   So apparently Rod Dreher has more than 12,000 subscribers on substack. This is very disheartening. However, he only gets 2-3 dozen likes/comments per post, and his twitter account gets literally no engagement (single digit likes, 1-2 RTs on average), because he limits replies to people he follows, because if he didn't, he would be mogged constantly.
   
   Overall this strikes me as the end of his public relevance. He can't grow his audience (his substack is mostly locked to subscribers and no one who isn't already a subscriber would check his page for unlocked posts) and he can't go viral on twitter because he has literally zero engagement on twitter. However, it strikes me as plausible if extremely depressing that there are probably ~10k gay retards who are willing to pay $5 a month indefinitely to be locked in the primitive root echo chamber

     @KarlDahl @DK_Dharmaraj I was thinking the same thing, it's like when Chapo Trap House "made" $150K a month on Patreon. This is someone bankrolling him. I doubt there are 12,000 people having $5 a month spare for Dreher, mainly bc the Conservacuck field is already full.

     @DK_Dharmaraj Given the engagement and other figures, however, is it possible that he has (or had) a benefactor that is keeping him on payroll, "washed" as 10k subs, to make him appear relevant so that he's still useful?

     @MechaSilvio @KarlDahl @DK_Dharmaraj On that point, is there anything less threatening to the regime than supposed “revolutionaries” with a six figure patreon account?
     
     Agree with you on CTH, they and the rest of the douchebag left are probably some kind of glowie gayop
