Does Fanbase Need a Consistent Space to Boost User Morale?

 By DaniMarie

Earlier today, I hopped into a social audio room on Fanbase hosted by one of the app’s most respected curators, DaEssence. He’s known for creating warm, welcoming spaces and has been one of the most consistent, community-rooted voices on the app since the early stages.

This particular room? It hit different.

DaEssence was joined by Chowder another respected creator, and then—like a true plot twist—Isaac Hayes III himself, the founder of Fanbase, popped in to listen and join the conversation.

What unfolded next was what I can only describe as a real-time moment of truth.

DaEssence was vulnerable. He voiced frustrations that many of us have felt but haven’t always said out loud. And Isaac? He didn’t dodge it. He didn’t spin it. He received it, responded to it, and gave the kind of transparency most platforms don’t offer.

It wasn’t an argument.
It wasn’t a PR spin.
It was a mutual ego-drop in the middle of a room full of creators who care.

And for a moment, it reminded me exactly why I fell in love with this platform in the first place.

It Felt Less Like a Room… and More Like a Pep Rally

What DaEssence did wasn’t just moderating—it was rallying the troops. It was a soft reset, a collective pause. A space where creators got to take a breath and say, “Hey, I’m still here, and I still believe in this app—but I need a little recharge.”

It got me thinking:

We used to have marketing rooms that served this exact purpose. They were our weekly check-ins. Our community-building fuel stations. A place to say:

• “Here’s what content is working right now.”

• “I just got five new subscribers doing X, Y, Z.”

• “This feature changed the game for me.”

• “Anyone else feeling stuck?”

And honestly? We need that back.

The Magic is in the Merge: Marketing Room x Pep Rally

Here’s the thing: the tech talk rooms on Thursdays? The investor rooms on Tuesdays? They’re valuable—but they’re speaking to a different audience.

• Tech rooms speak to the product.

• Investor rooms speak to the money.

• But marketing rooms? They speak to us—the everyday creators building our community one subscriber at a time.

They were never just “strategy spaces.”
They were community glue.
They helped us get in alignment with Fanbase’s mission, hear success stories, and adjust our content approach to actually win on the app.

So… Does Fanbase Need a Morale Room?

Yes. Absolutely. 1000%.

Not because we’re losing hope—but because we’re in the middle of building something great, and sometimes builders need a water break.

We need a room that feels like both a pep rally and a planning session. A space that:

• Celebrates wins and milestones

• Gives platform updates in everyday language

• Spotlights successful creators (and breaks down how they did it)

• Reignites belief in what we’re doing and why it matters

My Honest Takeaway

Today’s room reminded me that morale is a strategy.

You can have the dopest app in the world, but if your creators are burnt out, confused, or unseen—it won't matter. And Fanbase has a chance to be different. To create space for reinvigoration, not just information.

This isn’t about bringing back one room.
It’s about bringing back the heartbeat of the community.

So do we need more marketing rooms—or more pep rallies?

We need both. But especially the ones that feel like both.

Fanbase is still growing. And honestly, so are we.
But if we want to retain creators, uplift users, and keep the fire lit—it starts with intentional community spaces.

Let’s bring back the rooms that remind us:
“You’re not building alone.”
“You’re not crazy for caring this much.”
“You’ve still got something worth sharing.”

Whether you call it a marketing room, a digital pow-wow, or a content creators’ circle...

Let’s create the space.
Let’s build the energy.
Let’s boost the morale.

We need it now more than ever.
