Loot Crate lasted longer than I thought it would. Why would you willingly spent 40+ American dollars on a bunch of random shit from media you know nothing about when you can just buy merchandise of a series you actually like
Matthew Williams
Because they were NPCs who fall for tends and happily throw away money to feel like they fit in.

I'm looking at you SkillShare. You're next.
Jason Torres
Everything you got in those was cheap garbage akin to leftover free swag shirts and hats like you'd get at conventions or cheap party store trinkets like in a child's birthday goodie bag. And of course Funko Pop cancer. It was a complete joke. Just look up Ashens on YouTube, he used to do unboxings of these all the time to take the piss out of the junk that came in them. I can only recall one time where I saw it came with a cool Star Wars action figure that I would have been happy to get, the rest was never worth a cent.
Jose Hernandez
A decent sized channel could easily make multiple thousands of dollars from a single, 5 minute unboxing video that took a zero effort to create.
It's easy to insult them when you're probably a neet who's never paid his own bills when you need food it's hard to turn down such a great deal.
Isaac Nguyen
the problem with skillshare is that youtube is skillshare but free
Daniel Russell
All of the internet is arguably skillshare but free

Thank god.
I have a friend that sends me one of these for my birthday every year. I appreciate the gesture but they're full of absolute SHIT and I don't know what to do with any of it.
Jacob Williams
I actually thought this company died years ago lmao
Christian Ortiz
oh man I keep forgetting that ashens exists
Owen Campbell
Wow I assumed they had died years ago.
Joseph Hernandez
I love the idea of gambling a tiny amount of money for some neat material things, but lootcrate was just horrible. Literally every lootcrate video I've ever seen was just a shitty crossover t shirt, some stickers, and plastic toys. Only an onions lord would want one
The ones I really don't understand are Honey and Grammarly. Both are very pointless services that own almost all of the youtube advertisements
Hunter Johnson
Imagine being so butthurt at some shitty box subscription service's failure that you try to spin them going out of business as some sort of triumph
>ha ha well the company may have failed but it's not like the owners went to jail so really they're the next Warren Buffett!
Ayden Lewis
Ethan Miller
At least Nerd Box is still okay.
Leo Diaz
The only obvious benefit would SkillShare it is curated and updated.
Levi Barnes
Not surprised, Ashens was laughing how he would get a lootcrate and would find alot of the contents at 99p stores a week later.
Hell I have multiple lootcrate exclusive tshirts Ive found at thrift stores for like 2 bucks a piece.
Ryder Thomas
How the fuck they didn't go bankrupt after the defective EPIC Thanos oven mitt controversy is beyond me.
Samuel Richardson
The only "lootboxes" that seem worth it are the snack based ones, especially if you arent a picky person they can be an okay way to find new things you might like.
Christopher Hernandez
Maybe now the smelly neckbeards autistic enough to buy a LootCrate subscription will switch to Dollar Shave Club.
Mason Hughes
Holy shit I completely forgot about that, what a fucking disaster. How hard is it to make a fucking oven mitt.
Angel James
>saying someone made bank implies "tHeYrE tHe neXT wARerERnenn BuuuuuuufFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFETTTT????????"

