Hey there ๐. I waited awhile to comment on this b/c I wanted to sit with it, and have a second listen. Patreon is not cooperating (app or web), so....๐.
I can understand how things on your side could get out of hand and overwhelming very quickly. You are one person, and there are more than 100 Patreons now. That doesn't include people contacting you via YT, Literotica, and any other venues/sites your material is on. Plus, this isn't your full time job right now and you have a life outside all of this ๐ณ. That is a lot to juggle, even when you are super passionate about what you are doing. You need to do whatever you feel is appropriate to set comfortable boundaries for yourself (on social media and otherwise). That is not something other people should decide or dictate for you.
In regards to marketing/promotion of yourself as an audio artist. Whatever form your marketing/promotion efforts take is entirely up to you. Again, not something other people should decide or dictate. You don't need to explain any of it. However, you do have lots of willing helpers who's reach could be impressive. We are here and willing to assist in your promotion if you need us.
Last of all, thank you โค. Thank you for everything that you do, thank you for sharing your art with us, thank you for the glimpses of yourself that you share with us, thank you for your kind and loving heart, thank you for making all of us feel valued and desirable, thank you for your healing words, thank you ๐.
Take care of yourself luv. We need you around to show the world what a real man should be, and how he should treat a woman. ๐
Gott nytt รฅr (happy new year!) It's going to be a great year!๐ Looking forward to sharing it with you and all my fellow sirens. Also looking forward to some more atomic heart hugs and lots of banter!โค

I only listened to 5 mins of your ramble and I'm already pissed off. First of all the persons who told you to man up on social media? You just give me a name and adress and I'll take care of it. YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO. Whether you want to tweet every second of the day or just once a year (to wish me a HB of course ๐ค) doesn't concern anybody but you. It's your life, your choices. And I'm sick of people deciding for others, or putting expectations on others like they're entitled to have a fucking say in your life. You already give so much, how dare they ask you for more?
Second of all, those people judging what you said on tweeter? Are they for real? This is unbelievable, you must be the most giving humain being I know (right after me ๐) and some people are still complaining.
You're an amazing man Gael, you have an amazing heart and soul, everybody can see it. Heck I could already see that when I was only listening to you on literotica. And that's what led me to your YT channel and now Patreon. What you do is priceless, and there's no amount of money that could justify expecting certain things from you. You help so many people every day on so many levels, there's nothing I could do or say that could repay you (but I'm open to physical rewards ๐).
I know you're above all that negativity but it pisses me off that you get it in the first place. I don't care if a lot of persons are just like that and you can't change them. That's BS, they can shut up, because if they don't I'm lebanese and I know people.
Now that I've said that, should I resume listening or is there a possibility of begining 2017 even more pissed off at the world? HAPPY NEW YEAR by the way. Or goodbye shitty old year? Same thing.
Des poutous ๐
Ps: I'm just a french gal here, so everyone tell me my english is perfect.
Pps: So apparently Gael's voice can get sexier, he just needs to be sick. Interesting. I think this is the begining of a new fetish. Like I don't have enough already.
Ppps: Do people really read comments, especially the long ones? I'll admit I don't, pretty sure nobody does either/neither (don't know how to use those 2 words and proud of it ๐)
Pppps: This is addictive. I want to write some more useless Ps but I shouldn't. But then if no one will read them I can say anything I want.
Ppppps: this is officially an addiction. Yay.

I can't post on Facebook how happy I am for this year to finally be over, so it's awesome to do this somewhere. The metaphor for 2016 is licking my fingers after fixing my cat's food -- awful and shocking. I'm normally a textbook optimist and need very little encouragement since, "tomorrow is another day," but damn, this year SUCKED! I know that 2017 may hold another blow to my family life, but I'm hoping that this time I'm more prepared. Cheers to hope and humor! I'd say it "en Espanol, pero my Spanish sucks too! Feliz ano nuevo, may it be insightful, proactive, and healthy. Happy New Year to y'all as well; may your year be filled

Hello, Claudia! Happy New Year and wonderful Sunday to you, too :D Let's see...right in front of me, I see the top drawer of my chest. The most pleasant thing I see is a buckeye candy. The most annoying thing is a towel. I would like to change...the position of my game console and dvd player. The walls are blue. Looking down...I see my jeans. I call my parents 'Mom' and 'Dad', 'Grandma' and 'Grandpa'. Gas around here is about $1.97 (4.80 where you are?! Jeezus O_O) And yeah, I like when he says his name. And a sample? Every single audio he says it :D

Guten Morgen, meine Liebsten! Greetings from 2017, it seems to be a fairly good year till now! May it stay that way!
So. a wonderful Sonntag - Sunday to everyone!
A new year - a new opportunity to ask some questions... Ja, same old, same old... XD
Today a hopefully tame "interactive" Frage - question...
Okay, here we go... sit up straight, raise your head, look right in front of you... what exactly do you see?
...what is the most pleasant thing you see? ...what`s the most annoying? ... would you like to change something?
...can you see something blue? :)
Now look down...down... what do you see now?
The extra questions... what do you call your parents, your grandparents? ...how much is a gallon of gas currently? (Here it`s about 4,80)
And of course a Gael related one... do you like it, when Gael says his name in an audio? ...name a Beispiel - sample, if you like? ;)
Danke my lovelies! XD

