Bacon Pancakes! Making Bacon Pancakes, take some Bacon and I'll put it in a Pancake! Bacon Pancakes that's what it's gonna make...Bacon Pancaaaaaake!! ♪ Level: 3 | OK, I can understand people building an online community, or making media and asking for donations for support. Some people find this gives them what they needs financially and ditch the 9-5 and make this full-time. It's quite common actually. However these people pump out content like crazy. Everyday there's a new blog post, podcast, video...whatever. I have no issue with this business model. However how does VTV expect this to work for him. He does about one show a week at most (lately he's been having a lot on non TVP/TZM shows but still only a handful) He has no job, gets free babysitting for 8 hours a day M-F, and loads of free time. My question is this, why are people voluntarily paying him for this poor service when they can reap all the same rewards by not paying? | |||||

He spends his days building shitty architecture and doing lecture circuits. VTV sits on his ass. Also I don't want to hear "I'm making a movie, that's why no new content" shit because he wasn't doing much before that either. | |||||

I can't stop posting pictures of poop, what the fuck is wrong with me? Level: 5 CS Original |
Not true I donated to VTV because of his kids, I pitied him, and because I've been in that situation when I was younger. From VTV's blog post he was begging and crying hardcore and I simply couldn't ignore the plea for help because that's not who I am. Am I a sucker for donating (donated for his computer as well), yes I am. I thought this would be a temporary thing until VTV could get himself back on his feet; I totally understand that but now it's become a thing he expects and will resort to being a beggar to get money he thinks he deserves from gullible good intentioned hard working people. Now I understand when people raise money for political campaigns that's perfectly ok to ask for donation for their cause but VTV isn't in any way comparable to campaign fund raisers and in my opinion looks like a beggar bum who refuses to get a job. Campaigns don't beg for money for years, and they certainly don't beg for money to pay their own bills. The worst thing is VTV is not ashamed about this either. Stop leeching off other people so you can continue not to work. | |||||

Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | His kids will most likely end up as white trash just like their parents. Save your sympathy for kids born to parents that actually make an effort in life yet still fall short. VTV's kids are a lost cause. | |||||

I can't stop posting pictures of poop, what the fuck is wrong with me? Level: 5 CS Original | I think the best way to help VTV is to not donate to him. It will force him to get a job that way and stop him from being a beggar and mooching off others who work hard for their money at a job. | |||||

I can't stop posting pictures of poop, what the fuck is wrong with me? Level: 5 CS Original | ^ I'd like to think I wasn't bamboozled out of my money by donating to VTV but I realize I'm living in a fantasy world where I think people will do the right thing and get a job to support their family. It seems VTV doesn't even attempt to find a job and at that has made me reluctant to donate to other people/causes which may actually be legitimate. | |||||

Level: 5 CS Original | ^ That's another thing VTV continues to call me a troll but how many trolls actually donate money so he can continue to do nothing. He is a very ungrateful person. When I was on VTV's forum I pointed out the fact I donated to him and he didn't even thank me one time at all. Not once... I try to help VTV and he comes back and spits in my face multiple times.

Hybrid Level: 2 | "Not true I donated to VTV because of his kids, I pitied him, and because I've been in that situation when I was younger. From VTV's blog post he was begging and crying hardcore and I simply couldn't ignore the plea for help because that's not who I am." Do you really believe that he used your money to better the lives of his children? I doubt very much that he did. You've been there, I've been there, a hell of a lot of people have been there. Most of us just find a way to fight our way through without publicly pissing and moaning and begging for money from strangers. I feel sorry for those kids, I don't believe that they're a lost cause just because they're being raised by trash. But sending money to VTV benefits VTV not his kids. You want to help someone? That's great. And sometimes you can find someone very close to home that really needs it and will appreciate it. Around here we have a few small groups that can point you to a family in need. Sometimes it isn't even a family or about money. There's a few people in the local nursing home here that have no one visit them. Give your sympathy to someone that deserves it. | |||||