Jaxson King
I'd rather go to the dollar store. Go to the candy/snacks isle and just randomly grab a bag of shit with my eyes closed. Same result, much cheaper.
Elijah Anderson
This AIDS is responsible for Funko Pops becoming popular. They started out as just being a part of these every month and quickly became the thing the onions guzzling redditors that would buy this kind of trash liked best about it, and thus started selling like crazy on their own.
Robert Diaz
That became an recurring joke for his channel for a while, then Lootcrate sent him a whole box of inflatable crowns with a troll face picture on top.
It's like they have no self awareness.
Sebastian Lopez
Ehhh, might be better of at an asian grocery store or something to that effect.
Jaxon Cox
>made bank
>company couldn't cover its own debts, let alone break even
lmao, you actually think a literal failed business, in bankruptcy with its remaining assets to be liquidated to provide its creditors with however many cents on the dollar they can get, is a success just because the owners aren't personally liable for its debts?
Trust me, it's better to run a business that makes a profit.
Jeremiah Brooks
oh man that I never saw
His latest video about ordering pc parts from wish.com and putting it together was pretty great
Michael Wilson
They defaulted on a 21m debt, and then some. Highly indicative of not making nearly enough to be actually profitable.
I suspect they didn't have the starting capital to make this venture work in the first place, since it probably would have worked had it not all been based on loans.
Gavin Sanchez
it's sad really
are scam sites really the only option youtubers have if they don't want make completely sanitized content for youtube ads?
Christian Nelson
this is absolutely 100% the case. had an old roommate that got the first 3 months free, fastforward 5 years and he's an avid collector of those funko shits. I can only imagine how many other people bought into that shit, and how many people those people told.
fuck i hate funko pops
Brayden Parker
I'm gonna go binge like I always do whenever I remeber ashens. Thanks user
Nathaniel Allen
There's only really a handful of Pops that have good sculpting and doesn't look like nightmare fuel. They're not cute to collect like Beanie Babies and also feel cheaper than Amiibo.

The name alone is clearly meant to target niggers. No self respecting white/Asian/Latino/etc man should ever associate himself with a company literally named from blackspeak.

Colton Collins

Nathan Gonzalez
Do you understand how bankruptcy works? If they own the distribution buildings, they'll be sold off to raise capital to pay back their debts as much as possible, so yes, they will lose them.

Aiden Walker
yeah that dude was fucked
Evan Jones
I know two people who got free trials of it but never paid for it past that because they realized it was shit by then.
Yes. Typically spoken by black women about their boyfriend/husband ie "I made dinner for hims" or "Hims best not be still on that couch when I get back or lawd help me" etc. There are a lot of words like this in blackspeak that inexplicably end in "s" when not plural.

Just find a gachapon machine or mystery toy packs
Joseph Williams
>it was SUPPOSED to be the same exact thing again you neckbeard manchildren, what else were you expecting and how can you possibly complain about it?!
Liam Williams
My socially inept younger cousin has a lot of black friends, and I heard him say "mines" once and almost lost my fucking shit. It's like hearing them say "aks" instead of "ask."
I can't fathom the rationality speaking like this besides "MUH CULTURE," but even that's a stretch. Like most other shit they probably just do it to piss white people off. Fucking hell, just thinking about it makes me want to puke.
Jeremiah Jones

People like surprises. I'm amazed it failed, nerd culture bullshit was on the rise forever and I'm sure they were making huge profit margins on them.
Granted I'm sure so few people wanted to subscribe to them forever. Wanting to buy a monthly box of trash could easily have you overflowing with bullshit quickly.
Jason Parker

Never heard of Honey. Grammarly I can guarantee is actually fucking good. I'm using it right now, it's pretty sweet.
Juan Long
The finer points of the English language are rather easy to learn if you're a native speaker. Spending a few hours reading this website
thepunctuationguide.com
seems like a much better investment than purchasing software to apply the same rules for you. Such a service would also be useless for any experimental form of writing
Bentley Morales
It's a decent idea.
Extremely poorly executed.
The premise of the entire business is "Do you like this particular hobby, well we'll curate merchandise and paraphernalia of your interest into an organized case for a cheap cost."
But they lost focus. Instead of focusing on time and effort being the trade-off for the buyer they focused on getting cheap shit on the dollar.

