Hey everyone,
I want to get back into shoutcasting. But I'll be frank: I can only do it if I can make it worth the time I'm putting in. If I'm only getting $2 per video through ad money, it just isn't worth giving up time with my friends, my girlfriend, or anything else I do these days.
So you can help with that.
I set up a Patreon site - please check it out, it's an awesome way to give money directly to content creators. For me, you'd be giving me money each time I upload a video - with a monthly maximum so you don't have to pay a ton of money in case I release a whole bunch of videos in one month.

I'm hyped about getting back into the TF2 casting scene and hope you're just as excited as I am! Please let me know what you think.

Have you applied for a YouTube partnership? You can usually get 3-4$ per 1000 views. If your average video has 10k views, then it's 40$+ per video.

Wuuuuut, I was under the assumption that to be a shoutcaster you had to be poor, have no social life, and sacrifice energy that should be spent towards school/work.

Signed up just to support you. I'm definitely going to try this out and see the kind of response I get from my viewers. Editing/Animating is really time consuming so it would be really cool to get support for it.

It's like a twitch subscription for youtube videos. Neat.

GO SAL!
PS: didn't know about this site yet but I've been wanting to set up eXtv on subbable for a while. Now I can't choose!!

I'm guessing most people also set that as their monthly max. So really, it'll be like $69.11 for the first vid I make in a month, and then more like $5 for the second, third, etc. Which is still great!

You do realize how long it takes to produce, record and edit videos of the quality Sal posts, right? This probably equates to less than US Minimum Wsge per hour…

I personally can't justify the cost, a lot of your content was on lower level play and it's just not interesting for me. If I'm paying for something it needs to be the best. With that being said the tf2 community owes you, the game quite literally would not be the way it is without your commitments and I commend you for that. You are a talented caster and I think you were really getting on the upswing during i49. Some of the best casting ever done in tf2 period. If you made a continued effort to cast high level matches and show matchs from na, eu, even Australia, I would pay.

This site is definitely a nice find. I will setup patreon for my own project to support Airon, eXtine, few other guys and myself of course!

Of course I do. I make fragmovies. Those take probably 10x longer (if not more) to make.
Less than US minimum wage is fantastic pay for a hobby.

I don't think the TF2 community owes anyone more money than this guy, but I'm skeptical at best about this. Sure, you get a "salary" subsidized by the community as if you were casting for an e-sport with sponsors, but is that really a guarantor of your time devoted to casting and making videos of this game?
I mean, you admit yourself that you're a busy man and that you left doing stuff for TF2 because of your lack of time; wouldn't this, for someone like you who has a job good enough to blow $20000 on video game teams for what amounts to a game that does not exist as an e-sport, be chump change to you? Do you have specific goals in mind for how much time you would allocate to making videos based on what milestones you make or something? Or is this just a simple motivator for you to get back into it that also happens to be asking for community dollars?
