So, there's an association now. Is it non-profit? What happens to the money donated before Dec 29th?

My understanding is that unless certification was gotten - it’s NOT retrospective .

2021 forward under the licence and it is a licence

no licence no tax break ....

I agree. It's personal income and she pays a lot of taxes for it. She's already spent money on salaries, gravel, plants etc. There's no money left to put in the pot. She's not spending her YT-money on the house.

I'm wondering how many of her lower tier patrons she'll lose over this Zoom video. Is this just a ploy to get the top tier patrons to give even more than they do now? I'm not a patron so it shouldn't concern me but I'm just curious.....

  • thank you @Sandton for the glasses explanation! "Re glasses. After driving around without glasses since hers broke several years ago. Stefniiii decided to go get new glasses. Unlike most normal people who would get one pair or maybe two to have one as a spare sj decided to get three pairs of expensive designer glasses in true Princess stefniiii style."
  • @Marquis de Potpourri confirms the rug *has* been brought back inside, conversation is had over the fact that the rug doesn't seem to have been cleaned .... 😬 even though a "carpet shampooer/vacuum cleaner" has been spotted at the chateau in a previous vlog - thank you for the reminder @Lorelei60
  • More chapel chat
  • @Clara Burnett's friends and Dan have been posting about severe flooding in the area, but no mention from Stephanie yet. tattler's are trying to piece together when the latest vlogs were actually filmed.
  • I don't completely understand 'what' was declared, but something official was declared with La Lande on December 29, 2020 in the sub-prefecture of La Châtre - what was declared? has Stephanie shared it was declared with patreons?
    • @YoungAtHeart says "When you make an “Association 1901” in France you have to register and declare it at your local Prefecture. It’s all quite tightly controlled. You have to declare the statutes of the association, members, paid or unpaid, etc etc."
    • @arthur adds "declaration and registration don't involve necessarily non-profit"
    • @lolander wonders "Just one question: What happens to the patreon money donated before Dec 29th? Is it her private income? Patreons, keep us posted!"
  • Instead of a patron video this week, Stephanie and gang are hosting a zoom call ... but are not inviting the bottom tiers. :oops: Stephanie must have assessed the risk and decided upsetting any lower tier patrons was a financially sound choice? 🤷‍♀️
As always, everything and nothing XO 🖤

She lost around 40k subs when she started Patreon and has a had a decline in subs since. Now treating patreons like most of them are peons. Denying them their extra video they paid for. Cutting them out of decision making I assume is going to piss a lot of them off. We'll see what happens.

Thankfully SJ started pandering about her E-begging immediately on the first video I played from late April last year. Yes she got 1 veiw. But the percentage her engagement went down causes her overall score to decrease way more. That's the video in which her highness anouces patreon and on her graph her subs took a nose dive.

Didn't she say, that the Zoom chat will be turned into a video, for the lower tier to watch, when done.
Some of them may be furious (I would be)
Some of them may get FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), and become higher tier Patreons.
Is the decision a win/win for SJ?

That is an amazing amount of money to lose. Definitely not good business planning.

She should always look after the pennies as they make the pounds. This should be applied to lower tier patrons as well as whatever she is calling the upper tiers.

If folk are daft enough to pay, then they are daft and will pay. They should really question the value added extras.

I suppose these critiques will fall on deaf ears and be seen as underhand, however, she really is not doing herself any favours and whilst it doesn't affect me personally I imagine many more disgruntled patrons will be heading to Tattle's shores.

Seems the stunning funeral flowers that FRK posted have led to an increase in her income from Patreon. Up to £1008 a month now!
Well played if that's the case, I am obviously in the wrong business.

I will be rescuing Mrs G's dead flowers from the compost heap and artfully display next to empty bottles of whisky and unmade bed.

I shall call it ' The downfall of Mr.G!' My eulogy shall read...caught in the shed, Mr G lead a long and industrious life. His dodgy ticker finally gave way trying to meet his Freudian needs. He lost the plot on Tattle. Adieu, Adieu, Adieu ☠

So, the video that the Zoom call is turned into will be the Patreon video that all the patrons pay for?...if so then they won't have much to complain about. Maybe they'll all want a Zoom call...if so, that would be a tit-ton of people on one call!!!...LOL

It would actually be kind of weird if the low tier donors were mad about having to watch the zoom meeting later. Are they THAT into it and want their face on a 1000 person grid yelling "I'm Mallory what are you going to do about the damp! Love you Stef!" I'm looking forward to seeing the wildcats that pay an extra $99 to be in the meeting.

That's why she kept it to the higher tier patrons I suppose because it simply would not be possible to host a zoom call of that size.

SJs super fans aka felons and silver back flying monkeys along with her core group of fans just found out where they are on the pecking order. This kind of elitest behavior will definitely undermine the sense of community her core fans have. That's going to effect her stats and super chats.

Is she treating this Zoom meet-up like a shareholder meeting/AGM? If she is, then every one of her paying patrons should be on it. It doesn't matter how many thousands show up, the moderator CAN MUTE everyone, so every Mallory who wonders about the damp can be kept quiet. Otherwise, it will confirm what many already suspect (and some are already convinced of): for the Queen of Lalande, the gift is more important than the giver.
