Were you guys aware that Jay follows our girl Jude on twitter, lol.
Also where the fuck is all their content?
I was looking at their social medias trying to find something to laugh at and everything is dry as fuck. Even their twitters. Most of their recent tweets are like back in the middle of october. Jay's latest youtube video was from like 2 years ago. Corrisa, excluding the post from a week ago, hadn't posted in like 10 months. There content is dry and they aren't posting.
Are they really just floating on patreon at this point? It's just wild to me that content creators can seemingly make a living without posting content.
All of their content is now safely locked away on Patreon, so it can't be seen and mocked.
This is a bad long-term strategy, however, because quality free content is what drives new supporters to Patreon. Viewers/listeners of your free content enjoy what they're getting, and want to support you. Getting extras and exclusives is nice, but is not why most of them do it—they just like what you do and want to throw money your way so you can keep doing it.
Locking away all of your most significant content behind a paywall means that people who are just discovering you can only judge whether you're worth supporting by looking at your old content that's still un-paywalled. But nobody really wants to look at old content; people raised on the internet are only willing to scroll back so far, and if the newest content is more than about six months old, they assume you're not doing much any more. That gives them no incentive to sign up to Patreon, because they have no idea whether you're actually producing anything worthwhile. It also discourages new SM followers from adding you, and leads your followers to gradually drop you, because you're not producing anything interesting any more. Which means that as she inevitably loses patrons, it will be difficult for her to recruit new ones.
If you look at either Corissa and Juliana's Patreon pages, there are previews of all their posts. Juliana hasn't posted since October 5th, when she announced she was going on hiatus for mental health reasons. Corissa has made 29 posts since June 14, but only three in the last month; you'd think with a new house she'd at least do some low-effort posts by putting up tons of pics, but she hasn't.
Corissa's got 107 patrons at the moment. There are two slots left at the $2 level meant for poorfats (I think she started with 25?), but her next tier is $10, which is a lot for the kind of content she's evidently producing. It's also a barrier to anybody who wants to join and see if it's to their liking; they might do it at $5, but not at $10.
I assume nobody has signed up for her $50 tier, which is for all those cis men who allegedly want to fetishize her.
So if she has 23 $2 slots filled, and the rest are $10 subscribers, she's got $886/month in subscriptions. I don't know how much Patreon takes out of that, but she's not bringing in much. It is still, however, more than adequate compensation, given how little effort she puts into it.
J still has her full-time job, I believe, so that plus the two Patreons with some erratic sponcon/commission and Corissa's alleged merch sales should be (operative word is should) enough to sustain them, at least for now, in small-town Kansas. They probably pull in at least $4K a month all told. And their monthly spending on food is probably a bigger money suck than the mortgage and utilities, lmao.
At least they're out of DoorDash range, have limited options for fast food, and are forced to do more of their own cooking; they should save a fortune every month due to that alone—or they will unless they burn up a lot of gas driving up to Lawrence to eat at restaurants and get their favorite fast food on a regular basis.
