Of course, the fact that whitera let tlo take the south expo, the fact that it took him so long to switch his tech into a mobile composition and the fact that he kept wasting money after money defending the eastern expansion instead of massing a better army, these had no influence and it was all about the planetary fortress. Of course. | ||

I don't mean to say he doesn't need to eat, but that there are so many other sources of revenue before you get to charging your viewers, even through just asking for donations. Advertising is a tried and true method because it works. I fail to see how a short blurb about Doritos undermines the "hard-core" qualities of the dailies. He isn't NPR doing some hard-hitting story about food additives or obesity where he has to worry about corporate domineering. In fact he's already a corporate man just by how much he promotes the game, which is a product of Blizzard, part of Activision Blizzard, part of Vivendi. Day9 has as much earning potential as almost anybody in this whole burgeoning eSports "scene". If he's rolling twenties two years from now I'll be as happy for him. If he doesn't like the terms sponsors are giving him, then he should get an agent to negotiate for him till he does. None of this is selling out, it's just being practical about who should pay for the content you produce: The viewers or some corporation? It's perfectly fine not to donate money, you know. Day9 even said he never wants the Daily to be anything but free. You don't have to donate if you don't want to. He is not charging you, so stop acting like he is. Honestly, I've gotten more than my money's worth of entertainment watching Day9. So I see absolutely nothing wrong in supporting him. I don't know what Day9 would have to give up for ads, so I don't know how much selling out it would actually be. It might actually be pretty annoying, so I'm not going to comment on that part. | ||

I fail to see the connection here, are you trying to imply that because Day9 promotes a game that was made by a corporation, that he's somehow "corporate" and thus compensated in some way? There's no evidence of any such arrangement. | ||

In the email, write whatever the hell you want. Day9 and his mods search for keywords so good look on using the best keywords  | ||

I heard he planned on living on donations or something but for some reason that information isn't available for the archive viewers, which seems a bit strange as I would want to be part of that as well even though I'm not in his timezone. Maybe that video is still uploading and it's going to be there, but I'm just wondering. I believe it wasn't recorded. I'm pretty sure that's what he said. | ||
