Yardbomb posted:Woolie: Doesn't do Patreon, does do noted super scumbag company Uber He isn't against it because of a moral opposition, it's because he (and the other guys) feel there's a sense of obligation that comes with Patreon's format. We've been through this before.

I think it was touched on before but supposedly there are extenuating circumstances that prevent them from using Patreon.

Not familiar with canadian tax laws, but I'm assuming between Machinia paying for their miscellaneous expenses and a relatively mid-tier channel in video views (Like, compared to Game grumps) and can still fully support 4 households, seems like it's working fine right now.

Uber also treats their customers poorly though is the thing. They also treat reporters, politicians and so on who call them out on their stuff poorly.

Uber has a lot of questionable business practices (and so do cab companies, but that's besides the point), but I'm not gonna call out a dude that looks like Woolie for using the service that doesn't fly right past by him at night.

Oh yeah I don't even mean the stuff about Woolie here (It was mostly a joke in the first place ) , he can do whatever if it's the only choice, I just like to gripe about Uber.

Ugh, Uber just got into my city last week, bringing a massive shitstorm and a driver getting ambushed and lynched by cab drivers, so I get it, I'm just tired of it, hehe.

Aw, I wanted it the other way around, cute Zach with the meaner sounding name I forgot. It's weird, I haven't followed Uber stuff too closely, I've for awhile I heard a lot of stuff about them being shady as gently caress, then literally everything I see for my city's subreddit is overwhelmingly in favor of Uber because the cabbies/cab company in my city is apparently horrible.

Yeah, without derailing the thread too much, Uber is predatory as gently caress and screws their drivers, but cab companies tend to not be so great either - and Uber has a veneer of "coolness" around it, while cabbies are chain-smoking conservative fucks according to most people. So when Uber gets somewhere, they work that angle hard to get people behind them, and it's not untrue, but it also doesn't make Uber less aggressive.

Uber is made up of huge, abusive, scumbags who have nothing but disdain for both driver and rider alike, but of all the people to carry the smallest amount of water possible for them a black dude liking them because in his area cabbies are racist as gently caress probably has the most reasonable reason to support a different flavor of scumbag than the baseline scumbag cabbie so it's just genuinely hard to give any amount of poo poo about Woolie sometimes saying "Uber is good".

On a barely-more-on-topic note, I was reading the current SA Undertale LP because i frickin love undertale and also I tend to miss tons of easter eggs because I'm actually liam irl. For example, apparently you can enter Sans' room if you go thru his true pacifist spiel three times by reloading your save after it WHAT. frickin' undertale

Somehow Uber manages to be worse on a much larger scale. Like the time a driver raped a passenger in Dehli and they refused to talk to the investigators. It was then banned, but they continued to operate and sent everyone with an account (including the rape victim) a coupon.

I remember when I first found the thread suggesting the Best Friends getting a Paypal tipjar or Patreon or something because I wanted to help support them. I remember drat near everyone trying to shout me out of the thread for suggesting that. Good times, good times. But, seriously, though. I'd be down for supporting a Patreon/tipjar to see a SaltyBet video/stream every week/month. That poo poo was the best.

Ah, well, I figured it was a troll. Ignored and I'll move on - and so should you. edit: in a fruitless effort to keep the shitposting away, Capcom Cup is next week. If you guys are even vaguely interested in Street Fighter, it's probably gonna be a blast. I'm looking at the brackets and it's so stacked, going 0-2 isn't even embarassing, it's just unlucky.
