It's important to try things even if they fail, it's the only way to find out if something is possible. I won't be paying because I can't afford it. If I could I would. Same as Kermode and Mayo Film show which is / was a show I absolutely love(d), but can't afford to pay for, so that's it.. I'll be honest. Not that I rate his content, because I don't for many of the reasons others have pointed out. However, if I'm going to fund anyone getting to Villa, unfortunately it wont be some middle aged bloke with a shite load of merch and family who wants to jack his job in for others to fund it for him. I'd rather help someone with nothing than someone who feels entitled. He could sell that subuteo table and get a few quid for that too for a start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 If you want to make a career from Youtube content its possible. Like Dan Bardell for example is not everybody cup of tea but has made a real good career from his podcasts It's just about quality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ozvillafan Posted October 27, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 Interesting take by some here. 5 quid or nothing, the guy puts together a good quality show. I don't always agree with everything he says but it's usually a good listen regardless. I'm not sure why he gets dogs abuse by some on here. Is it because he's Canadian? I don't think his plan to go "patreon only" is going to work but I don't begrudge him making that decision, nor his desire to do this show as a full time job. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who pays £5 a month to him is a complete moron. Sorry. That’s streaming platform of choice territory. Netflix is one pound more expensive for the basic monthly plan.

He also had similar when Smith was sacked, I didnt want Smith sacked but understood the reasons why for example. He irked me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of posters on here from around the globe and still that stupidness pops up.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 In fairness, it's not always about the size of the following. Some people genuinely have a strong core cluster of supporters who love them. I've seen relatively poor channels on Youtube where some people are donating 100 and 200 dollars during a live stream alone. Neil and Co for the Love of Paul McGrath often gets 10, 20 and 50 pounds donated at times. If I had wallops of disposable income, i'd probably financially support multiple different Villa platforms , well, because they are " one of ours " and at the end of the day they dedicate time to supporting the club we all follow. Whether I always agree with them or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels inclusive. For me there are about 5 or 6 well presented, with decent constructive and insightful content YT channels and podcasts, all for free. For me these are better than the Holy Trinity, but I have to say it would be a shame for Pete’s channel to go behind a paywall, it won’t work. MOMS have a Patreon premium option but run enough content to keep you interested. Thanks for the shout out. Appreciate it. We’ve just started YouTube as well, mainly because I can get the audio out quicker and without the need to edit - so makes my life easier. You are all welcome to join us as it is very interactive and fairly laid back. On Pete - I personally really enjoy his content. It’s a difficult one. I know how much work it takes to get content out and mine is fairly low maintenance. I’m lucky that I have a great job that enables me to do this in my spare time and not care about what it achieves but more that I just get some enjoyment out of it. Likewise I’m lucky I was born where I was and I can easily go to games. Others not so lucky so I would never judge anyone. However I do think it’s a mistake to go fully paid. Do a mix like MOMs. Even then you will never make enough money to go full time with just Villa content. I hope he reconsiders as I will miss the content. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 if he is going the Patreon route, he really needs to do the standard stuff free, then offer additional content via patreon, to see what interest there is. If he just goes full patreon, with his channel content, i imagine he will get virtually zero subscribers. im not sure bog standard match review 10 minute videos once a week, are Patreon worthy, there are literally 10s or 100s of these types of channels all doing a similar thing with little variance in quality.

maqroll Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 All the fawning comments on his YouTube channel must've gone to his head. I like his show. I like his enthusiasm. Just not enough to pay him for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 In a world of steep rising cost of living and interest rates, I think this is a very misjudged and ill-timed move, but good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I won’t always agree with him but at least it’s coming from a good place. Back to my original point - it’s so hard to make a living out of this kind of stuff that I think Pete may have been better just doing a crowd funding type of thing. People will see his expensive drinks and paraphernalia and basement full of villa stuff and just say no. The reality may be different but that’s how people think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
