I 100% hate that I have to shill so hard but just to clarify, I cannot make any of these projects real any faster than I'm currently able to without financial support.
I want to make the Bout Comic, I want to make the Kelpie D&D liveplay, I want to explore game dev.
But I need the cash to do so.

With your fiscal backing I can safely dedicate myself to making more things you guys like.

It makes me think I should be offering something in return... I wonder if people would be interested in uncompressed vids or project files?

FREELANCER TIP: THE 25% RULE!
The MOMENT payment hits your bank account, calculate 25% of the value of the invoice and then transfer that amount immediately to a savings account and DO NOT TOUCH IT. THAT'S FOR TAXES. Then pay yourself the remaining 75%. Account for this when determining rates!!!

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

The world enjoys more and better art when artists can make a living honing their craft. Armchair critics never go anywhere, tho. There’s no way to make art good or plentiful enough that no one complains about it… ultimately it boils down to a desire to control, not to engage.
