I don't see immediately what extra content you could provide. What you do, sharing the life and emotions of a stage-4 cancer patient, is already very instructive. I personally don't have the financial strength to pay for more
No. What exactly would be be paying for? A reply or a heart emoji for a change? You've never found us worthy of that. Just take care of yourself. You've got enough on your plate. Best of luck with the new immunotherapy.
I would put 1000% of my efforts on getting out of this cancer situation alive and better than before. More content would equal more trolls too possibly. Just my opinion
Well, I believe one of the main reasons he’s thinking about doing the memberships to begin with, is for financial support which is part of his overall wellbeing. Trolls are going to be there you’re right, but he can’t let trolls control what he does with his own channel..right?!
@Jessicavargas-ig1zm are you gunna buy a membership? So your money along with our money can financially support his channel??? I think maybe you should send a donation to his TH-cam that way he don't have to go thru all the headaches of a membership
Isn’t focusing on his health also finding ways to financially support himself, since he can’t work and he’s living on a fixed income?! I understand focusing on his health and less about running his social media is important and the ideal situation, however, it’s also important that he can pay his bills and purchase the things he needs, including paying for transportation to get him back and forth to his medical appointments. There will be those that can pay for a membership and those that can’t. Hopefully he doesn’t make it to where he turns his entire channel into a membership only, because I’m not sure that would work in his best.
I am not sure what resources are available to patients in Canada. Can he get assistance for transportation costs to the hospital and back? In some countries this is possible.
Personally , am not into memberships. I dont even have time to watch all videos of channels I sub too. Also , I wonder how you will cope given your heath status and treatments. Moreover, you have no idea how things will go and how you will be coping going fwd. If you dont feel up to posting often, you may feel bad . Membership is a long term commitment.
Not the best way to spend your time. Focus on you, your health, your wife, inner peace and serenity. Take care of yourself. Ps: I do not subscribe to any membership.
Your cancer battle needs all your attention. I feel you should have a free and easy approach. Just upload when you are able. As for the Haters, let us just ignore them. Delete and block if you can but don’t stress yourself out.
Respectfully, if you had stage 4 cancer, no job and were living completely alone on a fixed income, would you be able to focus all of your attention on your cancer battle?! He has no vehicle so he has to pay for transportation to all of his medical appointments, he’s living alone so no one his helping to pay for his expenses other than himself. I’m in the US but im pretty sure Canada is dealing with inflation and the ridiculous increase in cost of living as well. I think he’s trying to combat trolls who are discouraging people that donate to his go fund me not too because he’s “faking”, and it’s effecting his overall mental health. I thinks trying to find ways to combat these Trolls and by creating memberships in his mind may help the situation 🤷🏽♀️
@ I am not in his situation so I won’t pretend to understand what it is like. But it is apparent to anyone watching that some days are a struggle for him, just to do simple everyday activities. He started out uploading everyday and replying to all comments. Now he doesn’t even read all comments. I know the Trolls are part of the reason but he is not as energetic as he was a year ago. Why take on extra work? If it is for the money, he has his Go Fund Me. Those who want to donate have an avenue. Anyway, from the comments it appears very few are supportive of the Membership proposal.
@ Right and I’ve never been in his situation either, and I’m aware that his health and energy level have greatly decreased over the last few months. I guess my point was this, not everyone has the “luxury” of spending their last days in peace, especially when he is living alone, there is no one to help prepare his meals, or to go to the grocery store for him, it’s all rather sad. He’s clearly worried about his financial situation and regardless of how sick he is, no one is helping him pay his bills, other than the donations he’s received through his Go Fund me, and the money gets from the state. So while I agree that he shouldn’t have to be worried about social media and memberships, it allows him to supplement his income very limited income. Bills don’t care if you’re dying from cancer 🤷🏽♀️
@ Ok I get where you are coming from and I agree about some having to worry about bills although they are very ill. But anyway, the idea has been voted out by most of his subs so hopefully he finds some other way.
@ Yea I went through the comments to see what the “consensus” was, and it looks like no one else thought it was a good idea either. I personally commented that I personally wouldn’t be interested in memberships at this time, mainly because I have 12 year old son that I support completely on my own without any assistance whatsoever. I have donated to his go fund me though when I was able to, I just can’t make a membership commitment. Anyways thanks for your response, I think for the most part we all want the best for him..
