    You are awesome. I have been checking out your videos for about 3 years now. I've loved that you always seem to express how much you love what your doing in your vids. Plus you have given me tons of small things that I have worked into my linux experience. It was a big help to me and am very thankful for that. Especially being that I was totally new to Linux when I first started watching your vids. Your Waze GPS suggestion has been a daily part of my life. I would watch and help out in any way that I could for people that are so helpful to others. Thank you again for all that you do.

      taltigolt Nixie Pixel I cannot help but laugh at hearing this. Not because due to you two and the situations you have and had, but that I am subbed to both of you. Taligolt, you provide great modding videos. I would love to help you in the future with my windows/linux knowledge I am developing throughout schooling. And Nixie, you inspired me into linux. You MADE my career. I am going for my REDHAT certification right now, and I am majoring in IT Science at Wayne State for networking in linux. I want to convert businesses over to linux. I would be happy to donate to you and your cause. It wouldn't be much, but the amount linux adminstrators make compared to microsoft is much greater, so ill be happy to help you out :D

I've been watching for years and if I wasn't broke myself I'd buy you a ticket home. Keep your chin up and don't be ashamed to take what you need. CZcams sucks right now but the community is still there... They won't let you down. Good luck!

I actually started using Ubuntu after watching one of your tutorials back in 2012. Still trying to master the terminal.

    Nicole/Nixie Pixel thank you for being a part of youtube. I actually became involved in the Linux community because of you. You are the sole reason I passed Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and numerous other distros onto friends, family and complete strangers. I learned a lot from you and lately I have been sad to see you haven't posted on youtube in a long time. I'm sorry you're stuck in Asia, if I had the ability to I would help get you home.

    This was extremely heartwarming, I am glad you are opening up to your fans. We wish the best for you and hope that you get home safe and soon. This ideas you have are wonderful.
    I guess the only concern I have is that, people who don't help through Patreon, will they be left out on content? Or will those who contribute, be eligible for 1-on-1 tech support and perhaps more personal videos (videos showing them something they request).
    *All in all I wish the best for you and hope for your safe and immediate return home, as well as I await the regular content that is coming out!*

    • @NixiePixel
      @NixiePixel  Před 10 lety +1

      A really good question, and the answer is "absolutely not!" Patrons of my creation would get additional stuff but I will continue to make my normal videos at the same pace, and even faster!
      My dream: If I have enough funds I will hire an editor -- which if you know me, you'll know that editing is the BANE of my existence and part of the reason videos take a bit to be published in the first place. (¬‿¬)

    Re your crowed funding idea? Go for it. If you're producing good content, and you always do, people should be willing to part with a little cash. So it comes down to the size of your audience.

    I'd use patreon but only if regular content is produced. I subscribed to you because I found your videos interesting. I don't need tech support or live streams with you or the ability to call on you day and night.
    I'd just like to see you make more videos, regularly. If patreon helps you do just that, I'm in!
    Why patreon and not subbable? Because I already have a patreon account where I back other youtubers, and I can't be arsed opening yet another account just for one youtuber. Patreon seems pretty damn polished top from a subscription model perspective.

      3rd party linking in general can be shady. I'd just CNAME a domain like buynixiecoffee.com and have it link to all the things 😉
      Also link tree may be okay.. I think the core issue is that you're beholden to a hosted solution for all your content so unless you have other ways to supplement your income, you can't (and should have never) relied solely on CZcams 💜

    I'm more of a 3d Blender animation type of guy and I know 1 Blender user that does free Blender tutorials on CZcams. That's not how he makes most of income tho. He also creates expensive hardcore user tutorials that entirely cover some artistic medium in Blender. So, I thought, maybe you could make a series of hardcore Linux tutorials, and sell the series on your website, or something like that.

      Doesn't matter! There are, literally, thousands of us that make tutorials for Blender. We aren't even competing with each other really, cause some people just like the way some tutorial makers do things. I recently had a few subscribers ask me to do a tutorial on UV unwrapping in Blender. Mind you, I'm an animator. I gave them links to tutorials that I thought were good. They said they already tried those, and said they just like the way I explain things. I'm not very good at all, but hey whatever. It was a simple tutorial. The more options people have the better. No1 loses.

      I'm into it - my other channel Geekbuzz was mostly gaming. Problem is that I archived because of the CZcams content ID stuff. Now that CZcams/Google has BOUGHT Twitch I can only imagine what's happening there.. :P

      @glenrkat Před 10 lety +2

      Nixie Pixel Well, on the plus side, they can only react after the fact mostly. Streams generate revenue from contributions done live, while streaming. Who cares if they take down an archived vid on twitch. The live stuff is what matters.

    • @michaelsasylum
      @michaelsasylum Před 10 lety

      Great idea, I hear you can actually get a decent amount of money on Twitch if you have enough viewers. I'd bet your reach would improve greatly by streaming there. Not to mention helping to sell those "Top Secret" T-shirts. If you embed your stream in your own site you might be able to also get additional ad revenue and affiliate commissions on gaming/tech products.

