We’re on Patreon!

Big news! We’re finally on Patreon!

The goal of Creator’s Digest is (and always will be) to cover the latest creator news and help you become a better more knowledgable creator.

On Patreon, we’ll be doing just that!

You can choose which creators we should feature next, get early access to articles before they launch and once I start doing videos (probably summer 2022), patrons will get those exclusively.

The goal is to have an entirely ad-free space through the support of you, the fans.

Why This Matters: Patreon gives me more creative freedom than Substack & if you want to support for half the price of a coffee or half a gallon of gas, it’s $3/month right here to join on Patreon!


Inside.com relaunches to take on link aggregator startups

Inside.com becomes a social aggregator for users to put all their links from their business card into one place where they can also converse and engage with fans.

In their words, it’s ā€œa social networking site with no spam, no self-promotion, no bullshit. All signal and no noise.ā€ It’s founder and CEO is Jason Calacanis, who revealed the product via livestream a few weeks ago. The product itself is positioned to take on link aggregator startups like Koji, LinkTree, Hoo.be and many more. Many of those startups aggregate people’s social links and those companies have collectively raised $10B+ in the last year from investors.

Why This Matters: Inside’s newsletter reaches 250K people monthly and is uniquely positioned to be a place where a user can aggregate their links AND participate in conversations all-in-one place, think LinkedIn + LinkTree.


How one VTuber interviewed Jared leto

Shirakami Fubuki is a female Japanese virtual YouTuber (VTuber) owned and made by Hololive, a Japanese corporation, she has almost 2M subscribers on YouTube. Fubuki is from a long list of VTuber who essentially are virtual avatars that do various things to entertain their audiences. Similar to a human YouTuber, VTubers are unique in that they are a character themselves. While a human has to deal with the safety & privacy problems of becoming famous if they start gaining subscribers, most VTuber creators are relatively unknown compared to their avatar counterpart.

VTubers are also massively popular because you can make an avatar do many things that a human cannot. A VTuber last year went viral on Twitch when a certain command entered in the chat made the avatar blow up. Once the chat figured it out, the avatar was blown up almost 5,000 times during the hour long stream.

Fubuki interviewed Jared Leto for the promotion of his new movie, Morbius. While on the press circuit promoting the film, they lined up this delightful interview for a global audience.

Why This Matters: Out of the almost 8B people on the planet, only 1.2B speak English. So, whether you’re making a YouTube video or a big production movie, you’re speaking to a GLOBAL audience who may not speak english.
