This is wonderful....
🕑 Added 2025-01-13 21:12:43 +0000 UTCFirst thing. Patreon subscriptions have now surpassed pre-Rick meltdown numbers. Those that believed the RS diatribe and left the community have either returned or been replaced by new Patrons. I can actually breathe for once knowing my bills will be paid and I don’t have to worry about going broke. Second thing. My YouTube numbers have returned. Some of the newer videos on the FILM IT channel have gotten pre-2022 numbers and higher. New subs are up 1000%. The financial stress I've had since 2022 is now gone. Sadly I believed for a long time I wouldn’t have this comeback. I can’t tell you what your support all through this time has meant to me. I’m so fortunate to be able to plan filming trips and eliminate stress so I can get stronger and healthier. I can’t tell you how easy this job is when there’s no drama queens or fame whores dragging me down with their petty bullshit. I’ve learned many lessons over the past two years. No more collaborating with other channels. No more plucking nobodies from obscurity and putting them up on a pedestal. No more friending con artists who want to use me for their own gain. No more fucking podcast invites from people I’ve never heard of. No more giving trolls my time. Never ever EVER E V E R again. This new fence around me is one you won’t get the key to until you prove your intentions and clear the bar. That awful nervous feeling in my stomach that’s been there since 2022 is gone. If you’ve got someone around you that makes you feel this way...fucking get rid of them! Have a great day everyone! -DB

Cathy Byers
That’s wonderful, Dan. Concentrate on the artist that you truly are.
ANNA WILLIAMS
I was thinking, a couple days ago, I enjoy your podcasts, MORE, now that it is just you, Brennen and Sal. He, whose name I will not mention, made me uncomfortable\nervous.

MUCH congratulations to you Dan! Your hard work has paid off, you've earned this!
Genae Medina
I am so happy to hear about the metrics, I hate that those matter so much. I believe you are a true artist and will support you no matter what!
Callan Madden (TCB garage)
With content as good as what you produce people are always going to come and watch it. And let's be real. Anyone who sided with Rick is either back or nowhere. I am glad your hard work is reaping your due rewards.
Joshua Crook
Congratulations Dan, so happy for you!!!

Robin Clizbe
This is all great news, Dan. I've also enjoyed the recent live-streams and drives, although we'd understand if they go away- they have been icing (snow) on the cake (pavement).
Eric Thornton
👏👏👏bravo 😆 Hell yeah Dan you're a legend! Lets go!
JdoubleU
YES! I’m so happy you are officially back to your ‘22 numbers Ignoring the problem and hoping they go away doesn’t work all the time. Cutting them out does wonders ❤️

Well Deserved 👏

So happy to hear this Dan! You have been through enough the last few years. It’s time to get back to doing what you love without the baggage of emotional vampires pulling you down. I’ve been a subscriber since the Meat Factory days and a Patron for a few years, proud to support you. The New Dan Bell Era is going to be the best yet! ❤️
India Bower
I'm mostly a silent viewer, but I've been around since your first Clearwater, FL video over ten years ago now. I'm glad you're still around and doing better now! No one does this niche content quite like you do. Looking forward to the next big thing!! 💕💕
Ransom Taggart
I love to see these posts Dan! I haven't been a Patron for long but I have been a viewer for years and years. I've commented before on how much your work has helped me during my worst times in my life. I love tuning into your regularly scheduled streams, seeing you happy and hearing your stories. Here's to your continued health! 🥂 I hope to increase my contribution at some point or buy some prints
Fungus
Proud to support you. I weekly watch older dead mall content and adr. There's something about the videos that give me comfort and I'm glad to be doing my part.
Jen

Amanda Troyer
Good for you Dan! Life is too short to waste time being anything other than happy. Focus on the future and the love of creating! I have been following your channel since I was in high school (like 2014ish?) and I have been waiting until I was financially stable enough to sub to the Patreon, and I just subbed like a week or two ago! I'm SO happy to see that it's growing and that your content is being seen more!!
Wendy
That's awesome! 👍

Wonderful...congratulations Dan!🥰
Charles Easton
I'd be tempted (to cast off people who make you anxious in your stomach), but then I wouldn't have many employees left! I assumed that anxiety in the pit of your stomach was what every mediocre line manager gets 🙈.
Vincent K.
Hell yeah, Dan! You deserve this win!
Christie
So glad to hear it, Dan❤️❤️