How long until all these other companies that have based their businesses on this same model go under? There are literally dozens, including clothing ones like Style Butler where they send you a complete outfit every month to food ones like Hello Fresh where you get different recipes and ingredients to make various random meals every month.
Matthew Wood

Jeremiah Thomas
I have a feeling the clothing and food ones will stay in business longer than that literal garbage-senders

That same logic can be applied to any business where you could simply do it yourself.
Why buy a burger at a restaurant when I buy the bread, meat, cheat, etc for cheaper and better quality.
People are just lazy.
Nolan Watson
If you got it on a 50% off sale, it's not a bad deal considering you're guaranteed 12 shirts out of it.
I knew they were having issues months ago when a load of merch was getting delayed, etc. and also when the earlier months this year had great loot for once, they clearly brought it all forwards together.
>Get a year's worth of Lootcrate when it was cheap
>Silent Hill coasters
>Metal Sonic statue
>Nuka-Cola Power Armour
>Sonic Mania glass bottle
>Dragonborn Helmet figure
>SMW coasters
>Earthworm Jim lunchbox
>USS Normandy lunch box
Out of an entire year, besides one or two great shirts like a Conker one, that was all that was notable.
Grayson Wilson
I can see the ones that give you foreign food every month staying in business for a while since the stuff they offer either can't be found easily or you would have to pay a huge amount in shipping just to get one thing you may or may not like.

my cousin got them monthly for maybe half a year, and anything she didn't want she would give to me. there were maybe 2 things out of the whole bunch that I actually liked. I know one of them was an Attack on Titan keychain, but regardless it was pretty much ALL SHIT. nothing of value was lost
Jeremiah Bell
A scam in the sense of the business is making way too much fucking money for something so basic.
Buy a packet of good blades for $30.
Buy a quality straight razor $50.
You know have a quality item that will last you a long ass time and be way cheaper than DSC.
Luis Reyes

Parker Peterson
>It's a decent idea.

Lincoln Long
I kind of feel sorry for the people who signed up for the Star Trek Loot Crates. They were constantly going on about how the boxes would never show up and then say "Oh well, maybe next month will be different". I can't imagine wasting that much money on a monthly service that never delivers.
Sebastian Walker
everytime I see someone open a loot crate I instinctively want to toss everything that comes out into the trash
imagine paying $25 a month to have garbage shipped to your house
Elijah Rodriguez
Because it was novel and some people like surprises. It could even be a cute gift idea.
However most people hate bullshit which is why is failed.

Caleb Cooper
it's not a black thing you dumbfucks, have you never heard of anything called "for her" and "for him"? there's a shitload of products that make this kind of shit you're supposed to buy in a package for a couple, one version of the thing for the guy and one for the girl. it's just a play on that fairly common practice thing that you probably didn't know about because you've never needed to buy anything for you and a girlfriend before. not everything is a race thing
Carson Campbell
put lunch in it?
Sebastian Martinez
When you see what they put in the box it's pretty apparent they just buy large amounts of low cost novelty goods and maybe one or two things actually worth a damn. If they let people order items individually then they would only ever sell the good shit, while the low cost novelty items (with the highest profit margins no doubt) just sit in the warehouse.
Blake Cruz
It's supposed to invoke the sort of feeling you get as a kid unwrapping an unknown Birthday present. Only issue is that each month they gave similar cheap garbage. It was basically a matter of wondering which onions film they'll give you a funko of next month
Matthew Garcia
Will this affect barkbox?
Parker Bennett
Now if only the digital counterpart would disappear too.

HIs grammar wasn't that bad. Comma splices are common and the lack of punctuation in the second sentence conveys a stream of consciousness sort of feel

Brayden Nguyen
But as a kid you made a list and gave it to your parents and they got stuff on the list or stuff you liked
Jayden Gomez
Not surprising. They were mostly just shilled by Youtube streamers so they could easily make an unboxing video that people would watch . But now all the streamers are just buying random junk off of Wish since it's cheaper and has more variety.
And the people who subscribed to the service just because they wanted random stuff just got tired of getting stuff they weren't interested in or was crap quality.
Gabriel Perry
Epic, dude. How long were you waiting to shill this gay shit.

