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.

OK the YouTube thing didn't work out, literally nobody could have seen that coming aside from all the people who spent years telling me that this would happen. Good thing I have my backup plan, breaking into audio engineering at 50 with no formal training or work history and a portfolio that features a video of me taunting a pedophile by covering my daughter in diapers whilst playing video games.

You sound bothered.

It's time for some McMath!

First, there's four people in the family: Lowtax, his wife, and two kids. We'll be generous and assume that Lowtax brings his oldest daughter with him to McDonald's when he goes. We'll say his wife and the baby come along sometimes but she splits the costs with him when the do, just to make poo poo simpler - plus the baby wouldn't get anything there anyway.

Now let's assume $5 for an adult meal, and $4 for a Happy Meal. I don't go to McDonald's much. We'll say they aren't sizing up, but we can just call it $10 a trip, bare minimum. More if Lowtax grabs Mickey D's for everyone and brings it home or something.

So that's basically a couple times a week.

Three kids, actually. And I'm sure lowtax feeds his one-year-old MacRibs, too. Your maths is off.

Lowtax you fuckman sell shirts with a grenade logo on them, sell tshirts with :10bux: on them for $10, sell tshirts with multiple :10bux: on them with prices to match.

You know those lovely awareness ribbons for cancer and AIDS and poo poo?



Put a less lovely version of that grenade-ified ribbon on things with something about a dead gay comedy forum awareness campaign or sell a pin/badge with it on there.

Sell tshirts that say "I Survived Shmorky", and make them available only in children's sizes.

Lol. Those are okay ideas.
Seriously, I've seen much less popular video games youtube people sell merch. It doesn't even cost that much to have your design in some online shop, so that they can print it on demand.

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?

Reading Lowtax's twitter, I think he begins to understand that his initial approach wasn't exactly well-thought through. He's already cut the price of the tier in half, and promises to adjust as the time goes on.

He's going to be fine, imo.

Lowtax should lower the price of poo poo like changing their own or other peoples avatars or adding red text. People will stop and think about spending 10 bux or whatever but make it 1 dollar and people will go nuts.

Just look at mobile games. Monitze everything here at cheap prices. New emotes thst only last a month so megathreads and crews can gently caress around. Word filters, forum banners and backgrounds. MICROTRANSACTIONS, MAN

Once a year, let's say on April 1, this would actually make sense. Otherwise, everything would go to poo poo with such low prices.

Check out those new tiers.

Discord the Explorer
$2.49 or more per month ∙ 4 patrons
You will be cordially invited to our TOP SECRET Discord server, where you can type in words and they appear on screen, or you can say words into a mic and they also appear on screen.

Gaming Garbage Great Guy or Gal
$6.92 or more per month ∙ 11 patrons
Watch the latest videos before all the common gutter trash folks who didn't contribute a single dime! Spoiler critical scenes for them when they are finally able to see the videos, several years later! Also you get the previous crud.

That is actually somewhat reasonable. If you're willing to give someone money to play games, I mean.

I eat at Burger King once a month, so I follow their CEOs online, and whenever they share something personal on twitter, I make sure to provide my take on their personal life, going even as far as questioning their parental choices, and calling them bad, trash parents, Jesus Christ, I hope CPS take their children, what utter disgrace, they just don't think things through, I think I'll create my own diners chain where people can eat their vegan meals in peace.

His daughter wanted to show that she could laugh about this, as opposed to having been affected in some negative way by the experience. You know, it's empowering.

DSP was the one to reignite the feud, actually. Slowbeef hasn't been following him for years then out of nowhere DSP tweeted something about retsupurae or something like that. And then he masturbated on stream. Slowbeef has an actual job and kids, so playing games or doing YouTube videos is not exactly on top of his priorities.
