a lot of the mindcrack guys where burning out or had burnt out at that time

It was definitely set up in a way that “this money will be used for UQuest” iirc

it would of gone down anyway, i think rob just made it faster

So i just checked out of curiosity since it should give us a good idea of rent

all the appartments in robs area got for 2k a month

at the lowest

I assume he does not live in a 0 bedroom studio appartment though

since we know it has rooms

I don't judge Rob for living in a non-shithole

toronto is a shithole

I have no idea why he still lives there, he works online, he could move 30-40 minutes away and save like 500 a month

and Megazon, "the money will be used for uquest"

to me says "this is enough money for my wife and I to dedicate 2 years to making the game"

yeah, for uquest means "I will live on this so I can work on uquest"

sure there are some assets/music he'll buy but that's fairly small

Oh ok yeah

This was in 2016 I think

But yeah true

the Willy's Magic Ride stuff was weird

it was just a Twitch donation goal iirc

and every week they met the goal, he'd comitt to doing another week of DvZ

also, i don't remember well, but wasn't hermit craft nowhere near as large at that time

but they failed week 1 or week 2 (because Rob fucked it up)

and he never did it again

yep here we go

alright spooky, to derail just before you dump shit

rob might actually grow this month

he grew by 1 this month

hes up 8 so far

we'll see

sorry let me clarify

what I mean is, get above where he ended the previous month at

no start above the previous month start

he's never done that yet

thats the post artists leaving image

after he lowered it from like 23k or whatever

that's how high it got

no he did not lol

not even close

but however you slice it

$20k/month via direct donations

will always be insane

yeah

if he just kept doing URL, he'd have been fine

I still love the text on that shit

between URL, patreon, ads, twitch subs/bits

he was doing great

"I will not do urealms live to make money, but if you don't pay me, I will"

even if it was shrinking

This was mental breakdown Rob though

the guy who slept on HiveQueen's husbands couch for a week

"Cancel your twitch sub and give me money directly. Get bent Amazon these are my fans. Close your patreon and give me money directly." I wonder how many of the massive patreon drop was from this, but then they just never came back

the drop preceeded this

sure, but this probably didn't help

the "I'm canceling URealms, go love HiveQueen now"

losta lot

and then

the "you guys didn't donate enough to HiveQueen, fuck my fans"

lost a LOT more

Looking at the numbers before rob turned off his amount earned

robs per patreon jumped like 2 dollars

during the drop

so it probably did not initially hurt as badly as it looked

it was all his 1 dollar-5 dollar patreons pulling out

the whales stayed for the most part

assuming that's correct, that's what I'd expect too though

since it's not until the end of the month

yeah

that the patrons get charged

people with the most sunk cost are the last to go

so no one would be canceling, if they still liked Rob

they just wouldn't renew

I wish rob was not a coward

and kept his youtube subs/patreon earnings public

anyway, we talk about Rob's numbers enough as is

RIP mindcrack

but spooky, numbers is the current rob meme
