When did Veeh’s account get nuked? How is the Don going to show his displeasure with the matters at hand now, just through Facebook?

He closed it and switched to not__vee

Lucy has long since left his fat, pompous, troon chasing, weak sperm producing ass.

i dont think so. Carl is just no longer allowed to leave the basement.

I think it's great that Patreon is kicking off these people from their platform, honestly hope they kick off metokur next for some quality banter.

Someday soon his smug chuckle is going to turn into a smug whimper.

I just realized what the next season in the Sargon saga will be and it revolves around hundreds of liberalists lobbying chaturbate to create an “outrage porn“ category

The dumb thing about Skeptics vs Ralph, Jim and co is that they're fighting each other but the real enemy is those Bay Area commie wannabe fuckers.

And what can they do? The people kicking Ralph and Sargon off the platforms own the platforms. It isn’t really likely that a disorganized group of autists with wildly different political beliefs would win against an enemy that controls the rules of the game.
If you become high profile enough for them to dislike you enough, you get Jones’d. Simple as that.
I agree with the sentiment in your post, but I just can’t imagine Sargon and Ralph successfully doing anything against YouTube, for example. They don’t give a shit when people en masse dislike their Rewind video and shit on it, and you really think a pair of Internet personalities would do anything to them?
Jim, given his nihilist views, might as well think of the situation that way, I’m pretty sure his position shines through when he talks about how youtubers cannot affect real life in any meaningful way.

I'm surprised he lasted this long. He was already being lumped in with the alt-right and his habit of just wholesale ripping all his content off from /Pol/ was bound to have negative repercussions at some point.

As another poster said - he was riding an incredible streak of dumb luck for a long time. He was just a medicore guy uploading videos until he fell ass backwards into e-fame when his channel struck oil during gamergate like a fat autistic Jed Clampett.

 

[Blagher]

Oh boy, I can't wait for them to argue that the government should intervene to ensure that their inalienable right to hipster welfare is unmolested.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there.

So Sargon gets kicked off Patreon, and yet Spoony is allowed to keep his up and take money from it?

That hardly seem fair.

 

[instythot]

Holy shit, Vee has only retweeted someone else's video on the patreon nuke and not flipped out so far

Is anyone in his gay Athenian discord documenting the panic and martyrdom?

 

[Krispy Skream]

Fucks sake, Maddox sues Patreon and one of their employees as an individual, and they happily keep lapping up their cut of his meagre account

Honestly they're acting like Maddox, actively pushing away their own business

 

[Belmont]

Not going to watch the whole thing to confirm, but I think this is it. It was only a radio broadcast or something. Sargon seems to come in around the 7min mark.

I kinda feel like this was a pretty fair assessment of Sargon without shitting on him too much. But this is one of those reports akin to listening to someone over 50 on MSNBC report about internet culture, it's digest. You'd have to be pretty deep-in to understand the story of how an idealist turned huxter turned shitbag and now is about to be out on his ass.

He might at least be forced to make streams and videos for his money.

The dumb thing about Skeptics vs Ralph, Jim and co is that they're fighting each other but the real enemy is those Bay Area commie wannabe fuckers.

Not really. You can go after multiple people at once, and it isn't like a coalition of the old gamergaters would be able to do anything about this.

I'm sure this will hurt, but I think Carl will be fine and still make a very good living unless the deplatforming continues. He still has superchat, probably a woe is me gofundme coming up (with more to follow), his IRL stuff that he has (poorly) transitioned into, paypal (rumors of that being down), streamlabs...

If he saved money and isn't a total dumbass this will probably longterm hurt but won't put him on the street or anything. I do think he audience won't be as loyal as Ralph's was, but it is a lot bigger. Carl has also successfully had super opaque (read probably scam) gofundmes before that were quite successful. Should be interesting to see how it shakes out.

 

[NSA]

I hope Sargon lands on his feet and gets his old floor-mopping job back. :-(

 

[instythot]

He's probably going to try to shake down UKIP for 12k/month as social media director or something

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when a party with no UK MPs and 9 of 736 MEPs tells him they're not paying 144k for him to fight with Ralph and Kevin Logan on twitter

As some have said upthread it's entirely possible that his paypal and youtube accounts are soon to follow. On the topic of superchats and streamlabs, I'm not sure how much he usually makes per stream but aren't his audiences usually rather small compared to the amount of subscribers he has?

Also I don't really know how much dough he makes from his irl stuff, and I don't even know if he sells merch, but I can't imagine he makes much from either. I don't think this will bankrupt him per se but it's going to put a massive vise on his wallet.

If he saved money and isn't a total dumbass this will probably longterm hurt but won't put him on the street or anything.

Knowing Carl he's probably not saved up much of a nest egg. Though the possibility exists, for sure.

Well at least he doesn't have to support a kid with his income.
