I can quite easily believe Bob is being truthful here, given they're all e-books and therefore have zero overheads; if he sells a single copy they automatically become profitable.

There’s only “zero overheads” if he writes, edits, and publishes them on a volunteer basis. I know legit authors who get major advances, earn royalties, and still feel that they put so much time into the process that they probably only made minimum wage if they broke it down into an hourly rate. We know Bob is not one for editing, revising, or proofreading, but still: If he took more than $1000 in sales for all of his books combined, I’d be surprised.

But let’s be very generous and run the numbers. If he’s taken $5k, that’s $625 per book before costs. Even $20k would only gross him $2500 before costs. There’s no way to spin these numbers into a profitable success unless you consider his efforts a 100% donation.

You want to ask them, if replacement isn't bad, then what did the white people do that was so bad to the original inhabitants of america?

Bob would probably gurgle that they didn't do it perfectly if you asked him this question and framed it as GOP members in states like California.

Bob books are another product of His broken brain

Correction, Bob does not write books. He wrote a book. All of the other self published stuff is just his blog posts and scripts put into a "collection".

Elder's only favored because the left won't shut up about him. There are Democrats going for Newsome's spot who are much more likely to win (San Francisco and San Diego control the election, remember) but the way the left acts like Elder simply having a snowball's chance in Hell is the end of the world that's what all the think pieces from the Very Serious Journalists targeting him makes it look like he's more likely to win than he is. Which may become a self-fulfilling prophecy, because "Streisand Effect? What's that?!"

California has literally twice as many Democrats as Republicans. The difference between number of Democrats and number of Republicans in California is greater than the entire voting-age population of 40 states. The fact that this might be the second time since 2003 that they end up with a Republican governor because Democrats cannot ever, no matter what they do or how much money they spend, convince their supporters that elections exist in non-presidential years is the true lol.

There is next to no overhead for a self published ebook, overhead is the fixed cost of operating a business that's not directly tied to the actual work. Utilities, insurance, rent, etc, the kind of stuff the firm has to pay regardless of what's going on. That doesn't apply to writing a book as a private citizen in your spare time.

The most relevant term for his book sales is opportunity cost, IE, how much money could have made if he'd done something other than write those books. At a rough guess, blob makes about $250 in ad revenue per video release, plus a much smaller amount of ongoing revenue, I can't be bothered to calc it. To be crazy generous, if it take the sane amount of time to write a book as it dies to make 4 videos, he needs to sell $1000 worth of books for it to be profitable (let's be generous and say residual sales and ongoing ad revenue even out).

His books sell for 4 dollars, he'd need to move 250 copies to break even......I have my doubts.

The problem with California is it's stacked so full of Democrats (chasing their fortunes in Big Tech or Hollywood) that a significant number of Democrats (or complacent voters) have convinced themselves that they don't need to vote, because there's plenty of others to pick up the slack for them. In other words, it's a waste of time and they'll just get what they'd vote for anyway. This is in contrast to Red-Aligned cynics who know that even if everyone possible votes, there's no point because they still don't have the numbers to eke out a win unless a ton of Undecided Voters (usually left-leaning) throw a tantrum at the status quo.

Bobby's Smooth Crayon-eating blue curtain analyzing brain is convinced that taking power from the Red is a good idea. However, he's not thought this through. What if Red someday gets into power, and suddenly decides Blue is obsolete and decides to rip all power from them? What's Movieblob gonna do then?

The same thing he always does: cry on Twitter up until the Gestapo kick in his door.

Which, let's be honest I don't want the Republicans going full tyrant, even as revenge. Fuck that. Let the Left be crying in impotency while everyone around them lives their best life.

I'm not a "working class" elite like Bob or Chris.

You know guys, you know what I’ve always wondered? Why do losers like Bob and Chris want to be ‘the Elite’?

Same reason peasants in the Middle Ages dreamed of becoming gentry. Money. In their view, elite=rich. In their minds, the rich don't work for their money, they just jet set around the world and do whatever they want. They ignore that rich people DO work, they just figure out a way to generate their income passively, and most rich folks worked (or still work) their asses off to set up that passive income so they can enjoy the benefits of wealth. Of course, one does not simply join the elite because they want to. Hence why at best the Chipmans will be little more than tools of the elites like all good lefties.