And another thing I would say is, you don't even interact with us on this TH-cam channel not even a heart or anything, kinda sucks but I've learned to adapt. You stated so many times it's cuz of the "trolls" or that you don't have enough energy. Now if you want to make a membership we would EXPECT you to interact with us but you say you don't have the energy for it so it's just my thought in addition to what I wrote earlier,
I would prefer things stay like this . I don't think your channel is big enough, you might not get much response but will still have to put in a lot of extra work to be fair to your members. Judging from other comments, it does not seem popular anyway.
Not a great idea. Concentrate on your health and getting yourself stronger. Membership I feel is a little elitist and those that can’t afford it may feel badly.
Honey. All I'm interested in, is you needing rest. Looking after yourself. You look exhausted. Just do your normal daily video which I love. Please just look after you. ❤
@TheLastingTransformation ok cool are you the friend that r kicking the trolls? He calls them assholes lol but i appreciate u r bc he doesn't need that kind of energy in here. Only positive vibes.
Sounds like a good idea if your health allows it. That would be extra income. Personally , i just don't have the funds for that at this time. I will still watch you and continue to support and pray for you. It's your channel , so do what you think helps you.❤
@ I have sent G money through the gofundme. I don’t need memberships to support someone. I find that those with channels with memberships tend to forget those that choose not to participate. That’s why I leave.
You are going to be misunderstood ,which is going to add pressure on what you are doing. If you need more money then may be add links to your book collection
Personally, I am not interested in A membership, it’s no disrespect towards you, I support your channel in the way of watching all of your videos from start to finish, but financially now, living in the USA and with Trump now as president, inflation is about to skyrocket, and I have a 12 year old son that I am the sole financial provider. I wish you the best though ❤
I'm personally not interested but just know if you do this people will expect you to put out more frequent exclusive content to keep the membership worthwhile. Producing this extra content on top of your normal youtube channel vids might be to much for you given your health issues right now. I also understand though you need to pay the bills so good luck whatever your decision.
Keep going sweetie and continue being the child of God that you are your strength 🙏 is amazing to me ❣️ you are the most important thing no one else matters it's your fight 🙏
Hi Guillaume, I Watch all your videos with interest & would love to see you reunited with your wife & make a full recovery from the cancer. Unfortunately my personal finances are not good (I also don’t work due to ill health, so couldn’t commit to a monthly subscription. I also worry that if you set up a Patreon membership, it could be too much work for you in your current state. However, if you do wish to raise some extra funds, how about offering a cheap membership (say, 2 or 3 dollars a month), in return for a members only live stream once a month? If you attracted just 20 or 30 Patreon members, it would give you an extra 40 to 90 dollars per month, plus give you some regular quality interaction with people who genuinely want to get to know and support you. Plus, lives require no editing, so much less work & the content is largely dictated by questions asked by the members. I also think the best way to stick two fingers uk to the trolls is to read comments on your regular posts, but just ignore the haters (who only comment for attention !!) and interact a little with your regular followers, even if it’s just a 😊 or a ❤️ emoji. It shows appreciation for their support, and could contribute to your channel growing a bit more. I hope you made it to the end of my comments and want to send you lots of love & best wishes from the UK. A bientôt !
G, I think you need to totally concentrate on your health and not allow any extra stress issues like creating membership. I like your videos the way they are!! Keep strong and take care. Xx
I am very interested in seeing you beat cancer and be with your wife permanently but I hope you don't change to members only. I would rather donate to the go fund me. Please dont do the membership route.
Tbh in your condition right now I don't think you should. You seem stretched in your content and energy as is. It will be too much for you. Personally I have not spent any money on any TH-cam channel yet in the 20yrs or so I've been using it.
If TH-cam takes such a large percentage (9:40), then why don't you put your Paypal here, then it'd be much more that you receive from any donations. I don't know how much GFM takes.
