Jack, Jack, Jack. No one gives a hoot about creators using crowdfunding to support their work. I donate regularly to people who do stuff I enjoy and have been known to kick in a one off donation where I've particularly enjoyed an article by someone I don't regularly support. The problem I have is with you is that you promise so much and deliver very little. Worse than that many squigs seem to think donating to you helps the poor when it does nothing of the kind. If you can make a living flogging recipes for foul slurry, then good for you. It's the lying I can't stand.
I have spent most of my career working with people who have
duck all and am in a state of permaraging despair at the lack of attention given to poverty and the way they're spoken down to, demonised and locked out of influencing solutions to their own problems. When I see a useless grifter like Jack monetising her childish family drama whilst claiming to help people it enrages me. I work with people all the time who constantly talk themselves down and have no clue how brilliant and skilled they are because they don't get the chance to make the most of themselves and quite often their skills lie in stuff like caring or manual work that society as a whole doesn't value- failing to realise we'd be fucked without those skills. I really wish my clients could monetise things like caring for their elderly parents or disabled children or doing odd jobs or volunteering in their community the way Jack has monetised her
bleeping endless passive aggressive tantrum at her mum and dad because then they'd be able to treat themselves and frankly their daily anecdotes and jokes would be far more interesting that Jack's rotten shitting arse.
Somewhere out there in an alternative universe there is a Jack who when fame came a knocking realised what a gift she'd been handed and set about learning real campaigning skills, good basic cooking skills and learned from her mistakes. I believe she's making a great living from her budget cookery books and shows and has highlighted many important issues whilst working in partnership with a range of campaigning charities. Is there any chance we could swap our Jack for Good Jack?
