i am like unreasonably offended at shit a friend spotted on bird hellsite
i get that nobody is owed your time, and your time is money. however, if you show off "look at what i got on taobao for only 4 dollars!!!", you should probably expect people asking where you got it
and if your gig is using your patreon to show off the work you've done finding cool shit on taobao - for god's sake market yourself better than being rude to people interested in your product
oh oh oh and the kicker i just realized
since you have to use a shopping service, and they require the URL to do that, it's not actually a case of digging through browsing history with great difficulty.
it's about the same difficulty as looking up a past order on amazon, a la "oh yeah i've really enjoyed this bodywash i got, let me link you the exact one". at *most*.
honestly not an amount of effort you should expect $10 on patreon for imho, lol
@InspectorCaracal HONESTLY! like omg, it's BEGGING for a self-promo. "it's so cute isn't it? i have the link up on my patreon - for just a buck, you can get access to it and all my posts, where i scope out some choice cute shit for you to buy and even have tips on how to shop on taobao!" IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER! AND BETTER!
like are you doing a capitalism or ain'tcha here, omg
@wigglytuffitout i'm mostly in awe over the complete self-promotion fail involved
like, have a form reply being like I'm glad you like my channel! I share all my finds on Patreon, you can get all of that for only $X/month, here is the link, sign off with a bunch of flower emoji and sparkles and shit or whatever
