there's some good poo poo coming out of Gaming Garbage, like that Dontrel thing that i think stars a rapist dolphin

Gaming Garbage posted:


We here at Gaming Garbage are dedicated to relentlessly mocking and showcasing the absolute worst video games in existence (we once attempted to play video games that don't exist, but that ended up being very difficult to record). Since our channel began roughly 191 years ago, we've pumped out over 400 videos and shared countless video game abominations to the world, from Dontrel the Dolphin to Beestmeal.

Unfortunately, we don't earn jack poo poo from doing this, since none of the games we play are even remotely popular (for good reason), and as a result, nobody knows of our channel. Also we're not funny or amusing in any possible way, although that's never stopped the remaining 99% of Youtube creators. We're bringing in a whopping $140 a month in ad revenue, and to be completely honest, it's somewhat disheartening. We'd love to do more videos on a constant basis, but it's difficult to justify dedicating so much time to a videos that generate less revenue than the cost of a McDonald's combo meal.

lowtax is doing some p funny videos and they're earning just over a quarter of what Shmorky is earning, so imo we should give him some money and he can use some of it to fix the forums

I think lowtax deserves some money for his funny videos. But his supporter tiers are not very good, and I require a good supporter tier for my money. Maybe I'll just watch his videos for free without ad block instead. This is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

None of these reward tiers seem to be anything real.

Also, people have paid Shmorky $1500 since January and he hasn't drawn poo poo while still happily accepting their money lol

I'd be fine with having a few more racially segregated subforums.
Maybe start segregating subforums after sex too?

i think lowtax should find a way to play good games in a way that people want to watch instead of bad games in a way that people sort of...
i mean if i was gonna watch someone play a good game it would be lowtax if at all possible as long as he also let the game speak for itself a bit because good games do that really well now

There's zero mention of SA on the patreon so I'm assuming the infinity money tier is the one where he posts on the forums again

On one hand, the website that has single-handedly provided you with a living wage for almost two decades. One that is one of the few remaining forums of its kind, one whose userbase is overwhelmingly well into adulthood with a ton of disposable income and regularly begs you for attention and avenues of supporting you.

On the other, a YouTube channel that brings in almost no money. A channel about one of the most oversaturated genres of content on the internet, one whose audience is almost overwhelmingly small children with no disposable income and an anemic advertising model that is crumbling to the ground as we speak.

Hmmm....tough choice, but I think the Taxman made the smart choice trying to close the Let's Play barn door ten years after the horses left.
