Getting triggered by all the e-begging, patreon & gofundme nowadays

Fuck I almost thought this was a troll post by another random member

Maybe it is... seems trollish

i watch a lot of sailing channels on youtube....dreams of buying a boat and sailing away...


there's a few of them who make MAJOR money just filming their daily lives and making money

one couple ended up buying a million dollar catamaran (but they've sold out and i don't watch them anymore)

there's another (originally from seattle) who make awesome videos and are still down to earth...they've been gone for 7 years now just sailing around enjoying life

both have patreon accounts and ask for donations to "pay for the videos" and they sure aren't the only ones. every tom, dick and harry with a gopro and drone now make these videos and ask for money to support their early retirement lifestyles.

Now you'll be remembered as a prick.

I'm not going to fail you but it kind of sounds like your pissed that people are making money streaming and you're not. You believe in your heart of hearts what you do online is more work and of greater value but subscribers are voting with their wallets for other streamers who don't have the talent or put in the work you do because of the way they look.

Just keep on going to school, work hard and do what you can do to get ahead. The biggest thing you can do to advance yourself is network, they don't say it's not what you know but who you know for nothing.

Oh and quit streaming unless you do it for fun as a hobby, you're not going to make a living doing that.

Cheers

Wow you've had the come-to-jesus moment that every other male has at like age 11. Sex sells, and boobs are good.

Only it took you till adulthood.

Congrats you're a walking argument for birth control.

Obviously, there are people who text all the time, but you know, there are some people who use their phone for things other than social media. When I went to van yesterday, I was using my phone a lot to gather info about a catted mid-pipe setup and was communicating with the seller. Some people have to watch stock market on their phone closely, so I wouldn't generalize everyone.

Nothing excuses using a phone while driving, though. That's just bad.

You hit the nail in the head.

To add, I don't see Patreon and other online donation as a bad thing. Granted, I never used them, but some people sell their art there, and they legitimately draw well. I don't see anything wrong with that.

And I don't think professional streamers have a very good lifestyle from what I have seen. They have to eat fast food a lot, and have pretty messed up schedule.

If you want to try and be successful, you can try, but if it's not working out and you see it as more work than fun, quit it. Everyone's streaming nowadays, and sorry, but you are not a special snowflake.

Bobs or gtfo

For guys to be decently successful streamers, you actually have to be good at games. Are you near pro level? If not, find a different venture. Either that or become a fucking meme.

Here is advice on whoring yourself out to potentially more viewers. Become active in some twitch communities, join their discords, make a name for yourself. Some allow for selling out your own twitch channel. If you are well received, some people will come watch you.

Almost any idiot these days can get twitch affiliate within a week or two.

This city is full of hostile and bitter people and it's gotten worst as the divide between the middle class and rich is getting wider. For example, I've seen people in DT get physically angry at people with nice cars. It's happen to me where people yell stuff or flip you the middle finger for no apparent reason. And these aren't drug addicts, they're normal people of all ages.

I feel the issue in Vancouver, where things have changed in the past 10 years due to skyrocketing RE, boils down to some people who have been left behind but think they're entitled to live in Vancouver, make a certain amount of money and own certain type of things just because. Instead you should man the fuck up and do something with your life if you're not happy with your money situation. Not everyone who's "made it" or has money got it from mommy and daddy, a lot people have had to make major sacrifices and work very, very hard to get where they are and it surely didn't involve sitting online and bitching about other people.

This isn't a new phenomenon. My grandfather's numerous Jaguar XJ-S' were vandalized many times in the 80's and 90's. He would park on Commercial drive (back when it was an Italian enclave) and there were times he would come out to find his Jaguar emblem missing, a broken window, or find his hood keyed.

Vancouver has always held animosity against the haves because the city has always been filled with have-nots. Like you said, it has become worse and probably won't be getting any better anytime soon.

I was hoping to find one that shows the more technical aspects of sailing and navigation but SV Delos is interesting in its own way and definitely the most down-to-earth of all the vlogging vessels I've found so far.

