If I knew the money would contribute to the forums I'd donate. I donate here every time Lowtax posts the link. But man I can't bring myself to watch other people play a video game unless it's to overcome a part of one that has me stuck.

Make a SA patreon, Lowtax. Also sell merch I can buy. I'd prolly buy a hat with the grenade on it and maybe a T-shirt.

youtube should do him a solid and forcibly rename his channel, memes/trends from 5 years ago. I'd legit subscribe because old memes give me nostalgia trips.

He'd get a ton of views.

Like he said getting his logo on T shirts and selling it was a lot of work. Yea maybe in 2000. Today you send the jpg over, post the link in an announcement thread, and collect the cash.

More like 2002-present. I'd say maybe a little later, but I think that's around when the forums started let's plays and he seems to have just discovered them

Lol, wait, lowtax is going to have videos only available to his patrons? Please, someone link this thread to him on Twitter. He seriously just doesn't quite understand how this newfangled money for nothing thing works. You upload your content as usual, but maybe patrons have access to videos earlier. Or they're invited to your super secret live streams where you do Q&A and search for new games. You don't just hide all your content behind pay wall. It's still going to be better than just YouTube ads, because I bet lowtax didn't event go through the trouble of joining a network, but it's​ the second worst way to do things if what you do is funny LPs. Why couldn't he ask slowbeef to help him out with this?

Well you see he wasn't making enough money from the YouTube ads so he's going to get rid of them entirely because the last thing you want is diversity in your revenue streams

I hate watching lowtax bumble around like an old man screaming at a world he doesn't understand anymore

Personally I'd love some let's plays from Lowtax involving games I actually know or would be interested in playing or even watching

I mean haha that game made by a 14 year old is very glitchy, heh, well that's 18 seconds of amusement, next

Making fun of these lovely first game attempts just feels like ehh...

Instead of making videos of himself playing video games, maybe get a skill or education or job. maybe HVAC training at your local community college?

I'm sure Slowbeef loves that the tax is just doing what retsupurae did years ago. And like dozens of other channels do.

Wheres your X factor Lowtax? Before it was the fact you had a deranged furry pedophile with a weird voice do games with you.


You need a new X factor or you need to kiss and make up with Schmorky.

Hmmm so a day and a half of work at Dairy Queen would net you more money than a month of YouTube revenue?
