So Gatis said he'd keep updating the donations total live but had to go to bed... 14 hours ago... and hasn't woken up... right...
Any guesses on how much this dude has earned? I'm sure he's well over the threshold at this point but he's "sleeping" for as long as possible to milk this as much as possible.
Checked his bitcoin wallet, there's roughly $22 there currently.

I also saw somebody who claimed to donate $3k. I didn't save the comment unfortunately but it was somebody who had their full name and photo of themselves (if they aren't a catfish). The comment is mysteriously gone, or I can't find it and I've tried twice. Maybe Gatis deleted it to encourage more donations? Or the commenter removed it themselves?
This user on the discord saw it too.
And FYI Blaise mentioned that she gives him money
and "he has more money than i do. way more." He does not need this money at all but he'll continue to ebeg and mooch off of his subs. I wonder if his old rich German ex has been wiring him some money to help out, too.
EDIT: Tried to dig through my cache to see if I had the comment or the page saved, anything to no avail. But luckily it turns out I clicked on the profile of the person who donated it. The person is legit, and has known Gatis for 11+ years.
Removed the screenshots as the donation is probably a joke.
If it's legit, he'll probably be in the 5K range and Sv3rige may shout out the large donation. We'll just have to wait for Sv3rige to wake up from his 15 hour long slumber.
EDIT 2:
$4K total, most likely significantly more. A $3k donation was made but not by the guy I remember seeing in the comments. Gatis calls the person to thank him.
Just as a test I tried claiming I made a significant BTC donation on a fresh account.
https://archive.is/ZnBN8 - It was removed (I can see it while logged in on that account), so I would not be surprised if the one from the other person I mentioned was also removed for not being legit. Doesn't really mean anything but someone else may find it interesting.