Definitely better 10 years ago, the city was less douchey. I've had to stop hanging out with people because all they would talk about was what new thing they just bought or what someone else has...

Nowadays, seems like everyone has someone else in their way...

Same thing with my dads 68 Firebird back in the early 80's. Eventually he gave up and sold it because he was sick of it getting damaged all the time.

I'm sorry, but this fucking generation is absurd. iPhone this, instagram that, twitter my tweet, my fucking hell. I like technology and I love e-sports but people are turning into mindless zombies all thanks to smart phones. Some knucklehead walked into me because he was too busy looking at his phone. I could have told him to wake the fuck up, but what's the point lecturing these stupid text-walkers. ANY FUCKER I SEE TEXTING WHILE DRIVING AUTOMATICALLY GETS THEIR LICENSE PLATE # SENT TO THE POLICE courtesy of NotRevSeen. I hate seeing these dipshits playing with others peoples lives so cut it out! But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will report you: man, women, senior citizen, I don't discriminate.

Shit. If that's not bad enough, it seems like nobody wants to earn things through hard work these days. Everyone wants everything handed to them on a silver platter and I'm more so talking about the newer generation. Hey, don't worry about the social stigma of being on welfare when you can just sign-up to Patreon or Gofundme and leech off donations given by gullible goofballs. Then again, exploiters gonna exploit just like loopholers gonna loophole *cough* foreign buyers/investors *cough*

I work part-time at Metrotown mall while taking classes at night in the hopes I can get a good job through the trades program. On the other hand, we have Tumblr types you know the people of that ilk studying for worthless liberal arts degrees. Look, I'm a liberal, I voted for Trudeau and I think Trump is the second coming of Satan. It's just that I'm really starting to worry about our society. Antifa vs Neo Nazis. Illegal Aliens, Muslims, Terrorist bombings, ISIS, Russia, North Korea, Nukes and on and on. Hell in a handbasket if you ask me. I don't even see people giving up their seats on the skytrain for senior citizens or holding doors open at malls. It's all about me, me, me hastag: onlymylifematters.

Yes, I come off sounding rather butt hurt because I didn't end up becoming a Twitch partner. Of course, all the scantily clad women streamers get tons of viewers hence random donations, subs, ad revenue. I work my ass off streaming on the weekends for hours on end and can't break 15 total viewers. Failfish 4 life
I read on Reddit some Twitchers make $500,000 USD per year. Could you imagine? While I'm slaving away making a pittance. Oh, at least I can feel happy about the soon-to-be $13 minimum wage hike.

More people are learning that it's ok to have no morals or decency. Since I broke up with my girlfriend I've become grumpier and jaded. Probably going to be forced to move out to Abbottsford or Chilliwack because the rent in Kits is too damn high.

Revseen, please don't use gofundme or patreon unless it's for a noble cause. The only people who should be receiving donations are those with life threatening conditions or disasters like the recent BC Forest Fires. We have alt-right and neo-nazi groups using these platforms to spread hatred and to fund their terrorist organizations. Women who think their shit don't stink are looking for handouts because they believe working for an honest dollar is beneath them. We need to buck the system and it would have been a new era with Bernie Sanders instead they got that racist Drumpf elected. Shakemyhead.

Bart Simpson said it best "Ay Caramba"

Well at least you're learning a trade. Something that's actually useful in the long run. Never have I understood why anyone would shell out thousands a year on courses that turn you into a whiny little tampon when you can learn skills and qualities that make you actually contribute to society's growth. I absolutely despise the stereotypical millennial. Live in basement, live off credit and parents bail you out. The idea that trades people get laughed at for being brainless goons is another mislabel that cracks me up. Oh you want to be an administrative assistant for your brofriend's craft coffee shop? Yeah get used to living in that basement till death do you part.

I feel like the youth today are stuck in a fantasy world created by social media and the like. A bubble with the density of concrete and no amount of reality can break them from their delusion. Thankfully there are still plenty of hardworking people who will carry the next generations forward. Let social & cultural Darwinism do its thing.
