GeekNights Thursday - Fan/Creator Interaction

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the current state of fan/creator relationships and scratch the surface of several ongoing concerns around it all. In the news, the US elections were mostly positive, Amazon is likely coming to Rym's neighborhood, and gameplay videos present a conundrum. Also, PAX East is live and Saturday is sold out!

I think Patreon was down the day we did the show, and I couldn’t upload it. I’ll check this weekend and if it’s missing I’ll post it there.

This is what I’m seeing.

I see it in your screenshot.

Silly me. My bad.

Relevant YouTube documentary is relevant. There is a Part 1 to this, but you don’t 100% need it to watch this (and this is the stronger part anyway IMO). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLA-uFKjQ-g

This is the third time I’ve seen someone link that video, though the first time outside of the context of /r/anime. It raises some good points.
