Time for my monthly post.Have you considered how many of those active on the forum are former supporters who quit supporting AWAM due to the Very slow progress, failure to build the team to increase development speed (repeatedly promised and never delivered); choice to move the goal posts repeatedly (how much money/number of supporters required to meet the next goal published on Patreon/SS)?
I was a supporter until this month. I can tell you he deletes comments or simply is too 'busy' to address supporter concerns about development speed.
After Years of milking, I just got tired of it and stopped supporting him.
If you want to support him, and everything he promises and does not deliver, that is your right.
Everyone has the right to comment on any creator. For ex., I did not like how long it took George RR Martin to write the latest book in GOT. I stopped buying his books due to the length of time between books and how it was getting worse. I'm not saying my choice to stop buying his books influenced his writing habits any more than my choice to stop supporting L&P will cause him the loss of sleep wondering about where his next meal is coming from.
I Am saying I have the right to comment on the difference between the words L&P uses - like commitments to build a team - and the actions we see/don't see.
It's called talking the talk versus walking the walk.
I am going to say this again. L&P is not selling anything so you or anyone else cannot be 'milked'. Those that contribute to his work on Patreon or elsewhere are only paying for monthly access to what L&P provide. If L&P takes 3 months to create an update, then that is a decision each subscriber makes on his/her own.
I cancelled my Apple+ until they get around to releasing the next Ted Lasso series but I dont accuse Apple+ of milking because it's taken over a year.
