His first incarnation as an ultraliberal troll of CG was extremely funny. But that was seemingly a long time ago. Seems like even @FROG is sick of him at this point.

Frog participated in that auction. I'm old enough to remember when he was publicly mocking smiller for doing the same thing to a dwindling audience.
It must really burn knowing smiller stumbled onto the prime NFT grift before it collapses.

For reasons that escape me probably the same reason I still watch DoomcockI watch all of Zack's vids. I'm fairly sure he mentioned Tim Lim or Doug Ernst favorably some time in the past couple of months, but I couldn't pinpoint where, let alone remember just how much he reaches around. It's like he keeps them at arms length just as much as the purer CGers. The most he mentions any comics that he isn't shitting on is "Knifehandblindspotrockanrollninjagrafficnovil".
If he's singing much, it's under his breath.

Ya Boi collates his extensive data from his many, many polls, and also addresses a handful of points:
A couple of those that jumped out at me started with the assertion that the polls didn't just involve fans. Maybe I have a boomers idea of how youtube works, but does the platform show your community posts to anyone except your subscribers?
Also, he's not going to run his business like the military, which may be a response to Doug Ernsts tweet that Mr Dongs showed earlier. He is going to run it like a temperamental artist, which sounds at once both presumptuous and a really, really bad idea.
Lastly, the point of Mary Poppins is to remind the father that he's a father, making him reconnect and spend quality time with his kids. I can see why Richard might grasp at alternative interpretations.
That sounds like something I missed. Spare a dime for a cup of childish sniggers?

Normally I'd agree but he seems to have a accrued a bunch of bitter-enders as fans that will swallow every turd he shits out and come back for more. Why this is the case I have no idea, but it is hard to argue against.

Nonsubscribers can see community posts, but it's harder for them to find them. The mobile app will occasionally dump community posts by people you're not subscribed to in your feed, but I don't think the web site shows community posts at all unless you go into someone's profile to find them.

The interesting thing is that 94% of Zack's sycophantic followers believe Cyberfrog 2 is "unacceptably late." And that number will rise to 100% in February.

The interesting thing to me is how open Zack is with trying to figure out how just how much sleaziness he can get away with from his paypigs without losing too many of them. It's shameless really. He's acknowledging that he never intends to deliver when he initially says he will, ever. His goal is to just get their money, delivering the product is a distant afterthought. I hope they're paying attention.

There is a lot of legitimate criticism that can be levelled at Zack, however it is unfair to say that he has no intention of fulfilling his crowdfunds. In fact he has a long, proven track record of fulfilment. His problem is that he is frequently late on delivery. A couple of his projects ('The Expendables Go to Hell' and the still unfulfilled 'Jawbreakers: Grand Bizarre'; the later held up while Zack allegedly researches quantum physics) have been delayed to a degree that is genuinely egregious and unacceptable.
Long time viewers of Comics MATTER will be aware that there is a cycle to Zack's creativity: We are currently at the stage where Ya Boi, his mind overcrowded with ideas, disingenuously attempts to give himself permission to launch multiple, overlapping campaigns on the understanding that some, if not all, will be late.
This manic episode will eventually give way to a period of apparent inertia, where the extent of the burden he has imposed on himself will become evident, his OCD will ramp up and progress on fulfilment will slow down considerably.
The final stage, in what I am calling the Meyer Cycle, entails Zack almost, but not quite, bringing his affairs back into order. Before he can reach a point where all of his campaigns are fulfilled and he has a clean slate, the manic part of the cycle begins again.
It's the kind of recurrent self-sabotaging behaviour that would have Wile E. Coyote shaking his head in disapproval.
Regular viewers of Comics MATTER will be aware that you can't fix Zack, anymore than you can tame Dylan - the good looking kid from the wrong side on the tracks who hangs out at the malt shop in his absent father's leather jacket. Both men are forces of nature, like a river or some geese.
I want Zack to succeed but he makes life very hard for himself, and tries the patience of his supporters.

I didn't say he never intended to deliver, just that he never intends to deliver on the date his campaigns say they will (or even close to it). He knows he won't meet his own deadlines but announces them anyway. Ask yourself why he doesn't add a year to the expected delivery date on his campaigns... it's because even fewer people would buy than he's down to now. Sorry man but that's fraud.
Remember back when Comicsgate was about customer service and not lying to them like the mainstream?

I said earlier, I've noticed that about most things comicsgate. And I've noticed, yes, it is hard to argue against.
His problem is he has the attention span and maybe the work ethic of a child chasing shiny candy wrappers in the wind.
That quantum entanglement stuff? I learned all I needed to know to use that as a handwave device from a chapter of Battle Angel: Alita. I hope he's stuffing some other big brained concepts into that head to account for the delay.
I vote for 'some geese'.

I wasn’t around at the start of CG, only got back into comics relatively recently.
Was it embarrassingly autisticly spergy like gamergate at the start? I’ve heard War Campaign mentioned, were they like the anime Twitter twats GG had?
Fair play to CG for actually creating something though. All GG had to do was create and support their own review sites but it was much easier just to call people faggots on Twitter.

In GG, the majority just wanted to focus on video games and industry corruption and didn't want things to get too political, but then you had a rowdy faction for which things were political and this was about saving Western civilization from the onslaught of the liberal blah blah blah. WarCampaign was basically those people but in CG.
I'd argue that we were at least somewhat successful at creating our own branches of media such as game review sites, or at least surfacing the non-woke alternatives that were already out there. But really, our biggest success IMO was introducing people to the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect and more broadly that blindly trusting the media - in games but in everything else as well - to be truthful and ethical is idiotic.
Could Simple Zach just be the same passive aggressive bitch Gary is, taking the limited shots at anyone who mehs in his direction? If so, he's worse than the SJWs he's criticized because at least they directly responded like crazy homeless people.

Kind of a misread of WarCampaign in my opinion. WC were never the political extremists of the bunch, they didn't give a shit about saving western culture. Their entire schtick revolved around mock-homosexuality and "boys club" ethics, not righteousness. WarCampaign was a containment zone masquerading as a purity checkpoint. They posited themselves as the vanguard, willing to get down and dirty with the enemies of ComicsGate, allowing the pros to keep their hands clean. In reality, they were actually a catch-all for would-be stalkers and sycophants, pointing their heads in the right direction and allowing them to feel like they were fighting on behalf of Frog while effectively sequestering their batshit antics away from the majority of ComicsGate. It's the kind of thing that could only occur under high concentrations of autism, and I'm not sure there's a proper 1-to-1 comparison for them in any adjacent counter-culture movement.

Seems to me that Slumtown CG has taken Warcampaign's place as Comicsgate's court jester/tard containment zone.

Where is that at? It would be way more entertaining than anything you have done in recent memory.
Oh, it is hilarious how you think you were the one who took down #WASCAMPAIGN big daddy aka Victoria Simpage
By the way, Have a great and safe New Year #COMICSGATE !!!! 2022 is going to be awesome!
