Also, I've seen a lot of hate for Melton and his fans in this thread. While I've done a bit of alogging Patrick myself(I have a VERY small show I try to have fun with), Patrick isn't a bad dude from everything I've seen.... And his audience isn't QUITE as stupid as you guys are making out(but you guys did nail the part about 45 year old women, it's the same women that took their tops off for whip em out Wednesdays 20 years ago.)
Sure, you've got a couple of REALLY loud idiots(like most audiences), and this Shuli situation hasn't been a good look for anyone involved, or even talking about it for that matter.
But Melton is a brighter spot in the Dabbleverse, at least IMO. When he's actually applying himself, he can put out some really solid long form content, on a level that very few hosts can.
His Steel Toe Shinebox series is a GREAT introduction to steel toe if you're interested in watching the longer formatted shows. Melton is nice to have when you're first learning about what Aaron does, but once you can see it yourself, it's more fun to watch without Melton's coverage(at least imo)
I don't think a lot of you guys understand this, but Steel Toe was a VERY successful show before NLO locked onto him. NLO had maybe 50 live viewers at any given point when he found Steel Toe.... Steel Toe was making 3-500 in donos a show at that point...
This was about a year and a half ago. What a long ways we've come since then... Or in Aaron's case, what a long ways he's sank.......
