Are the videos going on CZcams at the same time as Patreon or a bit later? Also, this is probably just me not knowing about how to film a video, but what's with the ping pong paddle? Is that a mic?
Uploaded same day And yes, it is a microphone with a very dense ball of foam around it. It's one of the best on the market and I'm so glad I invested in it 11 years ago when I was working on Game Theory.
It took me until like halfway through the video for me to realize what you were holding wasn't some kind of sign you were going to flip to show something. And a few more seconds for me to realize that was a comically large mic lmao
Ok wow I did not expect to see an announcement like this from any creator ever. I'll definitely keep watching your channel since your the reason I ever got into comic's just to be clear though would watching ads be even a small way to support your content? cause up until now I had impression it's better to keep my ad blocker off. Now I'm not so sure
@@ComicDrake then I'll be happy to keep that blocker off 👍 I remember you told me a few years back there's no better time to read better than the present and I've enjoyed reading anything I can get my hands on ever since
Hey bro, this is a job, this takes effort and you're really entertaining, we like watching you for a reason. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you making a buck with your videos
CZcams screwed us over, it time to screw them back. For me I use ad block for website and don’t care about watching ads. Thank you for the vid experience and making it also free.
Hope this works out well for you! Its weird I feel like I've never really had the issue off not seeing peoples new uploads but have been hearing about it for so long. I'm mostly a desktop viewer rather than mobile so maybe that? I tend to come home from work, start up my PC and check my "dailies" in my sub box so maybe it's just I check that? I know it's hard to go further back and find an upload from a specific channel amidst all the other stuff so maybe that plays into it? I have noticed a difference between what videos tend to show on my desktop homepage vs mobile. Maybe it tracks things differently? Whole thing is wonky and never really understood what was going on. Happy to watch either way! I think I've seen em all since I've been subbed! Love your stuff!
A lot of people will subscribe to hundreds of creators and when they log on, it's just a mess of notifications at the top that they don't pay attention to. Some people also don't ever check the notifications menu and wait for the videos to show up in their feed, but CZcams tries to shove other things in front of your face instead. They figure you're already going to watch the guy you're subscribed to so they'll show you even more people to keep you on their site longer.
Not even mad about it. Been subscribed for ever and YT has oddly weened you off my feed over time, so this is a nice little way to give you a boost in visibility from those of us who want to see your uploads
Oh hey, that's me as an example comment! Idk if us Premium watchers have helped you gain any money, but will give it a try and see how Patreon works for this. Good luck regardless and can't wait for more videos here and on Patreon!
As long as you still get paid that’s all I care about. You deserve it, I use YT premium and can take the extra second to fast-forward something I don’t want to see/hear. I wish people had more empathy to understand that content creators need to get paid too.
Side note but if anyone has Adblock but still wants to support certain channels, I highly recommend CZcams premium since it will still give CZcams channels you view Adsense without the hassle of watching the ads
I'm glad you're still able to make money on CZcams via ads and sponsorships while being able to provide your content back to the community via Patreon like this! I do really hope this doesn't land you in any legal hot water with a sponsor complaining about you removing their sponsorship bits for free on another site, the last thing I'd want is for such a generous action like this to result in financial or legal problems for you. Thank you, it shows just how much you care about this community to do this, mad respect!
I just have CZcams premium and adblock on so I can support craters that I enjoy. But I find it hilarious that this was at the top of my recommendation list when I open the app
Ya know now that you mention it I had your bell notification on and I was wondering my I hadn’t seen a notification about you uploading, you do you man I’ll still follow over to watch on the patreon
Honestly there's also the big issue that a lot of the sponsors turn out to be scummy. Like HelloFresh is abusive (and seems to use exploited monkey labor???), Bright Cellars is a scam, and BetterHealth is frankly evil.
I don't have adblock for youtube. I have it for web pages that cover the entire screen in ads to the point that I can't read the content. Wikis are pretty bad about this. I do pay for CZcams premium too tho
Whatever you do man I always hope that it works out for you. I no longer read comics but I really appreciate your work and hope for you to be able to make a living out of it
I think the biggest problem is people use the home page NOT the subscription tab to see if anyone you like watching has uploaded then get recommendations for new creators only down the side or on the home page with some of your subscriptions mixed in
I have a video recommendation! You should do one all all the Weapon Plus Programs! I tried doing the research myself but it got really confusing, but there was interesting finds like Nuke and weapon 0!
I personally don't miss videos on my subscription feed (I've checked multiple times when I first heard about this being a problem and have checked several times since when I noticed someone isn't uploading as often and yea, they just haven't been uploading as often, I did not miss anything) so I personally don't need this. I'm still confused frankly and can't help but wonder if this is more of an issue with the home feed than the subscription feed or if it's because people tend to have too many subscriptions to channels that upload more frequently (for the hundreds of channels I am currently subscribed to, a number built since the mid to late 2000s, most of them either upload sparingly or are completely inactive)
I appreciate the gesture (although CZcams funnily does notify me). I just hope this won't affect your revenue that much. Also personally I love your sponsors because you at least have fun seaways.
I feel like a lot of people (like me) are going to subscribe to one of his premium Patreon tiers just because of this. This is such a cool movie, and it also really shows his character. So, I'm definitely going to throw some money his way for it.
I use adblockers because more often than not i have to stop everything i do (like when taking a shower or something) to skip a 15 minutes ad (even sometimes full 2 hours conferences as an ad), and i don't talk about how much ad are unskippables now. When half of your experience on a 15 min video is watching ads this is an issue, not a feature. Sponsoring is great and a good middle ground i think, since you can at least choose who you work for.
Huh. It seems as though some subset of the social media environment is circling back to the old Internet. Personal sites, newsgroups, chatrooms and mailing lists.
i used adblock until youtube stopped working with it running. never had an issue with sponsored ads. my issue is when i'm watching a 5 min video and suddenly i'm hit with a 30 min ad (yes its skippable, but still)
To make things clear: I WILL STILL BE UPLOADING TO CZcams!
Yeah don't be watcher
Thank you
Are the videos going on CZcams at the same time as Patreon or a bit later?

