edit: I want to give people money for giving me content. People that are a fan of this content shun the idea of giving them money. "just click on their ads!!" instead of promoting the idea they let us give them money to take the ads away for more money than clicking on the ads is worth. Even if they make more money from clicking on ads then they would from us ~~~~~+50,0000 followers giving them ~~~~$5 a month for everything they do for us. Why is there such an opposition of giving them money every month? E: I don't want to increase their workload at all. Their content is exceptional. All I want to do is give them money on the idea that they're giving us immense content. All I've been doing these last couple hours is bringing up the thought that they allow an option where you can give them money every month to take ads off. Is that such a crazy consideration that doesn't add any workload on them at all? roach cum puddle fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jul 25, 2014 |

Do you really want to increase their already high workload by a fuckload just so you don't have to see ads? Is it possible that money isn't the primary goal? Have you thought out how much additional work it would be to segment their fanbase that already appreciates everything they do as is?

Their videos have 20 second advertising?!?! If only there was a way to watch these videos faster!!! If only there was a way to give these people money!!!! How could they possibly combine these two things to make a profit off of their never-ending content!!!!?!?! If only they could give us the option to take ads off!!! But surely they're already making enough money from merchandise and clicking on ads that they don't need this extra money from fans that would give them this extra money to not have 20 second ads because they are fans of something that want to give that something money every month!!! What assholes!!!

My understanding is a couple years ago, the ad revenue plus whatever else (Machinima money?) was enough for two men to quit their jobs for a much more lucrative career as YouTube pros. This is their job, I'm sure they know how to do it better than you. If you want to say thanks, send them a nice letter, buy some stickers, or just watch or buy something off an ad. These are the ways to give back that they have now, and if it makes sense on their end to have more, I'm sure they will set that up. Bottom line, chill out, dude, and let the Zaibatsu figure out what is the best way for them to provide for themselves. You can just save up your Obama autism bucks under the mattress until they make a polo or whatever you want and buy 50 of them then l.

No one's answered this question, and I want someont to honestly answer it: "Why is it such a terrible thing as a fan to ask for a membership where I give money to something that I like so I don't have to watch 20-second ads?" E: It's not that I'm not chill, I just want to throw money at these dudes for something as simple as taking ads off of their videos. It's not adding/taking away from content for anyone. All it is is "Hey, I like what you do. I wanna give money to you. Can I give money to you without goons getting furious at me?"

All I've done is suggest to someone that their content I enjoy so much would make more money by letting us fans give them more money by taking ads off of their videos. The other fans of Super Fest Friends have been the "pain in the rear end" by using all their might to reject this business model. I'm not saying "YOU SHOULD DO THIS HEY YOU SHOULD DO THIS HEY DO THIS DO THIS DO THIS" like people are lead to believe. I just both don't want ads and also want to give them money. What a pain in the rear end fan????

What you should've taken from my post was the last sentence. I'm surprised Pat's not getting that much hate over the DS2 playthrough, that game has a notoriously annoying and nitpicky fanbase. Pat/Woolie's also a pretty good combination, and I sorta remember either Matt or one of the two saying they tried doing a series together and it went horribly. I can't see why, both this and IHNMAIMS are legit.

I honestly don't want to be hostile with other SBF fans, because this is where I found out about them. I'm a new fan, and I know they started a new site, and all I want is them to make money from us because they deserve it. What is the easiest way for them to make money without adding more content? By letting us pay to take off ads. That's all I'm suggesting. I didn't mean for all this shittery to shittery, I just want to give these guys money for their content. I don't like their shirts or their posters, and I completely get the idea of "Well buy it anyways to support them" because I've done it for Uhh Yeah Dude, but I was just suggesting that they let us pay to take adds off. roach cum puddle fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Jul 25, 2014 |

You're probably right, although AVGN has had DVDs for sale for a while now. It probably helps that most of the games he reviews are 2+ decades old.

Pat may be onto something about burning SA to the ground. Murdered: Soul Suspect seems to have rather cluttered mechanics. I'm with Pat and Matt on wondering what the hell Woolie and Liam find so good about the game.

Do yourself and everyone else a favour and stop posting for a while I made it a point like 8 posts ago that all I'm doing is sitting on the internet watching my internet. My idea still stands that I want to pay the dudes to not have ads. I'm sorry. e: "for some support for your idea that no one else gives a poo poo about", the topic on premium membership was discussed for a whole page before I even gave my input. roach cum puddle fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Jul 25, 2014 |
