What’s the big brouhaha on RTS?

Can someone please send me the YT name? Thanks.

I had no time for drama crap in high school, I can’t believe it still goes on as grown adults.

Back on for a bit so if anyone needs the name PM me. I got all those from page 6 and 7. (Sorry if you already were told)

She is certainly reaping what she has sown. Instead of being a grown up, she acted like a child over something super small and blew it way out of proportion.

Her privatising all her public YT videos seemed like a very emotional response to what was initially a non-drama. Withholding now from her Patreon members seems to be in line with this emotional blow-up. I think some time off will likely do her good. She seems to be taking a few simple, vague remarks (that weren't even directly addressing her) far too personally and has blown everything out of propotions. I don't see how she'd just sit down and carry on as usual now.

The group has closed up, demanding people respond with what is essentially a code word or risk automatic rejection. The witch hunt tactics are completely bonkers. It's all gone way too far, way too quickly. Janet was the initial instigator and remains the person at the centre of this high-school madness on steroids. She now has to deal with it one way or another. Stepping back for a bit is probably the wisest thing to do right now as she figures out what she wants to do next and how to handle a group with a significant number of participants. It's got to be stressful but it also is completely of her own doing.

Best of luck to her dealing with what seems to be a pretty fragile state of mind. Unfortunately, other people have suffered from the consequences of her actions and those are the victims here.

She is so far honouring her $1 pledge tier promises (and only available tier). There is no set amount of videos promised, just access to whatever she will deliver. Since she already has posted at least one video in August, she's got her vague offer covered. Some Patreon creators have a far more rigid tier structure in place in which some tiers are promised X amount of videos/podcasts/creations and X amount of exclusive bonuses. That is not Janet's case. 

Her Patreon tier offer:

If it's not too late, could you please message me the YTer's name as well so I can subscribe to her channel? Thanks!

IIRC in the last video (posted before the drama?), she said something about I'll be back in a few days.

Sent it to you.

I don't understand why anyone who gets paid for content, and I get a dollar isn't a lot, but times how many subbers? Let's say three hundred, I could get a crap ton of scrappy things in a month's time. Just sayin.

And why would you keep complaining about price increases? That's uncomfortable for me to hear. And especially when you're encouraging scrappers to use what you have instead of purchasing new items.

I've watched many of her YT videos where she's spoken about being frozen.

And that's fine, you do you.


But to keep remarking on this sounds like what? A poor me, send me things, supplies, gift cards and I'll mention you on my video?

That makes me cringey to listen to. Again, just my thoughts, others may not take issue with this.

I agree that these women feel like Janet is their friend, they really want to be friends with her, or they feel a part of something. And maybe they are friends. Who knows? I don't know if they communicate outside of fb and patreon and are really friends. But they way they speak to her so adoringly is...interesting. Someone in the comments on one of her videos said she's the light of their life. Maybe people who are in need of some kind of connection are drawn to her. 

I've always been irrationally rubbed the wrong way by this too, especially as she will complain about how things are so expensive while showing off 6 brand new collection packs, one of which she bought two packs of.  I think she's offered some practical advice on keeping within a budget, sharing how to get the most out of a collection by buying only one or two pieces and then building a knock off collection around those, but the constant complaining about how expensive everything is annoys me, especially as an international who can sometimes buy products from the US, including the paying international shipping, cheaper than I can buy them locally.  

cycworker Supposedly the copper mug keeps it cooler. I've never used one. A collins glass is still tall skinny glass.

I wonder how much it costs to host on Patreon.

Why hide that though? That seems pretty sketch to me.
