AVGN and Spoony are probably the two ones I remember before it became a big thing

The Spoony One, Armake21, Ebeeto...
Fuck I feel old. Those, man, are fucking old.
Pity about the Spoony situation though...
Don't feel too sorry. He's still milking his patrons to the tune of about $1000 a month despite not having produced any real content for a long time.
In his prime however he was hilarious. I still go back to watch his old content periodically.
He's STILL getting money?! For what, his tweets?! Thats the only activity out of him..
He does livestreams accessible to patrons or something I think.
Actual content on his site, yeah, there's been like, maybe 2 Counter Monkey episodes in the last year?
I guess if you get a large enough pool of people, 1000 a month isn't hard? Lots of people will throw a buck or two at random GoFundMe stuff. Its like if 10/30 people at work like me enough to spot me for a coffee twice a week. 2 bucks a coffee. 40 a week, 160 a month. Your co-workers are probably more willing to spot you a coffee socially then hand you 2 dollars, but the general economics are the same.
