alright -- you've convinced me!! thank you for the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the question "should I start a patreon". www.patreon.com/kelgoretrout
Gates father was a partner and his mother was a socialite who had the hook up. His mother had the ear of a top IBM executive and was able to recommend Microsoft to them. Who in the hood got that type of hook up or network connection? Also, if you got a garage you’re in the petite bourgeoisie.
Don't forget Gates also capitalised on a bunch of previously freeware software, & copyrighted it in the process, ruining loads of independent developers' lives, & making tech waaaay more expensive for everyone in the process... See Thought Slime, Another Slice, & Wisecrack's Bill Gates videos for further Gates-related fuckery. Also, if you've got a garage big enough to park your car & run your business, or sufficient off-street parking to park your car instead while using your garage for your business, you may be full bourgeoisie, never mind the petite.
@@LustStarrr Don't get me started on the freeware stuff! Though I still let out a laugh when I see Git and Bash on a Windows box... These greedy punks are still capitalizing on freeware. Mainly Open Software like Python. Agree that you're no longer petite if your garage can fit all of that. Have to check out Though Slime's videos on Gates!
Even most middle to upper middle class kids dont have that hook up. I was raised by my (pretty well off, low millionaires basically) grandparents who were both retired by the time I was in high school. Their fields were not in any way related to mine. How was I supposed to use them for contacts?
@@tsharabrown3719 There's a reason so many powerful and wealthy people go to Harvard. There's a barrier where those social connections are *the* deciding factor on if you will have access to the opportunity to grow that wealthy.
Hey Girlie, if you want to start a business in your garage, and bee your own boss, or Queen maybe, you should sell triangle honey! It’s not a pyramid scheme, it’s a triangle business that’s sweet for you, and your community! Lots of Queens make 6 figure numbers in their first year! Not to mention all the drone bees you meet ;)
I swear halfway through this comment selling a fake MLM, I got the idea for a book about a MLM, that turns you into bees, the CEO is a geneticist, who wants to turn everyone into bees to save the environment. In the film Judy Dench plays the CEO.
yo, you went from a very interesting british accent to a southern bell, back briefly to a british person, only to fall into like a 1920s flapper-girl. ya love to see it
Even the myth as told is kind of insane. Myth: "They spent months and months, nights and weekends, sometimes quitting successful jobs and worked their way up (in a garage)! You can too!" Me: "What if I dont have the time and spoons to just spend all my free time on an unpaid side project due to any number of issues that affect humans?" Myth: "Oh, just die then. You just dont have the right mindset."
Yup! And if you *do* take that risk and trade stability for a chance at upward mobility, and you fail, then suddenly the garage grindset yes-men change their tune - "Well, you must've done it wrong! Sorry, can't help; you'll have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps!"
True story, I work for a company that literally began in a small garage that would later become an industry leader while remaining a family oriented privately owned company. For various legitimate reasons (mainly a large number of employees reaching retirement age) it was absolutely necessary to sell the company. It was bought by a large publicly traded company and took a turn for the worse almost immediately. It was a good run though, now people are jumping ship as soon as they can.
It's about time. You were the first youtuber we watch where I was like we should join their patreon. I grew up poor af but we're stable and I'm down to support your channel
Just discovered your channel and love this series. So many 'LinkedIn life coaches' spout these obvious boring stories like "big company used to be little company etc"...No way!!.... But then usually in the same article will tell you to support local business rather than big corporate's like Starbucks....but didn't Starbucks start as a........gasp!......small local business!!??? :-) Oh and as a Brit (I know, I'm sorry), your accent is great.
I appreciate that! Fundie Fridays does a patreon and its just $3/mo fan club, no other options and I think that's kind of a cool idea. But some people seem to like the idea of bonus stuff, too.
Steve Jobs also extorted his father into sending him to a specific college: a college he later dropped out of. His dad was working class, and Steve said that if he didn't get to go to a specific college, he wouldn't go at all. Steve credited his experiences in college with how Apple turned out, but he started on the back of his dad.
I would really like to see a video where you delve deeper into what these men have done. For example in what specific ways have they exploited people to get rich and to get to the top. Only if that's something you'd be interested in talking about!
I think you should just start a patreon and figure out later whether you’d like to add bonus content! Personally I get so behind on watching vids and stuff that I miss a lot of bonus content anyway but I’m just happy to support channels like yours as long as I can afford to. (I do get a small thrill from seeing my name in the credits tho - wonder if other people feel the same? And that’s an easy lil thing you can do).
Video idea: whiteboard dudes. Basically any of these “entrepreneurs” that put ads (one was on your video from “Recovery Rush”) standing in front of a whiteboard writing random buzzwords about how their business is definitely legitimate and not some bullshit middleman “click funnel”. Tons of promises, trying to sell you a “masterclass” which basically amounts to making a Shopify store
Probably off topic, but I am fascinated by Steve Jobs' history - he was put up for adoption at birth, and his adoptive dad was a machinist (his college-student parents wanted him to be raised by educated people, but he was placed in a more blue-collar home). You know he picked up some of his design aptitude interest from there. His birthfather was the son of a self-made Syrian millionaire, and the sister that his birthmother kept (after marrying Jobs' father) turned out to be a successful novelist who never knew her mother had borne and relinquished an older brother, and that he was famous. We are all such a stew or our genes, our upbringing, and our life experiences. He's a rarity, though, in that most of these "came from a garage" people had beaucoup family dollars behind them.
