All of the replies are telling him that but

look, if you don't wanna pay $12 a month to watch Lowtax and Jonathan riff for 15+ minutes over the billionth "made by Unity" survival horror game, then that's your problem, not his

there are multiple users who post in the LP forum with their own patreons. i'm not sure why lowtax didn't consult any of them before deciding to put every video he makes from here on out behind a $12/month paywall

i bet none of the money he gets from suckers who pay $12/month will go to forum improvements

Because he pissed off the majority of the LP forum by banning popular LPers who happened to disagree with him.

i'd say i miss psychedelic eyeball but i watch his streams on twitch

i'll give lowtax credit, it's impossible to make lots of money from youtube even if you have millions of subscribers. the site's hosed with their payment algorithm so much over the past couple years and now it massively favors corporations, brands, and tv shows

regardless, a one-time $10 payment to browse these dying forums provides more entertainment than a $12 monthly payment to watch crappy games with riffing

their new forum is a cool place, the rules even literally unironically mention trigger warnings

let me guess, voidburger is the main admin

oh it turns out if you donate you get to see the videos early

but you can see them for free eventually

good. he should throw in premium videos for people who subscribe, so that there's at least some incentive to give money per month

Honestly Lowtax changing his focus from the forums to twitter sucked, but whatever he likes I guess

the good thing about something awful is that there's a much lower chance of anonymous assholes ruining your life for no reason than on twitter

i'm pretty sure none of the banned ex-LP forum people even make LPs anymore, they just stream on twitch. that's all psych and tietuesday do, at least

i got banned from the LP discord for making fun of the anime porn channel

not joking

is that why you haven't made more mario party reskin vids?

that was probably a rule under slowbeef, but the game has changed since then. also slowbeef wasn't a great mod

they put all those rules in place and acted above it all until recently now that LPing has been a 'legit' job for like 5 years now.

slowbeef's bitterness towards pewdiepie for finding out how to make money off of LPs first was hilarious. also, did he actually become full tumblrite or was he just an "I'm With Her, gently caress Trump" guy? that last bit was why kiwifarms hated him

Kiwifarms are inanimate turds who think anyone who has loved or cared for another human being is a sjw.

i read that thread they had about SA LP superstars and the only one who sounded bad was voidburger. slowbeef's blurb was "he supports hillary and hates trump," and psych's was "he talked poo poo about trump post-election day and also he associates with a tranny"

slowbeef spent years doing retsupurae making GBS threads on people who would break every cardinal rule in video lping

And now going by his recent solo videos it turned out that he was secretly worse than all of those he mocked

slowbeef discouraged blind LPs while he was mod of the LP forum, but that didn't stop him from making a metroid prime trilogy LP where he had no idea what the gently caress he was doing most of the time

admittedly, lowtax last posted here over a month ago, and the stickied forum announcement of "xenforo is coming" is coming up to two months old next week, but i still think it's worth supporting the guy to speed these forums enhancements along, and that is why i am glad that the patreon has gone up since i last checked, on friday

he's not going to improve the forums with his patreon money. he can't even bother half-assing paper spaceships to color in

So I thought you guys said lowtax would only upload GAMING GARBAGE to Paterson but there's been a bunch of videos uploaded to you tube lately
What happened

he wisely decided to reverse course, now people who pay get to see it first and then it gets uploaded to youtube a few days later

No, last time I checked it's still in the same hosting facility instead of AWS or Azure

this is why i don't believe that they're going to move the forums to xenforo 2.0
