Current Events > Have you ever bought merch from a content creator?

(+) Yeah! (+)

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.

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)

Nah their stuff is overpriced advertisements. Lol $30 for a water bottle.

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

Nah

I've been operating on the assumption that it's essentially donating on patreon, just you get a little trinket too.

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

I bought candy from oompavillle. It was pretty good but expensive for what you get.

Yeah, but I have to really like them and like the merch.

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.

You mean like an Instagram person? No, but I do have a patreon sub to a group that makes miniature figurines for 3d prints

Nah. Im a cheapo, plus I generally like to keep my interests private offline

Yes cause it fed into my fandom likes.

No.

I don't watch any of them, so I don't feel the need to support them.

Ive got some Chapo Trap House Merch, but I think thats it.

I have a couple of OneyPlays shirts and the Freddie Freaker plush and hoodie...

Also have a ton of Loona from Helluva Boss... Mostly pins, standees, shirts, and the Loona plush...

If Podcasts count I have stuff from Naddpod, MBMBAM, and D&D is for Nerds...

I bought a workout program from a guy on instagram. $30 and it's pretty good.

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

I have a VTuber shirt, does that count?

yes

No because they think the bulk of their fans wear 2xl

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.

I'm currently wearing a Best of the Worst shirt from RLM

not purchased by me and not something sold directly by the content creator, but my ex-gf bought me a jim pickens (character in youtuber call me kevin's sims game playthroughs) youtooz figure.

I bought a "Super easy, barely an inconvenience" shirt from Ryan George.

Only 2 people have I considered buying from. They are food vloggers that have their own chili oil.

Yes I have unironically bought a Game Grumps and MrBeast shirt. Also have the MrBeast Burger tall cup that was used as promo merchandise when Beast Burger first launched.

I bought a bupcube from SimpleFlips as a gift for my brother. He likes it.

I bought my brother a LazyPurple T-shirt for his birthday a few years ago.

For my son, yeah.

Bought a T-Shirt of one of his favorite YouTubers

Ive got a couple shirts from podcasts

Id kill to have an uncle roger plush

I bought the Angey Video Game Nerd movie on DVD as well as a compilation DVD of Atop the Fourth Wall.

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.

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.

Oh right, I forgot I bought a friend an AVGN DVD long ago.

I bought a t-shirt

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.

I bought a shirt from PurePwnage ages ago before there was Youtube.

I got this. https://sharkrobot.com/products/dodge-orange-variant

Can't think of anything else.

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.

Absolutely never.

Hahaha fuck no
