That's very kind of you. No Patreon and Western sponsors are understandably reluctant to work with a Chinese national- even those that are ok with my appearance. Chinese businesses can't figure out how I am still online, most don't want to risk the association but a few do and sponsor just enough to keep the lights on. It's tight some months though.
Would you be up for receiving cryptocurrency, either as sponsoring (like your tipeee site) or just as donations?
EDIT: See now that you already accept the main ones <3
Pro tip for when you have the time: Generate a new BTC address (native segwit bech32; starts with "bc1" instead of "1"). It will lower fees significantly, which can be a difference between a smaller donation being meaningful or not when fees are higher)

All her recent YouTube videos have cryptocurrency donation addresses for BTC, BCH, LTC, ETH, and XMR (Monero).
You're right! Was on mobile where YT isn't available for me.

I think you can install youtube-dl (or yt-dlp) in termux, or if not maybe use NewPipe.
I do, just usually save it for when I'm on a proper computer. (Piped is my fav altfront for YT so far BTW)
For any random project that gets posted on HN, "hey, author here..." posts will typically end up at the top of the page, let's hope we also manage for this one here.
I had honestly not ever thought about your financials, simply assuming that with such a prolific youtube chain you would be fine. Your first twitter thread about this a few days ago made me reconsider, and given that youtube are being so arrogant about this I just signed up for a small $5 subscription on your tipeee.
@everyone: if your stance is "just ditch youtube" then this is your chance to make it possible: https://en.tipeee.com/naomiwu/
Edit: wow, just read through the rest of the thread. Actually a lot of back and forth going on. I stand corrected. :)