Is it up to you... If you have nice and there is someone interested is great for you. Unfortunately, I cannot subscribe because I am not working due the breast cancer... Good luck with this new adventure, I think is nice to make yourself busy, and not focus your mind only on the bad things....😊
I think you should just stick to making the TH-cam videos for now, now if your health improves that's a different story cuz than you will be able to do all kinds of things. I don't want you to set your self up for failure I want you to succeed at this and right now I don't think it's the right time, but sending air hugs from Houston Texas ❤❤❤
No. Save that extra energy on your health. These videos are good enough and it seems like some days are already harder than others. Take care of yourself!! God bless!
1. Yes, create a membership. 2. Make some videos only for members. Maybe some of your most personal videos should be for members only. Or your outings. Also exclusive members only live stream. 3. Go from $1 - $20 a month for the different tiers . Congrats on your go fund me.
I posted that in the other videos, but did not get a reply: Hey G (or the friend of G that reads the comments), is there a paypal option for your gofund me? i dont have a creditcard because we dont use them here in germany that often. If yes please enable paypal there. much love from berlin
My friend mentioned this to me. Unfortunately, there are already people who think I'm a scammer. Asking people to donate directly to my PayPal seems a little "sketchy" and might cause more people to believe the trolls (that seems to be the word people prefer to use). I prefer to run everything through GoFundMe because it's an established fundraising website and people feel protected when donating via such a website. I understand your situation, but for the general health of this channel, I believe it's best to keep running things through GoFundMe. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏.
That would surely curb the issue with a-holes but I don't pay to see anyone's content. However, that said... I'd concentrate more on your health because (in my opinion) it's the most important issue at hand. The other stuff is just white noise. People need to ignore those a-holes. The ONLY reason they keep interacting is because they are getting "attention". EVERYONE needs to stop giving them attention!!
That's a good point that would actually make him look like he's right even though he is extremely wrong because these stalkers are crazy and extremely psychopathic.
I'll just ask that you prepare to have someone let us all know if you pass? Thats the kind and responsible thing to do. Today, you appear unkempt. When my husband was in the hospital, he had me visit and shave him, etc. Or his brother. I wish you had someone to truly look after you. However, we have no choice but to respect your wishes. Personally, I'm not interested in a membership. I will continue to pray for you and try to monitor your channel in whatever way. Peace and blessings ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For me, I'd be willing to assist some. In his situation, it is very hard to have predictable income, so a little from myself and others would help a lot. I'd be happy and very willing to do a Membership. It doesn't bother me much in donating on a periodic basis a little, and I wouldn't really care about any perks that G would provide. I'd just be happy to see him have a little extra money to assist him during his cancer journey. Because all of us know, now, that he can't work full-time, and it is stressful when you don't have enough money to make ends meet, especially without the ability to work at an hourly and paying job. If it was something like $3, $5, $10, $25 a month, then those would be pretty good ranges for people.
PS…. LOVE the thumb nail pose..Are you familiar with the Napoleon Dynamite movie? (If not, you should watch the comedic masterpiece) If you ARE familiar, your pose shouts, “Do you have anything more BILLOWY?” 😆🤣😂
I don't mean to insult you (I personally love random comments like this), but I absolutely HATE Napoleon Dynamite. If I had to pick a movie that I consider the worst movie ever made, it would be a tie between Napoleon Dynamite and Borat. Sorry. Just not my kind of movie. But I do appreciate the random comment 🙏.
I mean I think in one hand you should but on the other hand it probably might not be a good idea because when you are really on your off days rather physically mentally or both it's understandably so that you're not going to feel like like doing this on the consistent basis because it just takes a lot out of you and you will have to listen to your body. At the end of the day it's up to you and I'm still upset that go fund me still suspended your funds without hesitation when you have documented proof that you have cancer and there is one person I can think about in the back of my head that scammed people into giving her thousands of dollars that she lied and fabricated the event about but yet it took forever despite getting multiple people proving that she made up the story to get her funds suspended! That is so messed up! I am a Christian but rather you are or not a Christian we can all agree that this is messed up! 😢
I don’t think you would lose anybody if you did it like someone said. It’s not something that if you started having memberships that anyone would be forced to do. It’s not like people are gonna be missing out on a lot of extra content. I just thought personally that it would be Easy to do something like one of the channels that I have seen that has the option of one dollar per month. And depending on how many people have signed up to pay one dollar per month that would just help you raise a little bit more money. Also to be able to take care of everything you need to take care of. But I don’t know. I don’t know if everybody on here even understands the way memberships work becauseit wouldn’t make anyone unsubscribe from you. I wouldn’t think. That doesn’t even make sense. It’s not the way YT works at all.
