Do explain why this is love-related.

Re: IndieGoGo: "Help Kaldrey Make A Gaming Channel"

Ok so here are my thoughts:

You are 99.99% never going to reach the goal, simply because there is no reason for anyone to donate to you except a sob story. You have nothing to show why it would be a good idea to give you a bunch of money for a computer. I have no clue how good your videos will be or If you will ever even make one. There are thousands upon thousands upon millions of Youtubers who do gaming videos. It is an extremely over-saturated marked where no one earns a single cent except for the very very few at the very very top. Even then it is only a handful of these that make more than a minimum wage job.

So giving you money, to sponsor you to try to make Youtubing a job is a very poor investment.

If you can't get a job because you freeze at job-interviews and tell them that there is nothing good about you, well then you should maybe focus on working on that, rather that begging for money for a gaming computer. Talk to friends, family or seek counseling if that does not help. Most people have "anxiety" issues when faced with new challenges, the way to overcome them are by failing enough times until you just don't care anymore.

IF you do want to have a gaming channel as a HOBBY, then I would recommend you start now, without any fancy new computer. Use the one you already have and record games that your computer can handle. That way you can see if you are any good at it, and people can see if they enjoy your content. If your fanbase grows then you might have a better chance in the future to fund better equipment or over time earn it from add revenue.
