YouTube, networks and other unfun things

Jason Olshefsky

Ack! It's like a boner in church to have all the comments turned off. I know they're old and you don't want to deal with it, but oh, please ...

Been a fan for a couple of years now. I have to say, you and Doug create excellent content and whenever i'm feeling down, i just rewatch your old videos. Thanks for all the hard work, i'm happy I found your Patreon page so that i can start to give back, somehow. :)

I only came here for the sloths. I wish we had sloths in NZ, but oh no, all we get is kiwis, wetas and paua and the later two are not exactly adorable...

wait, who else??

You aren't the only prominent figure to announce leaving Maker this week...It kind of gives the impression they're doing something wrong.

pff I WISH 😝

When I saw that for a while you were the only one posting to LOEC I began to wonder if you had assumed control of that channel or something. I'm glad to be subscribed to the real deal now finally.

Already subscribed, but great to see its becoming active again! I intend on spreading the word to my filmy friends. Its nice to have a place to go back and watch my old Nostalgia Chick favourites, I must say. Good luck in the rest of your battle with Maker - I had no idea uploading content with them was such a struggle! I hope things will be easier from here on out :)

I was just thinking the other day that I wasn't sure I could even find your old videos, and now here they are. So when you use vimeo to post videos on Patreon there aren't these kinds of problems because they're a subscription service, are there? Internet content creation only gets more and more confusing every day.

Sounds like a really shitty experience! Glad to see you're hanging in there though :)

I think I already subscribed....I had no idea there was so much legal stuff over video channels...the old days of the wild west really are dead

Subscribed and I'm so glad to see most of your old videos in the same place, uploaded by you! I've been a fan of yours since around the time you first posted your Last Unicorn review and I always look forward to new content :)

Bad news on the hardship, good news on the progress. I flinched a bit at the mention of lawyers. Things shouldn't have to get that far.

Could you (or rather: us as a crowd) perhaps compile a list of abridged videos? So far I was only vaguely aware of that aspect. It could be fun and profit ;)

Happily subscribed. I'm happy to see that your work has a central hub, and I join you in solidarity of saying 'fuck you' to Chrome and other things owned by Google.

Glad to see you're moving off the LOSC/Maker pad and into your own space.

Glad to see you're moving off the LOSC/Maker pad and into your own space. On the California tax issue...are they still issuing IOUs?

I'm so happy you feel like you're getting freedom, and I'm even more delighted to hear you'll upload your back log! Ive missed so many of the full videos, and since blip went down I didnt have much choice but the abridged ones (why on earth do they do that anyways)

Subscribed and pledging. Best of luck , buddy

About time I became a patron!

Princess Weekes

Jesus. Well no worries will be subscribing and passing out links <3 as long as you need support you'll have it!

Lindsay Ellis

Thank you, Emmeline, and thank you for sticking around all this time! ^_^

I'm so sorry for all the hassle. You're awesome as hell and I'll get my friends to subscribe.

Lindsay Ellis

Thank you, John!

Lindsay Ellis

Nah, I'll get it back... eventually. I just have to file an amended return, file it, and wait for Cali to refund the wages they've already garnished which is... hmm.... what's the word. Ah, bullshit. The word is bullshit. Yes. Worse still the guy at the California tax office said they probably wouldn't even look at the amended return for about six months. A tax code written by fuckboys, and me not even a permanent resident! I mean I know California is fucking broke, but Jesus...

I'm glad that you're using your own channel. I had subscribed awhile back and was saddened to see very little update on it. It'll be better and I'll be happy when you finally fully delegate from Maker. If you need help with the back taxes, maybe you can run a GoFundMe campaign. Or, maybe run a Kickstarter campaign to run a full on season of a series on YouTube. I've seen plenty of YouTube personalities to do it. (Look at The Dice Tower!) In the end, Lindsay, what I'm saying is that you have fans who love you and your work. If you reach out to them, just as you did with Patreon, you may be able to get help and make this easier. If you use another crowdfunding source to help you make your life easier and possibly help the creation of future content, I'd be one of the first to pledge.

Here's hoping things run smoothly from here on out!

Mister CPU

Hi, I am a newish fan and love your thoughtful and funny reviews. Best of luck with making your own thing work. I will make it a point to spread the word of the Chez Apocalypse goodness!

I was wondering why my YouTube subscription tab suddenly had a massive Nostalgia Chick video influx. Glad to see you'll be working towards having greater control over your content on YouTube at least.
