Snowflake shoe0nhead / June Lapine / June La Porta & Armoured Skeptic / Gregory "Greg" Fluhrer - A poor man's Boxxy: rejected by Vaush, disowned by /pol/ for burning coal, sleeps in a dog's bed surrounded by trash, and her ex-boyfriend.

[Tasty Tatty]

He's not killing himself, he's Canadian: his government will do it for him.

Jokes aside, I did like his cryptids content. I think the main problem is that Greg didn't like that content and yet had to do it for the money and views. He's the kind of guy who would think that he should only discuss very "smartish" topics and everything else is beneath him. Well, it happens. Sometimes you have to do jobs or work with clients you don't like but you still have bills to pay...

Anyway, I remember he posted a picture of his family and he had two or three brothers and a sister (IICR). If he truly is broke, why not asking them for help a couple of months until he can figure out what to do? Has he truly burned all bridges (as he somehow implied some time ago)? There are people who really have nothing and no one.

 

[disavow]

Good, e-celebs reverting to the mean will never be not funny and he's a creep. You love to see it, especially the crytyping as if his audience fucking off due to him being cringe and YouTube deplatforming him for some vague permutation of the same reasion, putting out cringe content is somehow making him the victim.

 

[Gig Bucking Fun]

It’s funny watching all these smug atheist e-celebs’ lives turn to absolute shit after their immoral, hedonistic lifestyles leave them completely empty. It’s almost like science & nihilism aren’t the answer to everything and there’s a spiritual side of yourself you’ve starved due to your ignorance.

Wings of redemption is able to stream to 300 people and stay live I think this guy will do just fine he's just not gonna have the stuff he was probably use to

wings also lives off of troll donations and pity

i dont think anyone wants to pay to troll skeptic

oh i forgot wings also gets kickbacks from youtube channels that upload his clips and in return he does not copyright them

 

[Heckler1]

I don't feel even a smidgeon bad for him. He tried to trade in his age appropriate gf for some young pussy, not understanding that he was basically killing his career by throwing away part of his channel's appeal (for weird simps). I think of Null's analogy regarding lolcow blackjack, where Greg had a decent hand, but wanted more and more, so now he's gone bust.

 

[Coccxys]

Been looking into his Patrion to look how much income he is making. Which since he is not making that much ad views anymore, most of his income come from donation. So here the time line:
2015: Armoured Skeptic peak around $1,277/month
2019: Armoured Skeptic only made $625/month
2020: Armoured Skeptic private his earning and has only 211 subs which mean he maybe making around $500/month.
2022: Armoured Skeptic is down only 112 subs. He maybe estimate to be making between around $400/month. That is not counting when taxes come in and YouTube revenue which is nothing.
Should have married June, and you would not be homeless.

The era of anyone making real livable money from Patreon is going to come to a screeching halt soon and we'll be seeing many such cases over the next couple of years.

A spiralling cost of living crisis, inflation through the roof and mass layoffs are all going to put a lot of people off throwing money at "creators" for little benefit. All while inflation eats into the value of what patron brings in for the "creator".

 

[frenchmortar]

Call me autistic or whatever, but Greg's recent "History is a Lie" series was pretty cool if you're into conspiracy stuff, for lack of a better phrase. It's really a shame. There's so many sycophants in his comments and at some point he started talking like a cult leader and calling himself God, but not in a "we're all part of God" way. If that wasn't some kind of psychotic break or a legitimate bid at starting a cult, then he just needs to calm the fuck down and get back to work. He hasn't put out a video in 3 months and the most recent one, though I didn't watch it, has comparable views to the rest of his channel. It can be salvaged if he stops being a retarded faggot.

Whatever happened to that blonde woman he kept gushing about after he left June?

He sounds more like Spoony here.

Man, what is with these youtube personalities and their stubborn refusal to sock away any of their income when they're making it big? Where's all that Candid money?

 

[Shamefur Dispray]

This was front paged? Wake me up when this Canadian faggot:
A: Stops being a bitch and necks himself.
Or B: Doubles down and kills June then kills himself.

I'll accept no substitutions.

 

[Q_Anon1001]

Isn't this the guy that had a leash around shoe and treated her like a pet? Rock bottom comes at you pretty fast.

 

[JambledUpWords]

He's being a typical lazy faggot thinking that the only way to get traffic is to bend over and beg Youtube to pozload you with their big, black (box) algorithm. If he were serious about making a living at this he'd identify forums, subreddits, twitter hashtags, etc, that he could strategically spam to get noticed.... but that would be work, and he'd rather just take it up the ass from Youtube so he can spend the rest of his time painting models and playing videogames (or whatever other retarded peter pan shit he does). Peak OnlyFans thinking, in other words. He deserves everything he gets.

