Finally just became a paid subscriber. Always touch all the buttons on each DF episode. All the way back to the beginning. Sorry it took so long. Please keep DF going. I don’t need more production quality. It’s great. Just need more views. I can’t believe it’s still stuck where it’s been for years. It’s complete BS and I’ll continue to sing your praises. Also got my wife to watch regularly.

Thanks for calling out all the crazy on both sides. DF is better than what the daily show was at its peak.

You rock! , I often subscribe to a lot of stuff out there which eventually goes by the wayside . I’d like to upgrade my paid to founding just need to shed some of the riff raff. It’s good to hear you be transparent as I have always wanted to be a writer but liftoff has been a struggle. But as you said it’s a trade off. I hope you and your family are doing good

Hello- I'm a subscriber on locals but it doesn't seem to give me access on Substack. Are they separate subscriptions or is an annual supposed to give access to both?

Hi sorry I'm just seeing this! They are separate although we post in both places all the content. So if you're a subscriber there, you don't need to join here or vice versa. We want people to be able to choose what the prefer.

Became a paid subscriber yesterday through Substack. Been subscribed to DF on YouTube since nearly the beginning. Please keep doing what you're doing, Bridget. The world needs your humor and your voice of reason. Also, do Livestreams with super chats, open up a Patreon, create a DF venmo or cash app, etc. Diversify your income streams. Also, maintaining a regular schedule of video releases, whatever that schedule may be, helps push the algorithm. Hang in there, and DF forever!

I'm really glad to hear that people were willing to do that. If I was in a position to do so, I absolutely would for sure.

Best episode ever. Hamas girl summer. I’m dead.

Trying to upgrade my subscription also but it won’t let me do it in the app. Will try online. Better you to take my money than Starbucks.

Back in my college days of 2000-2004 we literally had nothing to protest, we were just like, yeah smoke em out of their caves, mmerrrica fck yeah, while we hula hooped at the phish shows in our Birkenstocks on a lot of drugs and PbR. You nailed it.

Dumpster Fire is what the Daily Show should be. Without all the bleeding heart capture.