Everything seems to be live and operational, but I'm waiting to get an official confirmation from GoFundMe before I give people the thumbs up to start donating again if that's something they're interested in.
By the way, where is the friend that’s on alert for jerks? Because the tone of some of these comments, my goodness. The man is sick. Could you just think before you speak sometimes. There really are some awful people in these comments.
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate when they show themselves so I can get rid of em. Not all rude people need to be blocked, but the one’s who repeatedly say the same disrespectful things in an aggressive way are making their way out too. 🙏🏼
Seems like a good idea. $1.99 $4.99 $9.99 etc. Maybe do some Q+A live streams if possible, videos at the hospital, or more personal videos where you can put your heart on the line a little more than you can with regular videos. Generally speaking, it doesn't seem as likely that people who are paying to be members, are going to be complete trolls. Doing this will give you more of a sense of purpose and may help you keep from getting into your own head too much. I hope it all works out for you, whichever way you choose. Edit spelling
I wish I could paint a positive picture, but my personal opinion is that paying people are going to expect more interaction from you (e.g. replies to all comments, including personal ones). In other words, “Perform for us, you Circus monkey”…I hope I’m wrong 😢. If I’ve gotten to know you at all (virtually of course), you are fiercely independent and you will shut the membership down quick 🤭✌️🫶 from Virginia, USA
It does sound like a positive thing On one hand But then Depending on how he feels And How much more pain He has been With the cancer He might not be able to keep up Because understandably He's going to have his good and bad days and cancer just straight up sucks! I am glad that he is keeping us updated and at the end of the day it is up to him but he must listen to his body. I hate this disease because the worst part is that you watch somebody deteriorate and there's nothing you or that person can do. But I am so thankful I got to meet him no matter what happens.
He said he’s only able to give so much, if he doesn’t live up to someone’s expectations they can just unsubscribe, it’s not really a factor in my opinion, he knows to make himself happy first so he won’t do more then he’s capable of doing
Sorry G, I don't do any You Tube memberships. Sending you love 🙏🤗👋
Personally I would spend time trying to enjoy my time x
I don't see immediately what extra content you could provide. What you do, sharing the life and emotions of a stage-4 cancer patient, is already very instructive. I personally don't have the financial strength to pay for more
You should focus on staying alive at this point.
I totally agree
Fight the fight stress free. Prayers and peace G
Sorry..not really interested.
Agreed.
No. What exactly would be be paying for? A reply or a heart emoji for a change? You've never found us worthy of that. Just take care of yourself. You've got enough on your plate. Best of luck with the new immunotherapy.

That's a good point that would actually make him look like he's right even though he is extremely wrong because these stalkers are crazy and extremely psychopathic.
I'll just ask that you prepare to have someone let us all know if you pass? Thats the kind and responsible thing to do.
Today, you appear unkempt. When my husband was in the hospital, he had me visit and shave him, etc. Or his brother. I wish you had someone to truly look after you. However, we have no choice but to respect your wishes. Personally, I'm not interested in a membership. I will continue to pray for you and try to monitor your channel in whatever way.
Peace and blessings ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For me, I'd be willing to assist some. In his situation, it is very hard to have predictable income, so a little from myself and others would help a lot.
I'd be happy and very willing to do a Membership. It doesn't bother me much in donating on a periodic basis a little, and I wouldn't really care about any perks that G would provide. I'd just be happy to see him have a little extra money to assist him during his cancer journey. Because all of us know, now, that he can't work full-time, and it is stressful when you don't have enough money to make ends meet, especially without the ability to work at an hourly and paying job. If it was something like $3, $5, $10, $25 a month, then those would be pretty good ranges for people.
