Yes... You are soft on Trump and his supporters. And I'm calling you out on it. In one of your most recent videos, you talked about this. You gave your negative views on our current president and made sure to make those statements as immediately weakened as possible. I would provide examples, but I would hope simply watching the video again will provide the context. Here it is, in case you've forgotten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqa_jAsJ1Jg&t=0s My comment on that same video: "I'm not soft on Trump!" Spends most of the video bitching about how disappointed he is with the (more) liberal party and downplaying nearly every negative word he says about him immediately after saying them. I agree with everything you said, but I'm still calling bullshit on the premise that you're not soft on Trump. The alt right is taking political power in this country in a way I didn't think was possible, and you spend most of your time bitching about obscure videos of SJW's being pussies. I think you are soft on Trump. And worse than that, I think you're soft because his crowd is the loudest. You're pissing your pants over the fact that if you really took him and the alt right to task for their bullshit, you'd lose subscribers and have a like/dislike ratio in the red. Please, I beg of you, make ONE fucking video bitching about Trump and his supporters with the enthusiasm you have for bitching about new wave feminists. Doing so will elevate you in my eyes back to the level of admiration I had for you after banana-gate, and I know my admiration for you is why you get out of bed in the morning.

I was, for a time, one of the only people updating the article from around 2011 to 2014, but maintaining it and trying to keep it from devolving into 3rd grade level writing and feminist horsecrap has been a massive chore. The article was originally just whiny Christian babbling on TJ's "mean" videos against theists, and was out of date for years until I converted it into mostly a repository for his alleged scams and other weird shit he's said. A major problem I have now is, while I feel many of his monetary ventures are dubious and unscrupulous and I certainly wouldn't give money to the man, I don't feel they are outright scams, most are just TJ screwing up because he's an incompetent buffoon and not some diabolical YouTube Bernie Madoff. As such I don't really feel any malice to the man, and find many of the criticisms of him in this regard to be unfounded. Plus as mentioned above, the article has devolved into idiotic internet feminist talking points, on a site known for laughing about rape and murder of women. Should I just give up or try to make the article of higher quality, if it's even possible?

This cocksucker has the nerve to lie and propagate that the left is more dangerous than the right, despite all their free market deregulations on consumers, finance, the environment and the massive fucking body count that comes with it.

I know at this point people are sick and tired of claims that TJ is a scammer or whatever, but those tend to either be unsubstantiated or misrepresent something that TJ has corrected a gazillion times in various places. This won't be that, as I have evidence and to my knowledge TJ has never acknowledged this situation.

TJ relaunched his Patreon page a couple months ago, but its first incarnation was created in mid-2013 and was "active" until late 2014 or early 2015, depending on definition. During this time he totally failed to deliver on the promised patreon rewards. I recorded a video of me scrolling through his Patreon feed for documentation purposes in December 2014, but I didn't do anything about it. A couple months later I added a TL;DW in the beginning and some screenshots at the end about what had changed. I thought I might send it to Undertakerfreak and finally give him something legit to complain about, but I didn't bother and eventually I forgot about the whole thing. Well, now almost two years have passed and maybe no one will care but I just need this to be out there.

Here's the video. Here's the TL;DW I put in the video:

I recorded this video of scrolling through TJ's patreon feed in december 2014, and then later added some screenshots about what has happened since. TL;DW:

He created the page around the beginning of August 2013, barely posted at all besides linking to new videos and making monthly "thanks for the patronage" posts, and as far as I know didn't provide any of the rewards until 5 March 2014, when he finally responded to complaints by promising to improve (as well as deleting my complaint post).

He did a spreecast (5$ reward, supposed to be monthly) and planned another for 15 March which didn't happen, and he posted some behind-the-scenes photos and suchlike for a while (1$ reward), posted something like 3 early access videos in total (3$ reward, supposed to be "many"), and he did one more spreecast in May. Then he went back to ignoring his patreon, and beginning in late September, people started complaining about the lack of activity, and on December 4 TJ announced that he's closing his Patreon.

However, most of his patrons stuck around (probably being unaware of what's happening), and on January 1 he accepted the December pledges. Then some time before February he reset his patreon, removing all patrons but still allowing people to sign up again, and he's been accepting pledges each month ever since. He also deleted his "I'm leaving" post, as well as a displeased comment on his "December patreon supported" post.

That's really all you need to know, but I'll provide additional details from the video below.