I have watched quite a few online content producers get stressed out from the pressure of "fame" and the expectations of the public, and it's hard to see that happen knowing there's a real person behind the character. It's good to see that you're so self-aware in this situation, and that you're making decisions to take care of yourself and focus your attention on what you actually want instead of fame or following the whims of the public.
I came (ahem) for the audio erotica, but the real person behind "Gael" is important. I don't want to accidentally treat you just as "the deliverer of orgasms". I have noticed something since becoming a patron....I encounter you as the person more, and only sometimes as the orgasm deliverer.....and sometimes I feel bad about the latter! I haven't found the magic formula for recombining the two versions of you, lol.
Have a happy new year Gael (and everyone else too)!

One of my friends has terminal cancer and she sent out 150 hand written letters to all of us last week! And they were really long letters too, it took her weeks.

Shellhearts, as a fellow non-drinker, I'm curious as to whether you toast at all @ midnight? I do, with sparkling apple cider for preference (though ginger ale is fine in a pinch).

I think it's so cool and very touching that you've done some audio work to aid the visually impaired when it comes sex! Really, very sweet and a wonderful way to put your talents to use to improve the lives of others who especially need it. Also, I died at the bit about New Year's in Ireland - and your friend who got an unwanted surprise, LOL! In my true introvert fashion, I always stay home and away from the parties on NYE, and the awkward, slobbery, drunken kiss from a stranger is one of those reasons, especially as a non-drinker, LOL! ๐ค๐ Glad you're on the mend - Happy New Year's! ๐
2016-12-31 21:10:06 +0000 UTC
Happy new year to you :). I am so grateful I found you this past year. Here's to many more of your funny and sexy as hell audios in the next year...oooh and also to the patreon app getting its crap together !
2016-12-31 21:01:45 +0000 UTC
If all we can do in this life is bring peace and joy to one soul, we have made a tremendous contribution to this world!
I'm grateful for a platform where someone like Gael can touch so many lives around the world, and where he can spread the love by inducing healing, happy feelings.
Lol, can you imagine me sitting with family around the dinner table tonight?
Brother says, "I'm grateful for my health."
Sister says, "I'm grateful for my children."
I say, "I'm grateful for an erotic audio artist who makes me laugh almost as hard as he makes me cum. Can you pass the potatoes?"

We all appreciate what you do, especially because you dont HAVE to bless us with your amazing voice! Thanks Gael and we look forward to a New Year of your witty and sexy personality!
2016-12-31 20:29:33 +0000 UTC
What you just explained here is the truth. In fact, it's one of the biggest reasons why I don't do social media (-especially- Tumblr). That, and a lot people can be, and are, so mean :(
2016-12-31 20:07:51 +0000 UTC
Happy New Year Sirens and Gael!!!
Thank you Gael for explaining your thought processes to us. It's really kind of you to share with us what's going on in your mind.
Most times I think people in your position would just say, "fuck it, take me or leave me and don't bother me to explain what I do and how I do it." Your respect for this community is palpable and heartfelt and I thank you ๐
I'm so glad to be a part of things here. I know Patreon is going to be a fun and much needed outlet for me. ๐๐๐

I think the biggest problem I have with social media is that it can promote the idea that external validation is the primary way to achieve personal satisfaction. I mean, it's great in that it allows people to communicate with one another and express themselves in ways that weren't possible even 20 or 30 years ago. But there are undoubtedly people who've unfortunately bought into the idea that what they present on social media is of no value unless it's liked or retweeted or reblogged by a certain number or type of individuals. And then some people (Tumblr seems to be notorious for this, I've noticed) try to spin in into a popularity contest, and then you're just bombarded by messages/posts that emphasize quantity over quality, and communication via social media tends to become superficial fairly quickly.
Or at least that's what I tell my mother to try to dissuade her from getting a Facebook account so that she can keep tabs on me.
No one is going to ever get external validation (e.g., that pat on the back) from 100% of the population because you simply can't please everyone. That's why internal validation - being proud of your own accomplishments and being content with what you're doing - is the metaphorical cake rather than the icing. Of course it's a real downer to be criticized by others for doing what you enjoy or believe in, so life becomes a lot easier if you're able to detach yourself from that and focus on pleasing yourself first. Any appreciation, compliments, gratitude, etc. is the icing, the sprinkles, the drizzle of sauce, and the tiny puffs of cream.
I was trying to go somewhere profound with this, but now I just want cake. So, happy new year everyone!

Thanks for the mini-ramble! The laughs were so welcome -- it's been a rough couple of days. It was kind of you to explain a bit of what's been going on & answer some of the questions & worries people have expressed. What you've described sounds exciting, though, and social media can go hang if it's more stress than reward (for any definition of reward). Here's to a lovely, quiet evening with your ginger beers, and may 2017 be kinder to us all.
