People who complain about this should really take 3 hours of their week * numbers of StoG episode and do something for some community before having the right to bitch about this model. I hope the new season will kick ass and i cant wait to watch it again. | ||

So because you wish not to discuss the merits of my statements, you misconstrue them as an attempt to "peer pressure" you? I'm not pressuring anyone to do anything. I was merely pointing out that laziness is no excuse if your intention really is to contribute in some monetary way. I also previously advocated some sort of payment form for the work these individuals do to put out the show on a weekly basis. That post is also not a form of me directly pressuring people to do something, but is simply a suggestion in response to JP, Tyler, and inControL's previous replies. I don't know why you take such offense to anything I said. If you feel guilty, the guilt is your own. But if you want to discuss something I specifically said, then I'd be more than happy to have the discussion. | ||

I do find door-to-door salesmen pretty annoying though. | ||

I do find door-to-door salesmen pretty annoying though. Sure, but people aren't going to recognize that. To outsiders you're just an annoying 3rd party asking them for money, and offering nothing but relief from social pressure in return. You also risk convincing people not to pay. A better example, I guess would have been telemarketers/political phone calls. Even if a party you support calls you, you probably don't really want to hear it. | ||

Didn't you learn in school not to give into peer pressure? Seriously, this sort of attitude is terrible. How else if JP and the team supposed to take money in for the show unless they ask for it? I once worked with a girl who got made every time they sent out an email about donating cans and money to food shelters. She was insulted that they asked and tried to make her feel bad about not donating. I told her that she should feel bad about hating poor people who can't afford food. If you get bent out of shape about people asking for money for a free service, either A: stop listening, or B: suck it up. | ||

The goal of community members should be to get money into esports. As in, money from outside of esports (fans included) into it (e.g. getting sponsors from independent companies), not make money off fans. If everyone who watches got 1 person to watch the show as well and doubled stream numbers, the things that would tell sponsors, it'd be worth way more than 10 cents per show for 1 million shows and benefit the community far more. There are so many better things they could be doing. Homestory, GSL, so many things have happened, cannot wait for the show. | ||
