So I sold one of my videos to Japanese Television, and - General

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057539]'Look man, you're only argument for it not being art, is that it is not art. Which makes it a really poor opinion on the matter.

[QUOTE=Lazore;40057532]The thing is, if you said in your first post how much you got paid, people would cheer for you. Like "Way to go man!" Cause people here are supportive like a group. Its about you, not the money.[/QUOTE] You summed up why I DID NOT want to say how much I got paid because it is about the art not the money. It apparently is not enough for people to know I sold it. They need to know how much, too.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057512]And you wouldn't have gotten any dickery from me if you had any respect.[/QUOTE] I can't respect something that sounds egoistical as fuck. Hey dude, cool contraption, how much they paid you for it? NONE OF YOUR GOD DAMN BUSINESS MOTHERFUCKER RESPECT MY ART AND BOW TO MY GREATNESS Yeah, how about no.

They, personally, aren't appealing to watch. I understand funds and space would be an issue, example being Ok-Go and Honda can throw cash at it to make it look amazing. In your case, after 189 videos they all end up being the same thing, you've not really done anything that makes some people go "wow this is actually great".

Because YOU don't like something doesn't magically make it not art.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057407]Hey you guessed how much they paid me! You are still a disrespectful asshole. Go back to your mom's basement. [editline]27th March 2013[/editline] Explain to me why it is not, you dumbfuck cumburger with cliche insults.[/QUOTE] Are you kidding me? Only children have the need to come up with "better" insults, pretty sure "idiot" gets the point across just fine. Grow up a bit more before looking for critisicm as well as socially interacting on the internet, because you're doing it wrong.

No it doesn't---I need passion behind my vulgarities, insight.

[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;40057553][B]Edit:[/b]Holy shit, how did I get ninja'd by half a page?[/QUOTE] popular threads that flood the ticker do this naturally

I am a big faggot, though. That's one of the cool things about me.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057598]Because YOU don't like something doesn't magically make it not art.[/QUOTE] If you said how much originally this would of went MUCH better, AND people would of been more interested in your art. Rather than seeing how much of an absolute hypocritical dumb fuck you really are.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057620]I am a big faggot, though. That's one of the cool things about me.[/QUOTE] Ok, thread is over, he went full retard.

That was cool, and you guys are jerks.

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057620]I am a big faggot, though. That's one of the cool things about me.[/QUOTE] No, you're just a bad example of a homosexual, if that's what you were going for. And no, all the passion an adult needs behind an insult is the word "fuck" for instance: "Apollyphelion, you're a FUCKING idiot"

[QUOTE=Apollyphelion;40057010]And I think it is fucking rude to ask someone how much they got paid. Do you ask people if they bought their clothes at Wal-Mart? In this thread: People who don't respect privacy. Get the fuck out of this thread. Honestly, I have WAYY better rubes than the one they bought. I have 189 of them. So it was puzzling to me why they bought this one. I don't think I'm a celebrity, I think you just know fuck all about this art form. Get the fuck out of this thread and never look back, Jack. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming / calm the hell down" - MaxOfS2D))[/highlight][/QUOTE] It's also rude to tell people to get the fuck out of threads.

So the OP got paid $500 or not? Dammit you could had at least made it more fun by making it a guessing game Like compare it to some item like a Dildo shaped larva lamp Or give it to us in the form of some algebraic equation and let us solve it or something

Oh of fucking course he goes on a huge temper tantrum about not wanting to tell us the price he was paid, but then can't resist the temptation to tell us anyway as soon as someone randomly guesses the number on accident.

[QUOTE=Tudd;40057659]Made my own Rube Goldberg Machine.[/QUOTE] true art to say the least. Also whataburger is #1 fast food.

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;40057669]true art to say the least. Also whataburger is #1 fast food.[/QUOTE] Hopefully I get paid by some kawaii desu channel to pay for my artistic lifestyle.

This thread reminds me of that one other thread where everyone kept asking OP if he got permission for the music used in his video.

Okay I think this thread has just about run its course. Apolly, I'm glad you're having success with your work but try to refrain from looking down on other people. Even if you think they're being disrespectful it's always better to turn the other cheek than lash out or become condescending. And everyone's opinion is valid, no matter how uneducated. You need to be willing to take responsibility for why someone who doesn't 'understand' things as you do would feel the way they do if you're going to have it out with them.

He didn't get paid 500 dollars for this shit, and its the only reason he doesn't want to tell it, he properly made about 50 dollars for this. And if he told us he made 50 dollars for this after his retardation, we would all have the biggest laugh ever.
