<> here at Total Drama, so it was concerning to us that he asked for donations given that Soup said they would redirect RSS feeds and provide other assistance. We felt this might lead to Leo Laporte getting money off the top of Chad and Dick’s donations.
Thankfully, today we learn this is not the case, and we encourage you to check out the Giz Wiz Patreon campaign and donate if you enjoy The Giz Wiz hosted by Chad Johnson.
@LarryPrettion TWiT will get no money from the Patreon. Going indepdendent was my idea, not TWiTs!

@LarryPrettion They are letting us take over the feeds but I dont know what technical assistance they are providing us…?

@LarryPrettion I setup the Patreon and am setting up the podcast myself. We’re independent! Not dependent!

Good luck, Chad! Let us know if you’d like us to host your IRC chat!
I still can’t believe anyone is giving this loser any money on Patreon. I noticed today that his contributions are back up to nearly $1600/month……so he can do…….I still don’t know…..whatever comes next? What the hell does that mean.
When is this punk going to grow some? The Giz Wiz Patreon campaign is where people should be putting their money, not directly to some loser who doesn’t know what to do. At least the Giz Wiz campaign is directed as something of substance.
If anything he should have linked the two together, but nope. Separate, one for him, the other for a real show.
Those who contribute to OMGChad are simply subsidizing his living expenses, not investing in anything worthwhile. Take your money from him and put it towards the Giz Wiz instead.

Not to mention attending various PAX shows, to promote the OMGChad brand I’m sure.

He’s getting $1600/month in Patreon for doing diddly squat? Maybe he did learn some lessons from Leo after all….

Hopefully those are inflated numbers, expired credit cards or small monthly maximum ceiling limits set, that’s insane. Chad’s a nice guy but he’s not a video personality, except maybe in small doses like his role on GameOn.

Isn’t he pretty popular on twitch? I’m sure that’s where most of his donations come from. They’re supporting his gaming/minecraft videos/streams.

Just so I could say I made an effort to check out what Chad is doing, I tried watching his ‘Chad on the Street’ video on YouTube……..got through about 20 seconds before I got bored. People actually watch this guy? What an idiot. Mike Elgan has a more comfortable to watch on-air personality.
I’ve seen other videos of Chad and it doesn’t get much better. He so relies on others to support him, it’s not even close to funny, it’s sad really. Why he has so many views is really a statement on today’s idiot audience who’ll watch anything. Now that’s sad.

I understand the twitch thing, at least then you are watching gameplay and not him as the main attraction, but does anyone over the age of 12 play minecraft and would watch that? and how do 12 year olds have credit cards?

Sad lonely girls give him money too.

They didn’t get the memo about Chad being a twink?

Rumor has it that Chad and Lamarr Wilson are going to team up for a new show called This Week in TWiT. They’ll basically just read Total Drama and talk shit about Leo. After looking at both their YouTube channels, they’re both disparatley in need of both views and content, so it seems like this one might really be happening.

I doubt it. Chad has 260k subscribers and Lamar is a great youtuber also , whereas TWIT gets 300 views per show lol

There must be something seriously wrong with you if you really believe Lamarr is a ‘great YouTuber’. My guess is ‘heheheh’ is actually Lamrr Wilson…

They just passed $2k a month and the show hasn’t even aired yet lol… I wonder if Leo is having second thoughts about letting them go
