggest Problem in the Universe. Now they're MAGA. I can spare a buck for a genuine man.
Channel Dave
2025-07-23 13:32:40 +0000 UTCThe thing is, you don't need 2 million one dollar subscribers (though I hope you get that 😀)...you already feel it at 250. Getting to two or three thousand is really significant.
Laura Plybon
2025-07-23 09:47:20 +0000 UTCToday’s artists being broke is so real, and so much of it is bc the subscription services have trained consumers to want more for less. I’m a New York Times Bestselling Author and barely make enough to cover my monthly bills, and I live a very simple, small town lifestyle. Happy to support your work, Austin. I love what you do. 💜
Gina L. Maxwell
2025-07-22 23:32:25 +0000 UTCSo happy to be here with my people 💙

2025-07-22 23:00:56 +0000 UTCIt's a great place to be! So fun!
Teresa
2025-07-22 21:55:27 +0000 UTCA friend’s husband just started a podcast that he’s calling centrist. It’s very not that. It’s bumming me out so I turned to People Pleaser. I needed some more of this content to stay sane. Glad to be here and happy to support you.
Amelia Ritter
2025-07-22 16:29:14 +0000 UTCYES! Go-fight-win!
Carilyn Done
2025-07-22 14:40:56 +0000 UTCThe 250 people who came from TT and subscribed are maybe more the people who bring back a cart they see in the parking lot. It'll be cool if it can become the norm.
Sam Quincy
2025-07-22 14:00:00 +0000 UTCOh, I wouldn't notice $1 missing, are they doing that?! Lol
Sam Quincy
2025-07-22 13:59:01 +0000 UTCIts not even that you add value to my life, its that you add value to the world, in an incredibly needed time. It was a no brainer for me and honestly I wish I did it earlier! Happy to do it Austin!
Ciro DaCosta
2025-07-22 12:48:20 +0000 UTCAs you say, you start following too many people on Patreon and it adds up quickly. Plus my wife already was a paid follower. But it's definitely time for us to come together and support progressive voices. So I'm glad to finally be - officially - in the community. Keep on truckin', Austin!
Matt
2025-07-22 12:36:34 +0000 UTCA very good point that content creators are putting in so much labour for free. I try and support those I can to show my appreciation/support and I'm glad I can be a part of this support this as well!
Lucas Duff
2025-07-22 12:17:56 +0000 UTCEasy choice for me as well. Love that you’re going to focus on your patreon! I like making sure I’ll see your content while also helping you in a better way than just liking or commenting. Your passion, humor, and eloquence have truly been a soothing balm during all the hectic crap we’ve been going through.
Andrea Lindsay
2025-07-22 09:15:50 +0000 UTCbeen following you assorted places for a while now, but centralizing it all here at only a dollar just makes sense, so here i am excited to contribute and get to see everything.
Michael Mirantz
2025-07-22 06:31:04 +0000 UTCI've been here a while, but it feels like a good time to actually comment... as an Italian person who tries as hard as possible to be informed about what happens outside Europe, I applaud everything you do ❤️

