In the video, Roy clarifies the money will be going to a local cancer facility, not to Paul himself.

Oh, is that what he's saying? Alright. Well, don't feel obligated to buy a bunch of merch or anything either, just to be clear. He's apparently got people doing special merch runs.
 
Assfacts and his lesbian lover Hop gave their first hand perspective on how guntubers make money. It doesn't have anything that would surprise anyone here.
It is nice to hear that Hop and Brassfacts have enough integrity to say no to Raid Shadow Legends, even though it ultimately makes them suckers and only hurts their bottom line.
I don't begrudge people that want to take easy money from weird companies with loose purse strings, especially when it is completely unrelated to the realm of firearms, but I am very insulted when people like GT have the gall to pretend they actually play the stupid game. Sure, a bigshot youtuber with a huge ranch is totally going to play a terrible game that not even third world neets touch despite having a marketing budget higher than most 3rd world countries' GDP.
Ian gave his two cents on Leviathan in the comments. ian on leviathan.png

The Raid SL type of ads don't bother me as much because they're not directly associated with any field besides shitty mobile games, but I can understand being put off by a "review" that starts out with the presenter lying to you. Usually I just skip ahead as soon as I hear the ad start to come in and only see the 5 second shoutout ads guys like GT and Admin do in the middle of their videos. Funny Ian would comment because his ads are the only ones that have put me off a channel I used to habitually watch. Making entire videos and covering things over again so he can shill a glorified gambling "sweepstakes" site.

Hop with the gamergate reference at 9:46 lol.

GT used to shill Acre gold and the "own a piece of Scottish land" scam. Nearly all of Leviathan influencers did, come to think of it. Maybe the money from Raid is better these days.

It's almost certainly better these days since the Scottish title shit is basically dead after several youtubers did videos calling it a scam, and Acre Gold is almost certainly going to end the same way because it's a huge fucking ripoff.

As bad as Raid SL is at least it haves money. Cause a fukton of dumb fucks keep spending money on it to keep it in the top ten earning mobile games every month.

Yes, until the next scam company comes to Leviathan (and others for that matter) and it gets shilled.

Reno May will now send you a lengthy essay in your DMs about how it's not a scam and that they don't need to be transparent about how they get the money.

"In memory of Paul" at 1:30. Not a definitive statement, and contradicts what he said earlier about Paul still being around to look at comments and stuff, but it still makes me sad. I know he probably feels a lot worse about the whole situation. Awful stuff, just awful

He was talking about how people put together a bunch of memes on the insta account is what that in memory of Paul was about
 
I refuse to advertise anything I would not personally use. I suppose that's why we have only had one continued sponsor. Since almost all of our funds come from donations through patronage, I can't bring myself to insult our audience with garbage. It's a bit like shitting in the hand that feeds you.

I would LIKE to work with certain auction sites but social media rules make that difficult at best.

A Ballistol sponsorship is probably the highest complement a guntuber can receive, aside from being arrested by the feds like FPS Russia.
Sorry if the question was answered behind the paywall, but is there going to be a season 2 of the hand trap series? And more importantly, is the original season 2 going to be lost media forever, or will we get a secret director's cut of Kevin's bat aids trap shoot?

The patron "podcast" is behind a $1 wall, so we have tried to make that as painless as possible. Frankly that barrier alone has kept out the bored agitators while keeping us going.

Hand traps is all stalled out on Kevin's side. Every time he leaves town for two days his family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers freak out. I think the man might be the shadow mayor.

New "Paul Harrell" video dropped. Well, rather it's by Roy.
It's about 40 Soft & Weak in a 10mm Handgun.

I must say I was a little bit skeptical at first, but in my honest opinion Roy isn't doing such a bad job at all. I think he's slowly warming up to being infront of a camera and I'm happy to see that he's doing better and better. Still worried about Paul though :(

@Othais Incredibly specific question incoming:
Roughly how many guns do you guys think you still got to cover to be complete on your WW1 series?

So anyone got any information on King Trout, the guntuber IG comedian/shit poster who has recently found his way into the Brandon Hererra clique?

I've been following him on IG for a bit and he's been doing guest spots on the Unsubscribed podcast for a while and even hinting that he might be relocating to fully join the Hererra clique in Texas.

It’s a good thing Garand Thumb has actual interesting and novel info his videos, because otherwise I can’t imagine why anyone would want to watch videos that are 50% ads and lip smacking into a lapel microphone.
