hi folks! jae here. welcome to the first financial update of 2023! this is a long one with a lot to discuss so strap in. as always, I recommend taking a look at past financial updates for context on terminology and concepts.
first off: where have we been? why has this financial update taken so long to come out?
2023 has been kind of a mess for us thus far. I was unfortunately kind of a non-entity due to health issues (complications from long covid) during the entirety of Q1, meaning that all work I had planned (including revenue-generating work) was automatically delayed. I’m currently the only one who writes these, which means that if I forget or am unable, it doesn’t happen. (we’re working on fixing this part.) I realize this is kind of a non-answer but it’s the truth. I have a bad working memory so sometimes I forget things, like that I need to write the financial update. fellow ADHD-havers will probably understand.
on to the meat!
wow! i went to increase the quantity of my cohost plus subscription (did you know that you can increase the quantity of cohost plus subscriptions you have by going to your subscription settings?) and hadn't realized i had been on cohost plus for almost a full year! it's been a year?!?! what the fuck!
anyway, i am now at cohost++, a thing which grants me absolutely no benefit, and in a year i plan on upgrading to cohost+++, and a year after that, and so on. if i die before cohost i will stipulate in my will a fund which will continue to increase my cohost plus subscription quantity once a year
