Crisis averted.
I heard from Fran that Patrons have come through and made up the loss, so it's business as usual, at least for now. She'll do a follow-up video.
The continuum of support shows how the base pulls through in times of need, but it resembles the scenario of giving money to an addict. I ceased support after a series of ranting videos about the insufferable weight of her life choices, despite having enough clout to do unimaginable things such as changing
Google results about her or being able to financially pull out of crisis after crisis.
The criticism about suggestions provided by outsiders is impossible to curb, especially when the reasons and line of thought are supposedly made public. I mentioned years ago: when you receive money from someone, it can come with a slight loss of leverage on what you do, as spending choices start to become much more scrutinized by the public (such as the flight school or the near space event).
I only hope she does not burn her credibility for new supporters and stretch the patience of her existing by having yet another unfallible plan that pretty much resembles the former one. The supporters may feel they are giving money to someone that is not making reasonable monetary decisions and the risk of a steep drop in income is quite real.