Because they resent being born into a working class family with no intellectual heritage to speak of and are extremely insecure about it. They are very invested in what others think about them because their respective views of themselves are rather low. These are not the posturing and declarations of confident men.

They're vanity projects, so the man-hours he puts into them isn't a factor; as far as he's concerned if they make money once they're on Amazon that means they're profitable.

I checked it out and it costs nothing to publish to Amazon, they just take a 30% cut per sale, so given Bob would have been farting this crap out on some blog either way --actually if I remember correctly at least some of the books are just collections of old blog posts-- any Kindle version he sells is pure profit in my estimation.

If he was actually trying to run a business as an author...well that would be a different story.

People like bob and Chris think they rightfully are already part of the elite just on the merit of who they are. It why they're also so angry because the world is denying them what they are entitled to.

 

[blablabla]

blobbo totally knows how much of a retard white trash hick he really is. Thats why he hasnt posted more of his repulsive food, his shitty basement pig pen or more fantasies about how he totally has sex

Remember: it's the future Bob EARNED (somehow).

That makes me wonder exactly how he thinks he earned a "superior future". He went to college and makes reviews of children's films online and only did that because he saw people like AVGN and Nostalgia Critic getting lots of views and angrily bloviates constantly on Twitter. Oh wow, such a national treasure, nominate this man for the Congressional Medal of Freedom already.

He hasn't earned a superior future. He hasn't even earned a succulent Chinese meal.

Bob is more obsessed with it than Chris. Chris just wants to sit around and make podcasts because he finds it more fulfilling. Plus, Chris has a wife, kids and friends.

Bob has nothing and no one. But if he gets his money, he can finally pay a scientist to figure out how he can upload his brain into a robot and live forever. Because he assumes money is a magic wand rich people wave that allows them to do amazing things poor people can't do. The fact that the richest men in the world don't have robot bodies or have built Enterprise level space ships is not an indication that it's impossible, just that those men are actually stupid and don't understand how to spend their money. Also, rich people live longer, and Bob is now in the second half of his life, as a fat man with diabetes.

And, as was said above, so he can finally pay a model to fuck him.

Bob believes he has earned it just by existing.

This is exactly right. Bob and Chris have these grand ideas about what they want, but they are completely incapable of achieving them because well...just look at them. They think being elites will make them happen. What they fail to realize is that elites have literal cut throat tendencies. They wouldn't last very long.

 

[mandatorylurk]

Blob needs to keep his lies straight, if his books are so profitable he shouldn't have been ducking credit card companies last year, selling off crap on ebay or needing stimmie tendies. Unless he really is using 7 year old logic that +$0.01 over your costs = profitable, showing how little Blob values his time and work.

 

[glib]

So i wanted to do my usual thing of commenting on a specific @Positron post that stood out to me, but i feel the need to go a little further.

I've been noticing how Bob has this sort of "tangential" style of thinking, where he seems to be adding on phrases and statements as addendums to his previous statement whilst in the middle of making that statement.

So he could just say "the thing about cute gotchas like this is that there's A LOT of assumption and conflation going on here." That is a complete sentence.

He adds in the "RE" so he can specify what he means. "Subject matter, audience..." and when he gets to patron he has to add parentheses, which makes his sentence 3 statements deep. Like i have to break out PEMDAS from elementary school to figure out what hes trying to say or something.

(Gotcha statement) + (RE: statement) + (Parentheses addendum)

So what is the audience left with?
He's upset that people are assuming and conflating things because of the subject matter, who the audience is, why its being said, who is saying it, and what the intent/hidden meaning is behind the statement. But that applies to everyone, and nothing. Its meaningless, especially coming from a twitter account that does this to other people all the time. He is projecting, and stumbling over his own logic to try and get there.

It is no wonder that he is so upset because he is accusing others of what he is doing. He can't slow down his own thought process to make a coherent statement on its own. Its all glued together disparate components, blurted out in a sort of "blooming onion" of layered statements that are designed to be an all-encompassing, axiomatically true in all instances profound statement of merit. Except its just him saying "hahaha context matters, you are biased and wrong bye bye!"

He needs to stop with the first draft lunacy. He makes associations in his own mind that we are not privy to, and assumes everyone can follow along with his fat hamfisted mayo logic.
