"Farewell to the Hard Drive: An Era Ends in 2024"
The Hard Times and Hard Drive, known for their comedic content, are facing challenges due to social media algorithms and advertising restrictions affecting their reach and revenue. To remain operational and independent, they are launching a Patreon for community support. They promise exclusive content and engagement opportunities for patrons, including articles, ad-free experiences, and a Discord community. If they don't secure enough patronage, they plan to refund subscribers and potentially shut down the Patreon. They encourage financial support or sharing their message to help sustain their comedic projects.