And I'll still give you that CZcams premium watch time as I always have. Good luck with the new strategy!
Funny enough, CZcams DID notify me on this video.
They're really Selective
Same
Me too lmao
SAME
Same
same
Algorithm kills video, CZcamsr goes into nuclear passive aggressive mode
I agree
"well, I'm gonna make my own video site, with blackjack, and hookers!"
I support this
I didn’t realise you’re mic had a cover and was wondering why you were holding a random frying pan…
I was sooo confusedddd, thank you
aaa thats what this is!
I thought it was a prop for some kind of joke until like halfway through the video lol
pretty sure it's a PUBG reference. :P
Oh that isn't a frying pan!?
The irony is that this video actually showed up on my feed. Glad you have an optional Patreon, not forced but you deserve support my friend.
same here, it was even on my front page for CZcams which never seems to happen with Drakes videos since I subbed
It took me until like halfway through the video for me to realize what you were holding wasn't some kind of sign you were going to flip to show something. And a few more seconds for me to realize that was a comically large mic lmao
"Can I have some ice cream?"
"Only a microphone-full."
*pulls out comically large microphone*
I was thinking the same thing, like "why is he holding a ping pong paddle the whole time?"
thats a comically big mic cover
Because Drake
yeah i wouldn't have the balls to do this if my full time job was youtube
Huh. I've never heard of this "Ads or Sponsors" comic
Captain Mad Man... To the MAds Ave Cave Product Placement Boy.
Holy Pun-ish-ment Captain Mad-man
The opposite of the watcher channel 😂
So he not gonna upload to yt
It's not gonna change for most people nlg
Ngl, I couldn't imagine watching videos without ads, sponsors or patreon plugs. Just seems like the new normal at this point lol
Yeah, it's wild.
true I usually skip em cause it's the digital age They aren't like commercials to me.
I got a bell notification on this video.
I get, like, every other one.
Bro I don’t mind the ads get yo money
Right like TV. Don't like the ads. Skip or go to the bathroom.
Ok wow I did not expect to see an announcement like this from any creator ever.
I'll definitely keep watching your channel since your the reason I ever got into comic's just to be clear though would watching ads be even a small way to support your content? cause up until now I had impression it's better to keep my ad blocker off. Now I'm not so sure
Absolutely, watching ads is the best way to support the without directly giving money to me.
Glad I could get you interested in this amazing hobby!
@@ComicDrake then I'll be happy to keep that blocker off 👍 I remember you told me a few years back there's no better time to read better than the present and I've enjoyed reading anything I can get my hands on ever since
@@ComicDrakeOh neat you’re sitting on your new gaming chair (throne)
@@labgoat6787 You must be new here. 🤣
WE GOT THE THRONE BACK
Ironicaly CZcams DID notify me on this video

Never seen your channel or a video before, however this video alone has made me a fan. Subbing and checking out the rest of the vids!
Hope this works out well for you!

This is how the first stone falls. Welcome to the era of creators using CZcams as a proxy for other platforms
Not even mad about it. Been subscribed for ever and YT has oddly weened you off my feed over time, so this is a nice little way to give you a boost in visibility from those of us who want to see your uploads
Drake: _Makes a video announcing all his videos no longer will have any ads or sponsors_
CZcams: *I'll pretend I didn't hear that*
Oh hey, that's me as an example comment!
Idk if us Premium watchers have helped you gain any money, but will give it a try and see how Patreon works for this. Good luck regardless and can't wait for more videos here and on Patreon!
You holding the BIG SPHERE MIC is really funny

Great video! You always do a very good job and, from one comic book fan to another, I appreciate what you do! Keep it coming please.
Wow, you're the most transparent content creator. Wishing you the best of luck.
I'm glad you're still able to make money on CZcams via ads and sponsorships while being able to provide your content back to the community via Patreon like this!