To assume that Amazon "created jobs" is to assume that the people who work for Amazon would be unemployed without it. They wouldn't. Some of them might have started small businesses. Some of them might have had better jobs.
I’m very into the idea of a patreon! Due to what I recognize is sheer luck and privilege, I can comfortably afford to chip in. As far as ideas: early releases probably wouldn’t mean extra work for you, and non-patrons wouldn’t miss anything. I personally don’t usually watch releases early, though. My favorite things to get from patreon are off topic bonus episodes (like, “this has nothing to do with my channel, i just like talking about it” stuff), and photos of pets. One of my patreon subscriptions (iAmMoshow the Cat Rapper) is almost exclusively for the cat photos. Also, I was a patron for the podcast You’re Wrong About before they even had any bonuses at all lol. You can just start it and add stuff later-people already want to support you, even without bonuses.
thanks for the input! I have been hearing this from a lot of people and it is very encouraging. I like the idea of doing bonus content & fun posts for patrons. I also love the idea of patrons helping me decide which videos to make, etc! =]
I also get the bad feelings when asking people for money. :/ I decided to do a patreon for my youtube channel (not this account) after I saw Amanda Palmer's TED talk about asking fans for money. She makes some great points that made me feel like less of a piece of shit! :D I feel the first hurdle is truly recognizing your work really is worth something to other people and sometimes all it takes is to ask. Feeling bad about asking working class people for money, I found a thing called "buy me a coffee" (iirc) so people dont have to sign up for something. They can just shoot you a couple bucks when they can. I wish you luck ^_^
Heck yeah get a patreon. Most of the ppl I support have some amount of early access (like a day or so before) and no ads if there was like some kind of ad read in the video/podcast. None of that is super necessary for me honestly I just want something to give a few bucks to creators I like.
sure! I read a huge variety of stuff, but lately my two favorites have been -Refusal of Work by David Frayne -Bullsh!t Jobs by David Graeber The first one is also full of citations to a lot of academic texts and essays, which I also have been spending a lot of time reading. Bertrand Russell is another great read, for the more poetic type philosophical stuff about work. David Graeber is a gem because he is an anthropologist and so many of his books are centered around "There is more potential to human civilization that what we are currently doing"
imagine being rich, being too lazy and ignorant to come to even the slightest agreement. Let's petition to fire the government or take from their pocket Money is good for only three things : fun, investing, and giving.
"Imagine being rich, being too lazy & ignorant to come to even the slightest agreement?" I'll take, 'What is Elon Musk?' for $200, Alex. 😉 Nah, but seriously, check out HeyItsVadim's latest video on Elon to find out exactly how much he's actually done, in terms of innovation (hint: fucking nothing).
Heck I have a garage. I must be a future millionaire in disguise. I have always doubted the full sincerity of these garage stories. As you said many of them probably have some advantage that put them in that position. Such as having parents that are not what most would call even rich but still well enough off that a child can live with them and not have a normal job. This child could then take the time to develop a skill or business in these proverbial garages that sets them up for life or success.
I like the ''British'' accent especially how you emphasise our different pronunciation of ''garage'' lol. On a serious note, I think the garage myth is a modern day incarnation of being born in a stable, after all the garage is the modern equivalent of a horse stable. So these ''humble'' people are trying to compare themselves to Jesus. Tossers.
My preferred flavour of patreon is the one where people can donate any amount, and get nothing exclusive in return (no gated content). Keep up the good work Kelgore (and create the damn patreon already).
Monetization is not bad. If I can help another's praxis, I will. You should also stop thinking about support as a transactionary process. Some of us want to help without needing to reap any benefits.
Men ARE easy to pander to. Entire industries survive off doing it. Those of us that aren't classicly "macho" can still be influenced with family talk. Pro Wrestling also comes to mind.
omg, you should interview tekking101....he is an actual example of the america dream, he isn't rolling it it though. His mom works as walmart and is divorced his dad i believe is blue collar too. He went to college for communication worked at dollar tree forever. He does youtube and is 28 I think. Lived with his mom till this year and just got a house. does TH-cam full time now. I feel like the american dream isn't possible with normal jobs which is bad. Even the fake stories of rich people becoming CEO involved being first in tech a "new" field. I think we need to make are old fields possible to live in, why does everyone have to be a trail blazer in order to live, it sucks.
I love your video at large but i will advice everybody who is into cryptos to Stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys. If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream may be lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind.
Bill Gates' well-off lawyer daddy bought QDOS (that was rebranded as MS-DOS) for him for $30,000 and he had the luck (along with a small manufacturer of cheap, crap processors [Intel] to be in the right place at the right time with a cheap enough product to get the IBM contract to build home PCs. Google was a PhD project part-funded by the CIA.

😊 "capitalism sucks", "tell me what I can do to capitalize from you" lol. You deserve to sell your product, I'm just appreciating the irony in the two statements.
@John v Davis you are right Bitcoin trading might make you rich if you are hedge fund with deep pockets or an unusual skilled currency trader After a successful investment you have nothing to worry about, whether the rise and fall of economy won't affect you. Make's your future brighter, by making good investment
Hello everyone, well if I'm permitted to speak I think Investing right now should be at the top of everyone's list. In 2years you will be ecstatic with the decision you made today! Bitcoin is the most secure run on the largest decentralized computer network in existence.

It's basically reverse causation. They almost imply that if you have a garage the GARAGE itself will help you start a massive company!
