Think the tard agreeing with Ethan is our current laughing stock?
Yes, he is.
I sent the photos he posted to a couple printers and they were able to tell me about his physical location. The first few books have a very smooth warp along the pages, which is significant. It means they have been stored in an environment that lacks sufficient environmental controls and is consistently humid. As opposed to being stored somewhere where the heat and humidity changes with the season, where we would expect to see ripples on the page instead of a long, smooth warp.
They were also able to tell me something about how how he's selling the books because of the fraying. The cover is a heavyweight cardstock treated with a gloss finish. It's pretty resistent to the elements and typically only degrades from friction. There's a cardboard box in the background, which is likely where the books are physically stored. It's clear these books are being scraped across the box frequently, as if they are being pulled out and put back. This means he doesn't have inventory sitting on a shelf, he's taking it around to swap meets and conventions. This would be consistent with the cracks I can see in the glue, people are looking at the books to decide whether or not to buy them.
I got someone to look at eBay to identify every seller who has more than one copy of Jawbreakers and Lonestar. It's a very small list. There are only 2 where the climate is consistently warm and humid. There is only one who is local to conventions and comic stores where the books can be sold, and that's Cryptic.
To test my hypothesis, I did some analysis of the SEO keywords related to Comicsgate. All that comes up is dangerhair news articles, social media, reference sites and various blogs and forums. There is no evidence of link-building - like the tier 2 / 3 links used to build visibility and reputation in search engines. This means Comicsgate is inept at marketing but, more importantly, there are no e-commerce sites actively focusing on SERP. If
@UndeliveredCrowdfundMaste is reaching customers online, it's through a portal like Amazon or eBay.
I have his dox. He's a sad case, there's a real school shooter vibe to him. He lives with his parents and doesn't appear to have graduated college. He has a lot of pictures of himself with comics creators all with this emotionless stare. Several failed digital ventures that lead to moving everything onto eBay. Social media makes him seem withdrawn and only focused on comic books and Trump posts.
I dumped all his social media, which should be some value to archivists looking to hunt down the true identities of the people in Warcampaign. Will post the dox tomorrow, all this having to think about him has left me feeling a little sick.
When done with comics you just don't read anymore, it's not a bad thing at all to support. Secondhand market is how many everyday items get bought, from cars to electronics. It's just that the tard who's stuck in this thread, caring about small things like ratings on a random forum and not his own monetary issues, is a classic example of doing something without thinking and without proper money management skills. Buying a whole fucking boxes of comics is just plain stupid when comics are in a general decline and there's no one else at fault but his own dumbass.
I would disagree with parts of this.
Yes, @Under is a dumbass, no question there. But is there a market for very expensive floppies?
There could be. But Comicsgate has done NOTHING to market their books to anyone outside their YouTube audience.
This is a good site for visualizing the popularity of keywords in search engines. You would have to get past the links on the right to see anything else. 99% of people don't do that.

This is what the rest of the world sees when they search for Comicsgate. For everyone who watches an EVS or YBZ video, there are tens of thousands who equate Comicsgate with a scandal.
No one is touching that market. Instead, CG creators are dealing with all the drama kicked up by faggot shitstains like
@UndeliveredCrowdfundMaste. All these gay ops are literally dragging down the entire community, keeping creators from taking simple steps to grow their markets.
