Subbable?

[TTesla]

Have you guys heard of subbable?

https://subbable.com/

Intro:

Basically it's to help fund youtubers in ways other then advertisment. For example you can make a one time donation. Or better yet, you can subscribe for a monthly amount. THIS IS VOLUNTARY. So you don't have to do it to watch their videos. But when you do, you get special perks. Such as a signed poster, or a shoutout in the discription.

Why:Soooo, why am I telling you this.

Have any of you guys noticed how much of his videos have become infested with ads, and sponserships. Not to mention completly inspired by sponsors. Now instead of complaining (which I never did) I though this might help. This will allow linus to not have to rely on ads and instead on the people who acually enjoy and love his videos. Better yet, if he gets more money then his budget he can do awesome things (post your ideas below). Lastly it will allow him to make videos more freely.

So my question is would any of you guys support him with like $1 a month, or more? (preferably more).

I don't mind the ADs watch 5 sec of ADs (Which you can skip) for a 7 min video that is a pretty good trade off.

Edit: this subbable thing would be a good idea for Linus though, just so he has some extra money in his pocket.

Better give him a sub button on TwitchTV and let people sub. He would make much more cash to use for whatever purpose he wants. He tops 2k viewers on every stream I don't see why TwitchTV would have a problem giving him one.

It's not really about the ads, more about the sponsers. They basically control his videos. This is so he doesn't have to rely on the unstable sponsorship thing. Again allowing for more freedom over what the videos are about.

But that's only for livestreams, and you don't have any perks. I don't know I just think subbable is better.

He only chooses sponsors that wont effect the video so if it was a case video he wouldn't put a 350D AD on it

This is like a sub for a sub sort of. I'd rather watch ads.

Well, yes, but he still he relies on it.

I like the idea of donating to LinusMediaGroup and I think it should be an option but not Subbable.

Why not? Subbable is an OPTIONARY subscription.

I would like a more traditional donating option like a paypal or something like that.

You can make a one time donation as well. And use paypal (through amazon).

Plus, someone named cpg grey started using subbabale TODAY, and he already got %104 of what he asked for!

Love cpg grey, I think it would be a great idea to use subbable.  I like some of the sponsor ads, it would just be nice to see Linus Media Group thrive more via the community donations.

CGP Grey is awesome. I believe that John/Hank Green are going to be adding Crashcourse (? maybe a different one) on Scubbable.

I think this could work for the dedicated fans but for the more casual fans, I think ads are more viable.
