I Don't Want The Same Things Anymore

Holy doggies...we had 1700 bags to ship and we sold all of them in two hours! There are a few other things on sale. The Nerdfighter backpack is $20, so is a crewneck sweatshirt I designed...and there are MYSTERY SOCKS for just $6!!
You can find all of it here: store.dftba.com/collections/v...
The transition to DFTBA profit going to Partners in Health actually (because of how our accounting works) extends back through the entire last year. Profit that isn't going to PIH is either being held as an "operating reserve" (basically 'just in case" money) or distributed to small minority owners who helped us with investment when we needed it.
This might be a tad confusing because DFTBA is a separate company from Complexly (our production company). So the money DFTBA.com makes is profit from providing services to creators (including Complexly.) Complexly (and all of our other creators) will keep making money as normal. So DFTBA's profit is going to PIH, while the money Vlogbrothers makes from selling stuff is still going to Complexly as it's an important part of how we keep the lights on!

@@MrZiron94 In case my irony precludes my message from shining through: "philantropy" isn't great because it serves as a way to avoid the will of the general collectivity, and let the richest people decide to whom they will be generous. Now, granted, our political system isn't quite as fair as we could want it to be, but the solution to corruption is not to just ignore it and get around it. People need to start paying fair taxes, and the government needs to start doing its job. If Hank doesn't know what to do with all his profits, it's because they're not taxed enough.

[@DaveyBooms]

Your perspective is often useful to me, Hank. Thank you for evolving, and sharing.

[@brookepauley411]

Hank is examining this from an entrepreneurial perspective, but as I watched, I couldn't help seeing its creative implications. If any creative people haven't read Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Big Magic, you should. She defines creative ideas as disembodied forms that float through the universe, through time and space, looking for human beings to concretize them into creative projects. When this happens, Gilbert writes, "The simplest answer, of course, is just to say no...You might need to say no to the idea because it is truly not the right moment, or because you're already engaged in a different creative project, or because you're certain that this particular idea has accidentally knocked on the wrong door." I myself have so many ideas, and I want to carve out time to create all of them, but I know it's just not possible. Hank reaffirmed this for me today, and further inspired me by showing me that the vlogbrothers keep creating things--things they really want to--anyway. And they do it with an eye toward making the world suck less. How much richer we all are for it. Thank you

Yeah I know they're had some t-shirts made in the US too at some point. But most of them last time I checked nope.

[@JoneseyBanana]

Both niche and quiche are French words that got borrowed into English, and in British English we say them both the same way. A lot of Americans pronounce it 'nitch', because the US doesn't have as much influence from the French language so they don't know how it should be pronounced. A bit like "clique", really! (It's 'cleek', not 'click')

[@robertofontiglia4148]

@@JoneseyBanana In Québec, we speak French, and we pronounce it "click". People pronounce things differently, it's no big deal... And don't you dare tell me we're doing it wrong.

Super glad I realized you had the "5 gold and a patry" shirts and bought myself one for Christmas! Because if I had waited I would have been devastated to see them sold out. I'm guessing there's some Titansgrave swag in those bags as well!

If I wasn't poor, I would have bought a van-load just to give away. Love your content, direction, and the fact that you and your brother (not to mention company/cohorts/staff AND fans) get behind moore than just lining your pockets. Keep it up!

You're right, you should vlog in the woods (or anywhere in nature, for that matter) more often. The outdoors really is beautiful.
