Community was really supportive of Total biscuit when he got sick, he's a good guy and all, but Protech has literally provided 100+ times more content than TB.
As a lot of you know, for about 6 months now, Protech has been struggling with a debilitating wisdom teeth condition. Whatever controversy has surrounded it, one thing is for certain, he has a serious condition that needs to be addressed. For the procedure he needs $1700.
The fact that he has been bearing this pain specifically to CONSTANTLY GIVE VIEWERS CONTENT shows just how committed he is to the community.
Now, to head off any people say that protech gets money blah blah blah, well guess what? In the real world people have BILLS to pay. Not everyone can just go out and pay $1700 out of pocket!
He has been averaging about $2000-3000 a month in just donations which is classified as LOW INCOME.
Anyone who has watched streams for awhile KNOWS that the ad revenue is GARBAGE! As he has said it is laughable at around $300 a month!
Protech has averaged around 165 subscribers and has now gotten up to 200. Before you say wow, that's another $1000 a month, you need to THINK and realize that Twitch takes HALF of that money! He only sees an extra $500 a month from that $1000!
He has said very specifically that he spends all his money on putting a roof over his head and money in his belly. Anything left over he uses to pay his bills. He doesn't waste it on drugs or any crap like that.
If we are going to pull together as a community and get this guy enough money to get past his monthly bills, I feel like we could do that if he were up to around $5,000 a month. If he is breaking even now, then he should be able to get his MUCH NEEDED operation at that level.
A lot of people talk a lot about the community and helping out, but I bet a lot of people watch his stream and don't donate or subscribe and probably even use adblock. I agree with Protech, he has been doing this for FOUR YEARS and makes a pittance compared to what other streamers make. He's said he really deserves that kind of success and income but he has continued streaming despite not getting what he is worth.
$5 or $10 is probably the price of a movie or a beer, so time to man up people!
edit: Oh and to make matters worse, he just lost his No Scope sponsorship after less than one day. They cited "racist and discriminatory" behavior on his chat. Total BS, anyone who has seen his stream knows that he has never said or done anything like that! Just like he said, go look through ALL his vods, you won't find anything like that at all! Just more garbage perpetuated by people.

why because a guy needs help? a community coming together and manning is POSITIVE

Averaging 2-3K in donations alone for what he does is good enough. I understand he has this condition but from the figures you gave 1700 to get it fixed is not an insane amount. This seems a lot like advertising, and maybe more appropriate for reddit. And not donating to him isn't not manning up, especially when he is a niche streamer who has said time and again he doesn't give a damn about TL.net.

How is 4,000$/month not enough for one person? Does he have an entire family he is trying to support? Can he get a job if he really needs money? Also your account has one post, and based on your attitude and the information you know I would not be surprised if you were Protech.

Have you ever heard of BILLS?

Bills for one person should only be like ~1-2K a month, unless he is living way above his means.

Well I don't know what his bills are that's irrelevant. However I'm not so naive to realize that people need to pay bills.

Twitch gets half of the subscribe fee?
What about donations? What is the % that Twitch takes?

Exactly this.

Not sure if serious or trolling 2-3k in donations and the rest. 4k income... . And in 6 months time no way to save up 1700 dollars? perhaps delay some bills and stuff fixed. Maybe its "time to man up" and set priorities.
5posts, who's clone account are you really?

These numbers don't add up at all wtf. Is he locked into some insanely expensive lease? Child support? Student loans? He would have had to have started off really bad to be unable to save $1700 in 6 months while making ~3.5k per month.

He's streaming right now. Time to man up boys.

Lol so you make a thread to convince people to donate to Protech and the proceed to belittle people? Effective.

this is just sad to see, begging at it's worst...

Honestly this thread is terrible and an awful way to get people to give a shit.
You come in and just spew matter of fact statement without any supporting evidence while telling people to man up and give money to someone they barely recognize.
We don't even have a picture of the dude, we don't know what he really does. The situation overall makes him look very unsympathetic. Where is he? Why can't he speak for himself?
If you're going to pull at people's heartstrings, you can't make your post so aggressive and come across as an A-hole.
Also:
He's said he really deserves that kind of success and income but he has continued streaming despite not getting what he is worth.
Wut?
lol
