I love Caroline’s stuff, but I would never give her money. She gets ideas, is enthusiastic about them, commits to them in earnest at first, then does them as an obligation for a bit, and then quietly drops them

I remember a couple of years back, she had a Twitch (which lasted for a few months; same pattern) and she said she was going to do this thing that she created on the spur of the moment on a stream, where you send her a $50 donation and say you wanted to sign up to the Caroline Friend Society or something like that, then she’d DM you a PayPal link, and you’d send another $50 with your address as the message and she’d supposedly send you hand-written letters. A stream or two later, people who had apparently sent her money were asking what the deal was, as they didn’t get a DM, and she was like, “Oh, shit! That’s right! I have to get on that!”

Caroline is too flighty to commit to an idea for too long (which I’m not giving her shit for, because some people just are. I am too, when it comes to dictating my own schedule), which is fine when the stuff your doing is free and you don’t own people shit, but when you’re taking people’s money - especially high amounts like that - I don’t think you can afford to be. It’s very unethical

With this Patreon thing, it’s your money and do what you want, but for me, I just envision that she’s going to revitalise an old idea that she abandoned, maybe do it for a couple of weeks, get bored, abandon it, then the Patreon will just sit, featureless, collecting money. I give any regular content there three months tops