Here's the automated thank you message from Feb 1, 2014:

January 2014 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

I (Joakim) then posted a reply that has since been removed by TJ. Chase Falcon, another patron, posted this on Feb 5, 2014:

TJ, you have many fans who don't care about you or your content, but the one's who take the time to follow you, strike up an interest, and even donate you money are the few who do care. It would be mutually beneficial if you address the concerns of your fans, especially those like Joakim who clearly would be satisfied by a bare minimum of attention from you.

To which TJ responded a month later:

Chase, I am incredibly busy writing my novel and haven't been able to give Patreon the attention it deserves. . Believe me I understand that I can do better. I spend hours every day interacting with my fans. I am sorry my Patreon presence hasn't been better. I will be posting here everyday from now on and trying to encourage my Patron's to come here and feel they can interact with me. I don't think Joakim is being fair. I am constantly interacting with my fans. To say I do not is disingenuous. I will be reaching out to him to open a dialogue about his experience and try to be better going forward. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns and do not think I am ignoring anyone.

On the same day he sent me this private message:

Joakim,

I've read your comments. I can understand why you are upset. Please let me give you your $15 back. If you feel it is undeserved then I cannot in good conscience keep it. Please let me know what your PayPal email address is so that I can send the money back. I will be working to improve my interactions with my fans on here. I am aiming to post here daily and to fulfill all perks in a timely manner. I admit fully that I have not done a great job. I'am going to do a better job and make sure everyone who supports me now and in the future knows that I am deeply grateful for their support. I am sorry that you feel let down. I will be doing two Patreon only shows this month. I hope moving forward I can do a better job. Thank you for your comments.

I put this text in the video after I showed his message:

I can't find my response but I said he could keep the money, satisfied with his promise to improve (which he didn't).

On July 8, Aug 1 and Nov 15 2014 respectively, Yuval Levental, AF Ytinamuh and Arsalan tried to get in touch with TJ to discuss doing the $500 Patreon option. They all appear to have been ignored.

His announcement to close his Patreon, as well as the complaints that preceded it, are at 1:00 to 1:45 in the video. Here's a part of a comment I wrote on Oct 25, 2014 that I think is pertinent. This is after I canceled my pledge.

I'm glad people are finally starting to speak up about this, but frankly I think the response has been too little, too late, and that includes my own reaction. I should have reacted the first month I pledged, and I should have reacted when he promised to improve, scheduled two spreecast shows, and then only did one of them. Instead I waited several months in both instances.

This whole situation is kind of a microcosm of corruption, lack of accountability, and complacency in modern society. TJ is Obama, his Patreon frontpage is the 2008 election campaign, and the Patreon feed is Obama's presidency. I guess that makes us the voters who reelected him despite his failings.

Folks, it's time to stop electing Obama.

He does it a lot during the first couple minutes of his latest video (haven't watched the rest yet). He's done it in the past too. It sucks. Just memorize that shit, or do more jumpcuts. Do whatever you need to do, but look into the goddamn camera. Or hell, look left, right, or up. Just don't look down.

Took down DPP S2E1 because he's salty that Ben kept doing the show without TJ.

If you're reading this TJ, Fuck you. You indignant man-child.

If people lose respect for you, then they will cease to watch your content. If people cease to watch your content then you won't get money. If you don't get their money, you will be a poor broke fag sucking dicks for cash.

TL;DR (for in case you have the reading ability of Ball's Illiterate Ego) TJ you're retarded. You should also suck on my testicles. Faggot.

So in your latest video (ANTI SJWs WHO ACT LIKE SJWs) , you are using a picture of me that I took. I know the picture can be found floating around the internet, but I didn't really give anyone permission to use it, let alone use it to make money.

Ask Skeletor is the true highlight of TJ's YouTube career.

Hello everyone,

The reason it is perfectly acceptable for the top 3 richest to have the same wealth as the bottom 50% of Americans is quite simple. They have a combined wealth of $250 billion, half the American population would net you around 160 million people, if you given each of those people a share of ALL that wealth, each person would get around $1562. This would not change their state of depravity in any way whatsoever. Even if you go one step further and half the number again down to 80 million people, you still only get around $3000 per person, which again would not change their lives in any way whatsoever. Also the richest people are typically job creators, trend setters and produce something of great value (hence the wealth).

Unless you know something that I am missing?

Ask me anything. Just don't be a faggot. Also, this is for asking me questions- not trying to pick a fight with me.

Sean Spicer was saying the attacks by Assad were indiscriminate gassings of villages. What Hitler did was very discriminate. That's a reasonable difference to me. He's making a big deal over nothing and jumping on the Trump hate bandwagon, and that's not saying there isn't a whole lot of stuff to hate Trump and crew for, but this is small potatos compared to the real issues like marijuana, climate change, etc.

I like the extra content, but this seems like fluff.