PS…. LOVE the thumb nail pose..Are you familiar with the Napoleon Dynamite movie? (If not, you should watch the comedic masterpiece) If you ARE familiar, your pose shouts, “Do you have anything more BILLOWY?” 😆🤣😂
I don't mean to insult you (I personally love random comments like this), but I absolutely HATE Napoleon Dynamite. If I had to pick a movie that I consider the worst movie ever made, it would be a tie between Napoleon Dynamite and Borat. Sorry. Just not my kind of movie. But I do appreciate the random comment 🙏.
@ you didn’t insult me but I do not see any resemblance to the Borat movie 🤷♀️
I mean I think in one hand you should but on the other hand it probably might not be a good idea because when you are really on your off days rather physically mentally or both it's understandably so that you're not going to feel like like doing this on the consistent basis because it just takes a lot out of you and you will have to listen to your body. At the end of the day it's up to you and I'm still upset that go fund me still suspended your funds without hesitation when you have documented proof that you have cancer and there is one person I can think about in the back of my head that scammed people into giving her thousands of dollars that she lied and fabricated the event about but yet it took forever despite getting multiple people proving that she made up the story to get her funds suspended! That is so messed up! I am a Christian but rather you are or not a Christian we can all agree that this is messed up! 😢
I suppose it depends what you can offer members. Like exclusive live streams maybe?
9.99 a month...4000 subscribers...thats 40 thousand a month. In one year you could have a million dollars. Great idea Guillarme
Most are not interested in the Membership, read the comments
I don’t think you would lose anybody if you did it like someone said. It’s not something that if you started having memberships that anyone would be forced to do. It’s not like people are gonna be missing out on a lot of extra content. I just thought personally that it would be Easy to do something like one of the channels that I have seen that has the option of one dollar per month. And depending on how many people have signed up to pay one dollar per month that would just help you raise a little bit more money. Also to be able to take care of everything you need to take care of. But I don’t know. I don’t know if everybody on here even understands the way memberships work becauseit wouldn’t make anyone unsubscribe from you. I wouldn’t think. That doesn’t even make sense. It’s not the way YT works at all.
Is your go fund me operational?
Everything seems to be live and operational, but I'm waiting to get an official confirmation from GoFundMe before I give people the thumbs up to start donating again if that's something they're interested in.
Sending you lots of love ❤❤❤
By the way, where is the friend that’s on alert for jerks? Because the tone of some of these comments, my goodness. The man is sick. Could you just think before you speak sometimes. There really are some awful people in these comments.
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate when they show themselves so I can get rid of em.
Not all rude people need to be blocked, but the one’s who repeatedly say the same disrespectful things in an aggressive way are making their way out too. 🙏🏼
Seems like a good idea. $1.99 $4.99 $9.99 etc. Maybe do some Q+A live streams if possible, videos at the hospital, or more personal videos where you can put your heart on the line a little more than you can with regular videos. Generally speaking, it doesn't seem as likely that people who are paying to be members, are going to be complete trolls. Doing this will give you more of a sense of purpose and may help you keep from getting into your own head too much. I hope it all works out for you, whichever way you choose.
Edit spelling
Question answer live stream is good one, good advice ☺️
Yes you should😀❤
I wish I could paint a positive picture, but my personal opinion is that paying people are going to expect more interaction from you (e.g. replies to all comments, including personal ones). In other words, “Perform for us, you Circus monkey”…I hope I’m wrong 😢.
If I’ve gotten to know you at all (virtually of course), you are fiercely independent and you will shut the membership down quick 🤭✌️🫶 from Virginia, USA
It does sound like a positive thing On one hand But then Depending on how he feels And How much more pain He has been With the cancer He might not be able to keep up Because understandably He's going to have his good and bad days and cancer just straight up sucks! I am glad that he is keeping us updated and at the end of the day it is up to him but he must listen to his body. I hate this disease because the worst part is that you watch somebody deteriorate and there's nothing you or that person can do. But I am so thankful I got to meet him no matter what happens.
He said he’s only able to give so much, if he doesn’t live up to someone’s expectations they can just unsubscribe, it’s not really a factor in my opinion, he knows to make himself happy first so he won’t do more then he’s capable of doing
