Creative begging (plus neo dictionary entries)

 This new era of games companies and writers shilling for your cash even before the product is available gives me pains. The only thing worse are the Tubbies (Tubbies: Noun person or persons who make videos and post them online in an attempt to garner money, ad revenue or patreon supporters.)

People managed to publish gaming products before this wave of beganceering over took the net.  (Beganceering: noun, adverts comments and pleas for finacial backing of a product or Tubbie pleading for money via various methods and websites)

Alot of people will argue that the almighty Kickstarter and Patreon allow creatives the freedom to create. I 



Call it what it really is BEGGING. its wormed its way into every segment of creativity. 
Every tubbie has a patron, every designer a slew of kickstarters that needs your backing. They "need" your subscription, notifications, monthly backing etc... 

Its the new norm of game publishing, beganceering rules the smaller companies. My two favorite game companies have a stable of kickstarters going each. 

Worse still the false sense of comradery that arises from podcasts and subscriptions to tubbies channels. News flash, your a cash cow for them. Your not a friend, chum or otherwise. 


My unpopular opinion:



My personal advice, Dont subscribe dont back dont patreon just dont. 

There is more to watch on the internet than you could ever see, dont pay to create more. You dont need to subscribe to a tubbie, new videos from them will appear thanks to googles algorithm. Also game products will be published with out prebuying it.   

Or better yet take some time, put on some creative inducing music and write your own stuff.
