you changed my life, again...

It's been a year since we started this grand experiment, and I wanted to reflect on how Patreon has fundamentally changed the way we approach content.
I think it's been a massive success, but I want to take you along that journey with me to understand how radical it truly has been.
<3
Copying the comment I made on your YouTube upload, as it is what made me become a subcriber: Coffee you donut! I wish you had been much more vocal earlier about having a Patreon so I could have contributed earlier.

Great job with the stories and videos! I am a patreon subscriber from almost the beginning of your patreon and it has been totally worth it! I support you mainly for your investigations, so I do not mind waiting for videos, because I support you also out of principal - I have an experience that many, if not most of, cases of illegal activities are investigated by the authorities only after attention of public and/or press. I don't have nearly enough time in my life to recognize and give an attention to wrongdoings around and bring them to justice, so people like you - reliable investigative reporters - are so much needed. Thank you for all you are doing.

I saw ads for it long before I even knew Coffeezilla existed, and I was tempted to get it but ultimately didn’t.
It sucks that it’s really hard to do research on these products because a good majority of the reviews don’t want to outright call it a scam, or they’re fake news articles that are basically just ads.

BTW, you saved me from getting a course with the high ticket closing master - The Sifu. I seriously considered getting a course until I watched your vid.
I recall following your engaging 100-day video challenge, shaving your head, and even the interview you did with your former arch-nemesis, Graham Stephen. And let's not forget that epic one-on-one showdown with the infamous fake guru.
Keep at it! Lonnnnng time fan!

Of course! Your videos on Techlead and Tai Lopez back in the day hooked me to your channel.
I'm sure it'll be relaxing after long projects as well to let loose. Thank you for the content you have made thus far btw!

Coffee, sad to say I’ve only discovered you this year, but it’s been a trip. I’m a geophysicist turned data scientist, now heading to law school in part because of your inspiring investigative research. I hope one day to help bring justice to scammers like the ones you’ve exposed. Thanks for your incredible work!

Fwiw, there's nothing wrong with the 'fake guru'/news commentator videos either.
Super funny to watch you roast these phonies while I'm taking a lunch break. Feel free to also take a break from the hardcore investigations and have a little fun too if you need it.

Coffee you’re the man (boomer speak for love you bruh)! You have a great mission and an interesting presentation. And your graphic artist - wow! The wannabe sidekick/devil’s advocate/robot/bartender-barista is a genius literary move. Lastly but not leastly; (I know - grammar!) the overall theme and ambiance leaves me wanting more episodes.

Been here ever since you've started your Patreon page and the video reminded me of the "exclusive mug" you've set as your donation goal. Is that project completely scrapped? Not demanding you to bring that back, but I would be happy to buy myself one if you ever put them up for sale!

Would be good to see a balance of those "short" yet entertaining videos, especially the ones of you roasting fake gurus in combination with those deep investigations. I know its a lot of time commitment and changes the financial model of your videos but would be good to see if you could do both kind of content

As someone who donates a lot, hearing what the money allows you to do is the reward in itself. Something like “$50 p/m allows us to use ___ software meaning we can do ___ effects” or “$$$ is one extra hour of special effects work”

As soon as I saw you launched your Patreon I was onboard. Your mission is so valuable to so many that I felt it worthwhile.

You’re killing it Coffee! What about something on pig butchering? That’s a $billion scam… (maybe cooperate with someone from China?)
David Zetland
2023-12-12 19:50:43 +0000 UTC
Yes. This is 21st century investigative journalism.
The scammers are always among us, but the scam tech is evolving, so the IJs need to as well.
I love the CGI and coffee’s charm, but I’m here for the facts and data and gotchas.

The future depends on citizen’s support to channels, information and journalism. We need to support this type of work and guarantee that real good truthful news continues to exist. You deserve it Coffe! Chapeau 🎩 l’artiste!

I still really liked the news stuff you did before even if you didn't like making it that much (though obviously the new stuff is really good as well). Didn't even know the youtube video part about the patreon; I found out through reddit. You've done a lot of good shit this year, cheers

Thank you for this update! I found your videos in late 2021 and have followed you since. When you first mentioned Patreon I admit to be sceptical. Not because of you but because so many that have asked followers for money don't follow through. However, your determination, good character and consistency convinced me to join your Patreon. I don't give money away freely especially during rough economical times like now. You showed through hard work and determination that you want this and that says a lot. I enjoy the content of your videos especially the videos of non-celebrities. I will continue to follow your videos because your content is top notch. Thank you for following through with what you promised.