Majority of YouTubers can’t have YouTube as a full time job, and at most, it should just be side hustle to get in a tad bit extra spending money. He was delusional for thinking it could bring in all the income necessary. I guess he was too high on his own supply from his 2015-2018 success and thought continuing that route would be okay. YouTube is a fickle thing anyway. Being somewhat successful in the mid 2010s doesn’t mean it will stay that way by the 2020s. I haven’t paid attention to him in a while, I even thought he improved himself a bit, but I guess not. YouTube isn’t as big a platform as it used to be either, not with the competition it gets from TikTok.

 

[Yankee Shogun]

Every day I thank God for letting me grow out of my edgy Atheist internet phase.

Though jokes aside, maybe I'm wrong but his position really doesn't seem that bad, he still consistently gets tens of thousands of views and I'm sure some cashcows are 100% willing to donate to a patreon so he can keep making whatever weird videos he's making today. To me it just seems he has a slow upload schedule, he's uploaded 5 times in the last year, 2/5 of which reached more then 100k views.

His videos seem to have veered more to conspiracy theories and looking at the success of channels like Wendigoon he could 100% grow his channel through it if he just uploaded more consistently. He mostly just seems to be annoyed he's not getting the views he got during peak Anti-SJW years.

Side note, I'm hoping that Satan video is about Gnosticism and not him actually thinking Satan is a good figure.

 

[Slap47]

So, he "lost" his YT channel because "According to my analytics, YouTube has officially stopped recommending my videos to outside audiences - this is basically the death note for my channel."
WHAT!?!! How does that stop him from making videos? Am I missing something? He is being ridiculous!

I love how YouTubers blame the algorithm. Not like he is funny looking character #443774467 talking about latest celebrity nonsense.

 

[The Internet Dick]

The best thing either of these people could do is, get a real job (I know it'll never happen by choice) where they get to interact with people and have to leave the house 5 days a week. I can't imagine what it's like when your only interaction with people is thru a computer screen.

Getting a real job in the real world will never occur to them. Look at Skeptic's whiny 'I'm hungry and alone and I'm losing the Internet soon' diatribe. He sounds as if his position's about to be overrun by a horde of bloodthirsty cannibals. Nowhere in there did the thought, 'Hey, maybe I could get a job, any job, and then I would have money to eat and pay rent and keep the lights on...' ever come to mind.

Soon the man once known as Armoured Skeptic will be sitting alone in the cold, cold dark, muttering to himself, wondering how and where it all went wrong. One day not long after, they'll find his mummified remains and marvel at the sheer stupidity of it. One of the cops, a grizzled veteran, will look at the corpse and shake his head and say, "What an incredible dumbass."

I guess I'm a bad person for finding this guy's misery fucking hilarious, but I can't help it. It is fucking hilarious.

WHAT!?!! How does that stop him from making videos? Am I missing something? He is being ridiculous!

Does he even network outside of the atheist/skeptic clique? Sometimes the algorithm god smiles upon you, but God helps those who help themselves. The reason why he isn't getting exposed to new audiences is because he isn't exposing himself to them. From a quick skim of the channel he is doing conspiracy stuff now, might be a good fit for PKA. Also it would be interesting to watch him get interviewed on the rise and fall of youtube atheism.

 

[Reef-Raze]

Wendigoon took his audience away, eh?

 

[Gunter Hatherer]

According to all the surveys (viewed with alarm by the religious types) non-belief is bigger than ever. But YouTube atheism is not really a thing any more. And switching to debunking Bigfoot sightings and the like doesn't goose things up.

Yet somehow Pewdiepie is a millionaire just by being goofy and obnoxious.

Life is not fair.

 

[Watcher]

This guy really needs a new hobby he's clearly lost interest in making videos but it's the only way he makes money so he feels forced to do it. It's really a "it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything" situation he's in. He needs to summon up some courage and take the plunge away from being a video creator for a while.

 

[2al]

Got here before this was even featured, and I immediately knew this guy was being especially dumb when I couldn't see any mentions on this thread about him being demonetized.

 

[Mister Mint]

Everybody who has tasted a modicum of success with Youtube has the wrong attitude. You got to, for awhile, do practically nothing for a job. Consider that a win. If you're still making $400 a month you can't live on that, but it's sitll probably more than 99% of people on youtube have. Time to wake up from the dream, go get a real job, and enjoy your $400/mo pocket money while it lasts.