Jaxon Jackson
Lot of disinformation in this thread, so I will mass reply to you all. Bankruptcy is when an entity decalres they cannot meet their debt repayments and they sell off their assets. It entirely depends on whether they are a limited company, liable company or individual as people can go bankrupt too.
In Loot Crate's case, it will likely be a limited company, meaning you will get the company going down the drain, it will owe all the debts, not the employees or the owners (no, employees do not give back their cash, although this was likely sarcasm).
If the owners ae personally liable, which is a way to secure cheap loans, by saying you will cover the first 100K in debt if it goes bankrupt, then they will have to pay personally, but thsi is only the CEO or some directors.
HOWEVER...
You can make bank whilst a company fails. It probably made more than enough to keep going and the execs likely just took huge bonuses until the company was left with barely enough to keep the lights on. You can indeed have serious treasure coming through the door and misappropriate the funds so badly that you still declare bankruptcy.
Then, if you have 1 million in debt, you may pay off 300K or so and the rest is forgiven by the bank you owe money too. You only are forgiven on the proviso that ALL assests become the banks, not fair split, and the IP, all future property and profits, all land or company cars or buildings all go to the bank.

>we'll curate merchandise and paraphernalia of your interest
That's the thing, it's not specific enough. If it were just a loot box of specific shit you cared about it'd make more sense. Like a loot box of anime merch would be cool to me.
But no, the box could include anything from TV shows, movies, anime, video games, cartoons, books, comic books etc. So it's very unlikely that anyone is well-versed in all of this which means that it's more likely they'll get shit that they don't want or even care about.

They likely don't.
I imagine that most of the people who order these boxes just want to show that they're a fan of videogames, anime, comics, etc... so it doesn't matter that they don't know the specific series it's from since they can just add it to their collection and show off how much of a they are.
Or they're just a Youtuber that orders it so they can make an easy unboxing video.

Alright, Yea Forums, what would YOUR winning idea be for a monthly loot box?
Mine would be an original card game like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. Each month or week or something, whomever is subscribed gets a pack of random however many cards. Certain commons, rare, etc.
The thing is, the people that miss out on months might miss out on certain cards or whatever and they will instantly become worth a bazillion dollars.
Genius.

That's different though, you don't do much prose acrobatics in a thesis, at least nowhere near as much as when you're writing something that is mainly conveying emotion.

Fastest way to spot a poor: they think a company going bankrupt is bad.
Companies are made and unmade all the time, they mean nothing, if it already made you money and now is going into the negative, just end it. People have dozens of companies, why would one closing down be a big issue?
The aim of a company is to make money, not last long. If it made you money, it did what it needed to do. Also, a successful attempt at breaking into a certain market will net you hundreds of times more revenue than a failed attempt costs, so making a new company to try and then closing it down a year later if it didn't pan out is a non issue.

Sorry guys I was super busy so I will answer what I can now. I don't know about the Donald's specific business interests, but if you mean his tax returns, that is a bit different.
He essentially doesn't spend all the money and drive it into the dust, but what he does is write off his money as loss.
Every mile he drove in a comapny car got the cost of the gas taken off his tax bill, every time there was money left over, it got spent on new PCs and stationary. Every chance you get to submit a receipt, you submit it. Even if that means big performance bonuses or employee benefits (I am British so I don't know about NY state law, but here you can give your employees phones and you get to write them off your taxes).
He isn't actually spending money like its going out of fashion, he is just submitted anything that is called an expense against his profits. There are even more clever ways of doing this than just finding what is a technical loss, such as charitibale contributions and paying himself a dollar a year but owning 51% of the business and getting paid a dividend (a low tax cut of profits given to shareholders for having investign in a company, rather than owners or employees who keep it running).
If you ever start your own business, look into making it a private limited company and giving yourself 100% of the shares. You can get a cut of the end of year profits as a bonus which (in the UK) have a flat rate of 10% income tax on them. You can pay yourself a shit salary and bouy it up with bonuses in many clever ways that pay less tax.
Cheers lads, glad I could help.

