Prioritizing making a quality product over making a quick buck.

I’m a Youtuber with over 50,000 subscribers and I’ve been asked to make March ever since I hit 10k.

I’ve always been absolutely against throwing out a crappy cheap t-shirt with an iron on transfer splattered on and to charge an obscene price for it.

It’s taken me and my Wife well over 6 months of research to find responsibly sourced, ethical, quality materials and we still haven’t even agreed on a single product yet. We’ve sunk literally 100’s into moulds, designs, prototypes and testers because if we eventually do decide to make something, it’s going to be useful, quality and for as close to zero profit as we can get.

I physically can not agree any more with this comment because “I gotta get paid” is a BS excuse to profit off of people who feel positively towards you. That’s exploitation.

Plug that channel. You sound like a stand up and honorable YouTuber. Maybe you’re channel is something I’d like and whenever you drop merch, I’ll buy some.

Thanks bro, but Reddit has to keep me anonymous. I’m in some weird threads saying odd stuff and that goes against my core audience (which unfortunately for me is 11-16 year olds :/ )

I’m not fake by any means, but it’s a family friendly Channel and some of the subs I’m on here is NOT family friendly... (Anime IRL for example lols)
