[@gregorybentley5707]

@@breadcookedagain Sponsors are extra money and are irrelevant in this case...the real reason this isn't so bad is because they get to write it off as a business expense on taxes, so in essence they'll get a lot of it back. A few twitch streamers recently said they get to write off their microtransactions and games they buy as business expense too, pretty interesting.

[@georgedragon4039]

Could you make a new series called Ken vs Austin instead of broke vs pro where each person gets the same amount of budget. This would allow us the viewers to see how two different people choose to make something with the same amount of money. The first episode could be the best gaming laptop docking station for $700 where you have to get a laptop, desk, chair, monitor, extra keyboard and mouse for $700. I feel this would be more interesting and informative for what the average person can do who may not have access to something like a micro center and does not want to shell out lots of money for a graphics card right now. This is just my personal idea for a video series they don’t have to do it. Like if you want to see it. Ps. Make the sponsor of the video not micro center.