2025-07-22 06:06:37 +0000 UTCHappy to be here.
Mission
2025-07-22 05:35:08 +0000 UTCI love your political stuff, People Pleaser, The Oner, and that you share your sick music videos and other creative endeavors with us. Always pleased to financially support.
Elise Tanner
2025-07-22 05:05:41 +0000 UTCPretty sure, yeah.
Austin Archer
2025-07-22 04:43:40 +0000 UTCMy thoughts exactly.
Austin Archer
2025-07-22 04:43:18 +0000 UTCI found you on YouTube, made a TikTok account and got the app to get more, and now I downloaded the Patreon app. I'm Gen X, I hate new apps. Are we parasocial friends yet?
Brian Michael
2025-07-22 04:04:26 +0000 UTCThe guy who asked why you’re not free, is the same guy who leaves his “grocery” cart in the parking lot.
Miranda Taylor
2025-07-22 03:10:52 +0000 UTCHallo! This Dutch ‘homie’ says hi from Toronto, you being my first Patreon-Person. So happy to be able to support all you in all the cool, fun and informative things you do!! Keep on shining😍
NellieNel
2025-07-22 02:34:11 +0000 UTCThis is the first time in 4 years that my Patreon community has really felt like a community. I’m loving these comments and seeing y’all interact with each other. This is really cool!
Austin Archer
2025-07-22 02:19:40 +0000 UTCWhat a no brainer. Seriously though, thank you for making this so accessible
Ryan Friedman
2025-07-22 02:16:37 +0000 UTCEasy choice. Im thrilled to follow you. You've made a tremendously positive difference in my life, im so grateful for you. I regularly rewarch your videos ive seen many times. Love you buddy and im happy to be apart of this. Thank you for all you do!
Anthony Ocean
2025-07-22 01:57:05 +0000 UTCIt was easy to get here. I love your content. I don't have words to explain how I think it feel but you do
Kellie Bishop Porter
2025-07-22 01:45:03 +0000 UTCYou ARE cool!
Apostate Alexei
2025-07-22 01:33:01 +0000 UTCYou're amazing, Austin! I'm so happy to be part of this community. I find immense value in what you do, and I had to sign up for "my pal Austin"!
Apostate Alexei
2025-07-22 01:31:43 +0000 UTCI am here as fuck.
shawnmann .
2025-07-22 01:23:59 +0000 UTCHopefully more creators do something similar. TT is throttling too much content. Let's build community.
Michael Curry
2025-07-22 01:19:43 +0000 UTCAlso, $12 a year is insanely cheap. I spent more than that just to get a single combo meal at a fast food restaurant yesterday.
Mo Kind
2025-07-22 01:18:55 +0000 UTCI love that I can see all your content now, it just what social media algorithms think I should see and for $1 I get an all access pass to your content? I mean, what can you get for $1 without tax anymore? Seriously?!
Dyane MacKinnon
2025-07-22 01:10:32 +0000 UTCI think at least one factor that made the decision super easy for me was that I already have a Patreon account and subscribe to a handful of other creators. So it was really simple and there was no logistical barrier in the way of me immediately signing up for your Patreon too. But if I didn't already have an account, and wasn't already in the habit of spending some money on paid subscriptions here, I may have seen it as too much effort to start using a new app when I can just keep seeing your content for free on TikTok (inconsistently, to be fair). I say this just to give one perspective on why more people didn't sign up yet. But I think you've got a great thing going here and it can absolutely keep growing! Keep promoting yourself and more people will join!
Mo Kind
2025-07-22 01:09:13 +0000 UTCYou telling me I’m cool lit up a part of my soul that has been in total darkness for years.

Lindsey McAllister
2025-07-22 01:04:26 +0000 UTCI posted this on Instagram in response to your post. I feel like it’s appropriate here too. Longtime Austin fan, first time Patreon follower: Amen, Austin. Today, you will be the very first Patreon I financially support. I don't even have a Patreon account, but I'm getting one and paying the $1 a month because I believe in your message. As a hopeful writer with aspirations to bravely use my own voice to resist, you inspire me. My first Austin video was "Soy Boy" where I laugued hard at the wonderfully talented, comedic delivery of a feminist, anti-racist and after that I was an Austin fan. Keep resisting. Keep inspiring. You have my $12 and my heartful love and appreciation too.
Andrew David Wright
2025-07-22 01:00:44 +0000 UTCUs paycheck to paycheckers appreciate you giving us the opportunity to be a member of your Patreon! $1 won't be the breaking point of my rent or a bill and I love that I can contribute to help you continue to do what you do. Even if it's just a dollar
Leslie B
2025-07-22 00:57:46 +0000 UTCI've been a big fan for a few years, and I never even knew you had a patreon (nor can I normally afford to support the content creators that I love) but I was more than happy to toss $2 a month to your endeavors. I only support one other artist rn and that's a comedy podcast (take your shoes off) but I'm happy to add you as something I can support with more than just engagement and views.
Scott Phillips
2025-07-22 00:55:13 +0000 UTCSo excited to be here! I've followed you for a while on TikTok and look forward to future videos. Thank you for everything you do!
Cameron
2025-07-22 00:54:13 +0000 UTCWe need people like you who have a platform and have the courage to stand up and speak out for what’s right & as long as I’ve followed you on social media, that what you’ve done. I also really appreciate your humor. If you can make someone laugh, they might just listen to what you have to say, and the fact that you can still do that during these scary times makes what you do even more valuable to me.

2025-07-22 00:40:37 +0000 UTCI've never subscribed to anything social media-wise, but you provide important, relevant information all while being entertaining!
Katrina Raplee
2025-07-22 00:12:10 +0000 UTCJust subscribe brother. You are the first person I’ve ever subscribed to or joined on here. Downloaded the app to get on here. Keep it up boss. Keep it going.
J. Price
2025-07-22 00:09:57 +0000 UTC250! I'm one! I havent ever subbed to one before now due to cost, but, I think starting at one dollar a month you're content and insight is worth it (and truthfully worth more, but ya know, I make minimum wage). I hope it flourishs and I'm happy to still have your works in my universe.