Ethan Gonzalez

Camden Perry
It probably was a big deal during his 2016 run, however you have to look at the utter failure he ran against.
Trump having scummy business practices doesn't equate with Hillary having multiple assassinations and years of foreign policy disasters under her belt. And he was (somehow) running as a working class anti-corporate while Hillary openly ran as a corporate shill while also supporting open borders. Her entire campaign was just a mismanaged disaster.

Also, ask any business owner who is remotely successful if they think Trump is a shitty businessman and they will say no. Every businessman knows that failure is part of the life of a businessman, and it is no sign of a poor character or ability. The fact he is still a billionaire is astounding.

Now hold the phone. I actually also work for a bankruptcy law firm, as it happens. What makes you say that they "probably made enough money to keep going?" This just seems like a huge amount of speculation. And also, if you DID work for a bankruptcy law firm, you'd know that this kind of behavior can get you totally fucked. If you make preferential payments before filing bankruptcy (this includes to yourself from company funds) the trustee can absolutely make you pay it back.
>You can indeed have serious treasure coming through the door and misappropriate the funds so badly that you still declare bankruptcy.
I mean, yeah, it's possible. But that's the reason you have to submit bank statements for months back and stuff in a bankruptcy. You can't give yourself a huge bonus, declare bankruptcy and just walk away scott free. You will get absolutely turbo fucked by the courts.

Just because you like things that are considered nerdy or pop culture doesn't mean you like EVERYTHING that falls into that category.
I never understood the rational behind lootcrate. The chances of you getting things you have no interest in are astronomically high. Some of the spin off specialized crates that are just about a specific theme, like games or anime, make more sense. But even then, you approach a similar problem where just because you like certain games doesn't mean you like ALL OF THEM.
It's like the lottery. You'd be infinitely better just taking that money and buying something you know you want.
Kayden Garcia
I have this oven mitt. It could be better insulated, I wouldn't hold it for too long, but I've had it for a while and it has yet to fall apart or injure me. Used it in temperatures up to 450°F. Surprised this dude didn't sue.

Hudson James
>I never understood the rational behind lootcrate.
It was pretty simple. Lootcrate essentially buys a bunch of stupid merch that isn't selling well at a reduced price (like Star Wars socks or whatever) and bundles them together with other similar-themed things to trick nerds into buying it. You can have a "space-themed" pack with like, Star Trek trading cards and shit
Thing is, people kinda wised up to lootcrate's shit fast. Even a friend of mine that liked it for a while stopped when he realized he threw away 80% of the crates
Jaxon Morales
The shit wasn't even similarly themed, one of the problems with lootcrate is you'd get like a king kong piece of shit with a gremlins toy in the same box.
Ethan Reyes
Well, themeing was a thing early on (at least I think so, I never actually bought a lootcrate) but I'm not surprised they dropped it later. The point was ultimately to sell worthless shit to people after all.

Why would anyone want to fill their house with plastic crap they will never use? The shirts is all I ever hear people talk about, but you can get graphic tees online (and not have to guess as to the design) for a couple bucks. Bulk shirts like Hanes (which are extremely comfortable and I wear nearly every day) are even cheaper. Everything else you just wouldn't even use once.

Holy fucking shit do you not understand what not having a tax liability means?
Time for some boring ass tax talk.
You know that "deductions" thing that people occasionally talk about? It basically means "I spent some part of my income on some approved thing/business expenses, so I should owe that much less on my taxes."
You add up enough shit like that and it means you don't owe any taxes, aka not having a tax liability, which some retards interpret as "not paying taxes".
Normal people take what's called a "standard deduction" of $12,000 instead of having to itemize all their deductions (which would probably add up to less than that anyways)
Cameron Sanchez
How did they got bankrupted? their entire thing wasn't just selling excess stock at a premium for gullible people?