    Miss, I'm sorry that you have to be treated like a little child, and purely as an object of visual gratification. I dislike feminism, but I'm also sorry women have to be treated this way. I respect any lady that enjoys herself in this science, despite the disgusting comments of people. You seem like an awesome person, and are one of the most beautiful-est ladies I've seen(maybe I just have a thing for redheads), and I appreciate what you do(even though I don't have a Linux-ubuntu association). Keep it up and God bless!!!!

    Pay no mind to the Zachary Bittners of the world. The reason they're so quick to troll is because they believe the technology world is some kind of "no girls allowed" club.
    Well...that's a crock of shit.
    I have enjoyed your videos and benefited from them. I'll be happy to throw money your way. Young girls need women like you to encourage their interest in technology, and silly old men like me need a few how-tos every once in a while.

    Hi Nixie, Sorry to hear about you being stuck in another country, that's got to be kind of scary. Praying for you. As for the negative comments, there are always going to be negative people out there, all you can do is keep your chin up and try to stay focused on the next right thing you feel you need to do. As for myself, I really enjoy your videos and you've helped me more than once with ideas. A lot of the time you're a bit over my head, but I can still get something out of your lessons. Please keep up the good work. Hope you get home SOON!!!

They helped me out a ton and opened up my eyes to the world of Linux and some of a cool things you can do with it. When you release some shirts I know more then a few people that will buy them up. Good Luck and keep up the awesome videos.

    Zachary Bittner Stop being a Douche. If you don't like it that much don't watch then go and troll some one else. Nixie Pixel has helped me some with some cool videos and for other stuff I had to look else where. If you feel the need to have the "right information" out there then make your own videos on the subject. But my main question is. Nixie Pixel why are you stuck? lol

    • @ZacharyBittner
      @ZacharyBittner Před 10 lety +1

      nando fiction Because its disingenuous. She is asking all of us for money and I am part of a collective of "all of us" I am pointing out that if she wants my money, all she has to be is real and genuine. I do not find her to be either.
      Or are you of the opinion that the only comments that should be allowed are supportive ones and all criticism should be silenced. Because we all know, if there is something that tech journalism is missing, its circle jerking and grandstanding. Right?

    • @nandofiction
      @nandofiction Před 10 lety

      People find her genuine though. Your opinion is OK for you to have but dude it is yours. She might be viewed differently by others and if they feel the need to support her in the time of need then so be it.

    • @ZacharyBittner
      @ZacharyBittner Před 10 lety

      nando fiction People can have their opinion as well, and they express their opinion of support often. I don't care and have only commented back to people who have challenged my opinion. You don't see me calling people douche's for expressing their opinions of support. So what exactly is your problem?

    • @nandofiction
      @nandofiction Před 10 lety

      I never said you can't have an opinion. But you definition of genuine is slightly off. She is herself as far as anyone can tell and that is genuine. But you are right calling you a douche was out of line and I apologise

    • @ZacharyBittner
      @ZacharyBittner Před 10 lety

      nando fiction According to www.nixiepixel.com/about-nixiepixel/
      she refers to herself as "gamer girl", "wild gamer chick".
      Ok, lets see this title of "gamer"
      www.xboxgamertag.com/search/NixiePlays/
      steamcommunity.com/id/nixiepixel/games/?tab=all
      yeahhh..... not really impressive. I don't consider myself a gamer and here is mine.
      steamcommunity.com/id/abandersnatch/
      If Nixie Pixel is a gamer. I must be divine gaming god.
      Wouldn't you say that her referring to herself as a gamer is disingenuous? I would point out that her self described "geek" and "nerd" is also disingenuous, but this is the easiest and most obvious to point out.

    I would definitely donate and I know a lot of happy new Linux users that I'm sure would also.

    I'm relatively new to this channel and Linux in general, but I really want to thank you for all the work put in those videos. Before I discovered them, Linux seemed so cryptic and now I enjoy it and can't stop learning how to properly use it. Also i want to say that I respect you very much, not just for all the help you offered along the years to people like me who needed it, but also because you had the courage to continue making youtube videos even if at the begining people didn't appreciate your efforts, a courage and determination not many people have (myself included:) ). You have some good ideas for the future and I will gladly support them. I hope you will manage to get home soon.
    "Once upon a time, from the obscure world of command lines a penguin rose, with the confidence he could change the world. Time has passed and soon his ideas started to grow and inspire, the dreaming penguin turning slowly, but surely into an OS army, everyone being unique in his own way. All over the OpenSource World there was chaos until Nixie came, the One Lady to rule over them all ... and bring the power of terminal and the mysterious force of Bash Commands to everyones desktop."

I personally don't watch a lot of your tech videos because as a Linux sysadmin, they cover stuff I consider pretty basic, but I'm sure there are plenty of supporters out there who would be willing to pay for video content; you've got a pretty good niche going on which I haven't seen many others fill.
