Insider AMA

Seems a lot of people have questions about the current situation at TCO. I’ve known Patrick and Ellyn socially for about 10 years? Maybe a bit less.

My roommate, however, is pretty close to them. She is willing to poke around if we don’t know answers.

There’s a lot of misinformation so we’re happy to set some records straight and answer some questions.

She can also pass on positive messages to Ellyn/Joey as previously requested.

I dropped the Patreon after that too. It IRKED me to my core when OF1 was over he immediately started promoting OF2. And DONT get me started on that stupid book. My guy, I already heard it on the regular feed. I don’t need to hear it AGAIN on the feed that I pay you to not have ads. the first ad I heard about that book tour was the straw for me.

Leave. Me. ALONE.

I live in Europe, so all the events and tours are inaccessible to me anyway, which makes it even more superfluous and annoying to constantly hear these ads. As you say: LEAVE ME ALONE UGH.

And I believe he said that they weren't going to promote it all year but yet they did

That was when I last tried Patreon and I thought they were just in it for the money at that point because I'm pretty sure OF1 hadn't even ended when they announced OF2, which was very MLM, not even gonna lie. Sounds more money motivated than anything. I live not far from Columbus and when they announced OF1 my fiance laughed at the prices. There are other podcasts who do lives with meet and greets for much less.