They were made for a specific sort of basic nerd, the kind watches every capeshit movie and loves Ready Player One and follows Wil Wheaton on twitter.

The review itself isn't very good and it is definitely obvious they fucked up. At least they changed their opinions later. They're still Hack-Frauds though.

>People can't lie
Maybe that's why he doesn't want to release his taxes, because he probably isn't a billionaire.

BUT WHO WILL SUPPORT MY FAVORITE YOUTUBERS NOW????
Evan Gray
I always love going to a video that I'm specifically watching to learn a skill, and then having a skillshare ad. Part of me wants to try their free trail just for ideas of subjects to learn next and then utilize youtube for those subjects.
Tyler Wilson
Why did you let this die? I thought you gamers loved nerd culture.
Jeremiah Ward
Youtubers will finally stop pestering me with it
Nathan Collins
why would anyone support this on the first place?
Wyatt Scott
Is it too much soul if you spell something wrong, but the letter that's wrnng wasn't adjacent to the correct letter?
Adrian Hernandez
Microsoft word has a spell check, you know.
Dylan Cruz
clearly no one actually did
Jackson Edwards
why the fuck did nerd "culture" start meaning to eat up corporate slop?
Logan Gomez
it was a pretty clever way to sell all the excess inventory from gamestop no one wanted
Juan Murphy
>Skillshare
>No aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, physics, stats or other science classes
>It's mostly programming
Huh, I guess there's always Great Courses or whatever that's called.
Adam Hernandez
No, I'm agreeing with user here. Are you literally 14? I don't mean that offensively, I'm genuinely curious and won't report you if you are. This is...really not funny...like, not even in the slightest. My little sister who's 8 years old watches this kind of stuff and laughs, but she's also at the age where Steven Universe Youtube Poops are so hilarious that she vomits from laughter.
Pretty disappointed. I wanted to see someone die.
David Ortiz
Marvel movies and the big bang theory
Jackson Wright
You buy them from alibaba at $0.01/piece
Sebastian Thompson
Damn
How will I get poor quality merch for characters I'm not interested in now?
Liam Mitchell
was 07 truly the beginning of the end?
Angel Jones
BBT came out in 2007, Iron Man and The Dark Knight came out in 2008
Austin Russell
>Dislike Funkos
>See a Blue-Eyes White Dragon shirt that comes with a Blue-Eyes Funko
>Buy it
It honestly feels wrong, but the shirt looks nice and pleases my Yu-Gi-Oh autism.
Kayden Davis
Shoutouts to best boy.
John King
and? how does that change what I just said?
Ian Lewis
Post shirt
Gabriel Cooper
couldn't you just bought the shirt online?
Carson Brooks
it depends on which one you consider the true beginning. Did BBT blow up because of the two superhero movies, or did the two superhero movies blow up because of BBT? Or was there just some general nerd zeitgeist waiting under the surface to ooze out like the Blob?
Nicholas Wood
I thought it was a chibi Blue Eyes shirt, then I saw it came with the Funko.
Connor Richardson
>a service that sends you boxes monthly
>99% of them are geeky shit that people aren’t buying that’s clogging space in a UHAUL storage bin and need to get rid of fast
>going out of business
Gee, I wonder why. Also, some vendors at (insert anime convention here) do this too.
Evan Russell
In your defense, the inhuman funkos look say better than the regular funkos.
Ryder Ross
I'm subscribed for a pair a month and absolutely love them. I'll probably unsub after like 10 pairs
Nolan Price
>Peppa Pig nearby Shin-chan and Chibi Maruko
This feels unsettling
Alexander King
Nice shirt, would wear.
Easton Martin
>all these stickers
>in Goyman
>that face
Someone send this guy into a predominantly muslim neighborhood.
Lucas Cook
It's always weird when you wake up and the thread from last night is still alive, especially on this board
I meant the other definition of party