I just have CZcams premium and adblock on so I can support craters that I enjoy. But I find it hilarious that this was at the top of my recommendation list when I open the app
As a YT premium viewer, I'll still watch here, but I also watch every video so I support your choice in whatever way my dude!
Crazy how I've been subscribed for so long and this is the first one of your videos to show up in my recommended in the past few months
Ya know now that you mention it I had your bell notification on and I was wondering my I hadn’t seen a notification about you uploading, you do you man I’ll still follow over to watch on the patreon
I hope that this is a success for you! You're a big inspiration in this comic book space!
Massive respect for making a hard call like this. CZcams is unforgiving and you're awesome for standing up for what you believe in.
Interesting, more videomakers need to try this, rather than rely on shady sponsors!
Honestly there's also the big issue that a lot of the sponsors turn out to be scummy. Like HelloFresh is abusive (and seems to use exploited monkey labor???), Bright Cellars is a scam, and BetterHealth is frankly evil.
I subbed to you so long ago, and i swear this is the first videos that's popped up in my feed
I don't have adblock for youtube. I have it for web pages that cover the entire screen in ads to the point that I can't read the content. Wikis are pretty bad about this. I do pay for CZcams premium too tho
Whatever you do man I always hope that it works out for you. I no longer read comics but I really appreciate your work and hope for you to be able to make a living out of it
Yall give this man all the tips for just being cool as hell!
for like 2/3 the video I thought he was holding a table tennis racket and was wondering when he was going to turn it around....

Youre legitimately a great dude, i know i dont know you but I can definitely tell. Wish you the best
Legit such a brilliant idea! You're a genius drake
This is super cool of you. I'm probably going to be subscribing to one of your premium tiers on Patreon.
I appreciate the gesture (although CZcams funnily does notify me). I just hope this won't affect your revenue that much. Also personally I love your sponsors because you at least have fun seaways.

I don’t have ad block on. Mostly because the sponsors still happen.
This is radical, in every sense of the word. _I love it._
Absolute bro move. Love you man! Keep up the good work!

I check for your videos, it’s a better day when one drops
been a fan since the old Crossover game theory days! glad you are making this big step! love ya drake!
Yeah, CZcams's notifications can be kinda wonly at times.
Nice to see the chair again
I love your content and will support!
I am glad theres ads still, gotta keep our homeboy Drake in comics and cereal
That would have been the perfect time to say “All my videos are going to be 100%… thanks to Raid Shadow Legends!”
I use adblockers because more often than not i have to stop everything i do (like when taking a shower or something) to skip a 15 minutes ad (even sometimes full 2 hours conferences as an ad), and i don't talk about how much ad are unskippables now. When half of your experience on a 15 min video is watching ads this is an issue, not a feature.
Sponsoring is great and a good middle ground i think, since you can at least choose who you work for.
Honestly this is a really interesting experiment, I’ve never seen another youtuber try this before. Really hope it goes well!
Good idea man
Really keen for more videos from you I think it’s the right move
i see this as an absolute win
I have never seen your videos before. But my respect for you is enormous.
Comic Drake just venting his trauma of the 3000 skillshare segways he has heard in his life.
Literally never had this problem
I get notified all the time when you upload. You don't disappoint
Thanks Comic Drake
The last I saw, other that this one, was the most hated spiderman comic from about 3 months ago
I mean, I'm sticking to here where I do use the subscription tab and pay for premium. But this move is dope as all hell, you rock my man.
this is the right way to do a "transition"
You dropped this 👑. Such a gigachad move
You are a great content creator and you are great in general
I really hope it all works out for you 🙏
this is your first video youtube has shown to me in years
I like the Roxas necklace
That microphone is amazing.
Well most of us don't use ad block anymore after youtube initiated that change that make vids buffer and lowers the resolution to like 240p lol.
Good luck Drake
It's shittt that youtube keeps screwing you. i love your channel. It always makes my day better when i find out that you have a new video out. ❤😅
This was the first time CZcams has recommended your video to me in a while.
Hope you will be doing this for a long time, I like you
10 years... wow I wasn't aware how much time has gone while watching your channel... but hey, hope we are here for 10 more!
Respect for Comic Drake!
Love your channel
Ay man just do whatever works best for your pocket. I'll watch anyway.
The algorithm is brutal, you just made it less brutal. Thank you!
Honestly, probably a wonder solution.
Anyone recall some other CZcamsrs also going completely no ad/sponsers at all?
CZcams did notify me of this video but not the Luna Snow one
Huh. It seems as though some subset of the social media environment is circling back to the old Internet. Personal sites, newsgroups, chatrooms and mailing lists.
I watch all your videos the hour they premiere. CZcams can't stop me
This is why I just check my subs by hand once every few weeks.
Personally use adblock, but also use CZcams Premium because CZcams is my main source of entertainment
The ONE video youtube notified me about😂
Absolutely hilarious that CZcams sent me a push notification for this video
i used adblock until youtube stopped working with it running. never had an issue with sponsored ads. my issue is when i'm watching a 5 min video and suddenly i'm hit with a 30 min ad (yes its skippable, but still)
this is fascinating and by far the most interesting and viable way a creator has "left the youtube ecosystem"
