Question for you guys:
🕑 Added 2017-11-14 03:03:48 +0000 UTC One of my goals was to get a camera to make little things here and there for people to enjoy. Those "moment in the life" of tex in meat-space. However, I've found that with those I've put out there, people really do not care for it. Me not having made them in a while has resulted in only a single complaint whereas nobody else has noticed.Is this important to you guys or not?
Now to explain the situation:
I have unfortunately had quite a few issues in my real life that have taken a lot of my money in addition to patreon moneys in order to . . well, do things like eat not ramen or get my POS car moving a little better and a little less death-trappy. However, I am approaching the point where I could possibly start to spend money on not just pure survival.
If this is important to you guys, I'll certainly try to finally acquire a camera for just that. If it isn't, I wont pursue it and will change a goal. However I'd rather not pursue things that people aren't very interested in. I could always pursue other things people tend to enjoy - like ridiculous space station 13 art, or funny commercials for my videos like big man tyrone, etc.
Tell me what you think guys.
Lets brainstorm together.

One of my favourite videos of yours is your rant about travelling through Kansas. If you’re talking about making more content like that, with or without video, then it would be awesome.

Honestly any content that comes out from you is fine with me. If you have to make a choice betweeen spending the money on yourself so that you can survive/make life comfortable or spending it on the camera to make something new for us (essentially spending the money on us in a way) I'd say spend it on you. Keeping you alive and happy means you can continue to produce the quality content you always have. I'd rather you do that than spend money on something you may not use much and possibly come to need those funds later and not have them. Should you buy the camera and make those videos I won't complain though.
Only found out about them from this, and well good I enjoy your longer videos rather then quick jokes.

I agree with Matthew. Test the idea with a phone, maybe keep in on Patreon in case you don't feel like it'll work out. I also enjoy your stories/anecdotes so an irl video or two sounds great.

I feel like most of the tiers are kinda purposefully silly anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you feel the urge to create some meat space videos, you don't really need a GoPro -- your phone should suffice. If they don't feel like a good fit for YouTube, maybe post here and/or Twitter? Or maybe start BPL SnapChat/Instagram accounts? I feel like you could do it in a way that doesn't add much extra cost/hassle to your life.
I will say that one of my favorite parts of any of your videos are anecdotes about your life, about previous jobs, or about experiences you've encountered. If a "moment in the life of" series involves more of that, it sounds great.
