He's currently deleting his tweets one by one.

So I can't post his hot take that if there was no government, there would be no spousal abuse.

I'm gonna open a patreon so people can give me money for randomly posting on SA when I have nothing going on at work.

200 dollars per post please, I don't even post that often, so it's basically a treasure for y'all.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
i wanna know where this guy got the idea that the free market will lead to payment for gifs, as if every gif out there is from a socialist government gif-making program

When you don't have any laws you can't have crime, seems sensible. Make Gif Man president of the oh wait.

From what I can gather nobody paid him money for his gifs and all the free gif boys made fun of him for trying to start a patreon for it. Thus, a meltdown from a libertarian was spawned.

If libertarians actually believed that we should have literally no government and brutally murder our enemies and then profit from the brutal murder in gif form, they'd probably have a better chance of winning an election

Sadly, you're actually talking about "wannabe internet anarchist (but only if the anarchy personally benefits me and my gif making career)"

Maffew has a Patreon IIRC but at least Maffew puts out a unique product no one else can exactly provide the way he does. There's tons of valid Patreons that invoice utilizing other content, but a gif Patreon is next level poo poo.

Still a lot but I feel like it's gotten a little better at least. Also some of the ending gags have a bit more effort to them lately. Just anecdotal though.

If Maffew is to be believed he had 25K followers before he deleted his account. If he just said "Hey, I have to pay rent and you all like my gifs. Could you maybe give me a dollar so I can pay rent" he'd probably end up getting at least $1000 a month.

But instead he had to be a capitalist about it.

A grand a month is probably optimistic but he'd definitely got a decent little chunk for doing something that is sorta effortless and outdated.

Oh no, see, as long as there is a government there is no free market. It's the government enforcing copyrights that are why no one wants to pay someone to make gifs of wrestlemans. (This is his Twitter paraphrased.)

Also, the @gifelite name seems to have been taken by a bot already

Broken made sense but "woken", from what a bad fever dream that he was actually more popular than Jeff and managed to win a billion world titles, but now he had "woken" up from his stupidity to act, instead of like sweeney todd and beetlejuices love child, to a more bizarre offspring of joker and mask number 5 from the dark knight

I'm really glad Julian Assange helped Donald Trump so that now everyone can hate him instead of pretending he's cool because he leaked some stuff that made America look bad

Dolph Ziggler liking him is just the cherry on top
