Haaah, well might as well get this out of the way...
Waaaay back when in the Year of our Lord 2014, as some of you Farm vets may recall, DStecks was working on his Sonichu Reviews. He had done most of the book prior and had garnered a bit of a cult following. Myself, thinking this would give me some extra practice- plus back then I honestly had dreams and aspirations of making TRS a big thing, I contacted DStecks about doing the thumbnails for his videos. He was ecstatic about it.
And then (break out the spooky jangle chains) GaaaaaaAAAAAAMErrrgate happened. By this point, DStecks had already put months of work into his final leg of his Sonichu reviews, the "Sonichu After Dark" series, so he was pretty adamant on getting it done, although the tolls of internet dickslappery had gotten to him and you could tell by the end of his videos he didn't care about Sonichu anymore, or rather, he had a change of heart and decided, again because of Gamerga- wait sorry- GaaaaAAAAAmERrrrrrGaaaaaaate, that he could no longer support internet bullying and he couldn't do this anymore, etc. etc.
And thus, DStecks decided to give Chris $1,000+ for two reasons. First, as Dstecks stated, he then "ethtically" couldn't review any further Sonichu comics since he financed them (again GaaaAAA-okay, joke is done). Second, he felt that this move might absolve him of his past dispersions about Chris' creations.
Now, back to me, DStecks and I had a completely business relationship. I don't have any super secret knowledge about him, nor am I going to start mining him for details. All I do now is this: back when I started he told me he was going to pay me for my work. And to this day, I have not received one red cent from the guy. As it is, it's been 2-3 years now and I've moved on, but just goes to show: never do any work for anyone unless you have a written agreement for payment.
why it is that goons like Danny Boy have for agreeing with that and (un?)intentionally proving /pol/ right.
