Replying to Yami #yamikyoya I just do not understand Rob's fucking plan??? He paywalls and/or deletes all his old content after dunking on fans for the past two years for wanting to relive his actually good content and now he starts making regurgitated content to play to our nostalgia but he chased away all his old fans and none of his new fans know who the fuck any of these people are
He is out of money. He is in a financial crisis
Well yeah, thats a given
his support base is basically non existant
he is legitimately being held afloat by 5 or so people
So that spreadsheet did not account for urealms live donations
nor patreon
that was just his twitch earnings from subs and stuff
according to Rob (non reliable narrator) he declared bankrupcy in 2020
no way of knowing if that is true
but we do know his patron makes him around 1k a month based on how many 100+ dollar donors we know he has
urealms live made quite a lot of money
considering hey payed roamin, deadbones, and coe 1k per show, justin 500 apparently
and the shows made like 20k
subtract another maybe 2-3k for the slew of artists (not counting megan, they lived together, her income counts as his)
and his take away per show was something like 14k
He spent all of that Urealms money though
yeah thats all gone
he's not secretly sitting on a big lump of cash
Even back then, he was spending all that money as it came in
the digital bards video where he was asking for 100k a year personally (between him and megan) was hilarious
the streams were not all making 20k, those were the outliers
Oh I was misremembering then
I thought they all did crazy good
I think it's fair to say the "peak" earnings of urealms was in the ballpark of 100k/year USD
which is pretty good considering considering how few shows they actually did
-35k for paying the cast, -20k for art and animation and misc costs
If Rob did not dump 10x the time into something that should take 10% as much time, he could have continued doing other things and probably doubled his income
sorry, you're right
I was trying to figure out why it wasn't adding up in my head
does that 20k account for megans cut or is that apart of the remainder though spooky
Kappa
but yeah, he made 40-50k on Urealms per year, for him and Megan
Pika had the Twitch numbers
Patreon was another ~30k/year or whatever
plus maybe 10k on YouTube
he wasn't exactly rolling in views on YT
maybe a bit higher
residual view ads add up though
but yeah
youtube was the minority of his income
PlayMindrack though
if he stuck with that
he'd have been a millionaire
yes
Uquest wasn't the best move in hindsight to be fair
But at this point, I'm 99% sure Rob gets financial support from his parents to keep his apartment, and I have a very strong suspicion that monetary support was contingent on him going "to the mental hospital" a few months back
That seems likely
What exactly caused the Megan break-up, literally zero idea
his apartment is likely 2k a month
+/- say 500
didn't we say higher
when we were looking near his park
if it has a door guy, I guess its probably fancier
high end goes for like 3.5k-4k
low end like 1.5k
it's a decent 2BR
yeah, I can see it being 4k +/- 500 actually
