Everyone seems to sell merch, so people must be buying it, but I've never been tempted to buy any.

Nah I just don't get that kind of culture.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Yes.

I've bought a couple shirts, I've been given a shirt directly by a content creator I met, and I've bought generalized merch.

Got this coming in July

But I've also spent and/or given a fuck ton of money to content creators in the form of twitch bits, subs, gifted subs, direct donations (both just cause and so I could share media on stream)
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.

Nah their stuff is overpriced advertisements. Lol $30 for a water bottle.
This is where cool people write stuff.

No, but I'm not really in the scene that much. I only occasionally watch random YouTubers and hardly ever watch streams.

I've been operating on the assumption that it's essentially donating on patreon, just you get a little trinket too.
There's a difference between canon and not-stupid.

The closest thing would be buying a shirt from Yetee during a GDQ, but otherwise no.

Ive bought some LTT stuff and consistently been pretty impressed with it. But its because they were making products I wanted and didnt see anyone else making, not because of how I feel about them as a group. The magnetic cable management stuff should have been done ages ago.

I also bought a couple of t-shirts from a pro-wrestler through instagram.

Not sure what counts as a "content creator", but I funded a Kickstarter for Vegan Black Metal Chef's book (a long time ago).
I've also funded all three HushKit books.

Some Brentalfloss CDs, NSP albums, NSP Graphic Novels, lots of AVGN DVDs back in the day as well as the movie on Blu-Ray. At a Game Grumps live show last fall I bought a shirt and set of pins.
Probably the only Mario Maker 2 level I'll ever create worth sharing.

I bought some Spoony One merchandise back when he was still a thing. One AVGN DVD just for the novelty of owning a DVD (the first one). Some Classic Game Room stuff a long time ago.

I bought a Wrestling with Wregret shirt lol just one as I thought it was kinda hilarious (No Entrance, No Victory). I'd rather have something physical than just funnel a ton of money into a Patreon.

I suppose lately I haven't bought any but shirts or hats are fun.

Subbed to a few twitch streamers but never bought anything. Generally speaking I don't like being an advertisement, even for things I like.

Isnt technically anything you buy from a content creator? They created the content youre buying.

I've actually been thinking about grabbing some of that merch, really need to get my cable management under control.

The only merch I've ever bought was the LTT screwdriver and I have had zero regrets about it, it's a fantastic driver.

I also got their backpack but does it count when my work paid for it? It again, fantastic quality backpack.
The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist.

Depends on how you define "content creator".

I've bought Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel merch from Vivziepop, and bands I like, but not rando streamers or reaction channels.
